The Time Has Come....

The time has come for my most favorite time of year.... DEER HUNT!!!  I am so excited when this time of year rolls around!  I do however, wish my bunnies had the experiences that I grew up with.  Just to share a few.... The Robison clan would all gather at the "Mud Puddle" spot in Fillmore's Canyon.  My dear Uncle Scotty, Aunt Elaine, and their children and their children.  Cousin Stan and all of his children from Delta. Aunt Reva and Uncle Floyd would bring their son and all of his children. And then of course, my Grandpa Phil and ALL of his children and their children!  There would be tons of cousins to play with and lots of Dutch Oven cooking!!!  It seemed that not everyone got their buck, but most did.  It almost didn't even matter, it was a time we were all together and a GREAT FAMILY REUNION, even though technically it wasn't.....  My favorite was that Sunday afternoon.... My Uncle Scotty wouldn't hunt on Sunday, claiming it to be a day of rest.  So he and I would saddle the horses and go for a ride.  Just he and I.  He was always such a great man in my eyes.  He was the man that I turned to when I needed a hug, the man that gave me such confidence!  Uncle Scotty was not only my "Twinner" (I was born on his birthday)  but one my best-est friends.  I sure miss him on this "Holiday" and as I am hunting for my first time this year with my Hubby, I will have a hard time not remembering the great times I have had with my family wearing Orange......
