My
Daughter-in-Law Also Hunts
My son Tyler was
fortunate enough to be born in a great hunting state and then grow up in a family that
hunts. A lifelong resident of Wyoming, he in turn married a girl on February 2, 2002
that was born and raised right here in Buffalo. His wife Jackie also comes from a
family that hunts. I have no doubt our Grandson, Kale will follow suit. Kale
will be two this summer so he has a while to wait for his first tag, but already joins Mom
& Dad on their hunting and fishing excursions.
As Jackie guides
for her Dad, and Tyler has been one of my most outstanding guides since he was old enough
to obtain his first guide license, finding time to do much family hunting sometimes can be
hard if not impossible. With a 14 day mule deer and antelope season in the area we
hunt. The night of the October 13th found us with all of our hunters finished,
except one gentleman needed an antelope. This hunter was one I was guiding.
Tyler called from his camp and asked if he could take Jackie out and let her possibly get
a deer the last day of the season. A deal was struck. Jackie could go hunting,
but Grandma gets to keep Kale for the day.
The following
morning Tyler and Jackie headed into some of the rough county that he knows so well.
Growing up here on the ranch and spending a lot of time gathering cattle and
guiding hunters in this large area, you would think a person would see most of the deer
calling this home. This is not to be! Some of those good bucks just never show
themselves. After some time spent glassing, they spotted three bucks together.
They put a successful stalk on the group and Jackie was able to take a carefully
placed shot. The results wee this beautiful 5X7 mule deer that gross scored 187 and
4/4 B&C. This one is going to our taxidermist Tom Etenger and then on the wall.
Nice job Tyler & Jackie.
