What a way to end a birthday week! Last weekend Cainan took his first mule deer in southern Colorado. Both boys had tags but we were only able to spot and stalk this single buck out of the hundreds of does we saw.
This mild fall with no snow and warm temperatures meant the bucks stayed way up high in the mountains and hidden this hunt. Cai put dozens of miles of effort in, but deferred to his big brother taking this buck by choice. We asked the boys on the drive to Colorado who would shoot first and Cai said “Cainan does, he’s older so he gets first shot”. Truly a selfless show of love.
We are so excited to add this buck to our menu for the next several months. Congratulations to Cainan on his hard work hiking, taking and processing this deer!
