Draw Update

:( Yes that is a sad face. We didn't draw any awesome tags this year.... Bill did draw a general deer tag, and so did Rye. I know this because we put Rye's hunts on my cc and Bill somehow has them emailing the results to my email.

You can expect Coop to be hunting this fall he is a dedicated hunter they should call it obsessive hunter and he will also be archery elk hunting. I believe Dough is also a dedicated hunter and he enjoyed the muzzle loader elk hunt last year and I expect him to purchase the tag again this year. We are still waiting to see if they draw a tag in Wyoming. I believe we have to wait until July to find out if they drew in Wyoming. Oh and remember we paid extra money so they could have a better chance (100%) of drawing. What part of chance and draw do these men not understand, and does 100% go with it? I didn't think so.

I will keep on them about updating the blog with past pics to keep you all entertained.

Happy Hunting, Tanya

Hunts with the Dogs

These men will regret letting me set up their blog because then I can put anything I want on it. :)

This week was the draw for a Bear tag, Coop had 6 pts and he read in a magazine that his odds were 100% . Guess what he did not draw. I can chuckle and see the humor in this but Coop doesn't think it is at all funny. This article also suggested that they have 100% chance of drawing a Wyoming deer tag if they spend a bunch more money for some special tag. I'm still waiting for my chuckle on that one too.

So what is 100% chance, it is still a chance and the idiot who published the article needs to realize that it is still a draw and they have no clue who or how many will apply for a hunt or multiple hunts.

Just a fair warning next year, Coop will have 7 pts.

Where do they think that meat comes from?

Hunts '05

2005 was an amazing year for the Crystal's, well Coop's family. Cooper drew out for a once in a lifetime tag, a goat. And Tanya drew out for the Wasatch Elk tag (she was 4 months pregnant). Not to mention a couple / few years before where Cooper killed a 57" bull on the Wasatch Elk Hunt. Here are pictures of Tanya's elk and Cooper goat.

The Goat Hunt

Did I mention that the boys were able to to go on this hunt and we saw him shoot the goat and the goat fall down and down the hill.

2008 Winter

So many of you remember the harsh winter conditions (all the snow and cold weather) we had the 2007-2008 winter. Cooper is a member of the SFW (I think that is what it is still called), and he with all the other members and some other locals began feeding the deer with feed provided / paid by SFW & the Wildlife division. It took tons of time and dedication. The interesting thing was when they first started very the deer were far away but you could spot a few. But towards the end of the feeding season you could almost touch the deer. They could smell and hear the pellets hit the barrell and they would just swarm you. For us this became a great family outing. Besure to watch the video it is amazing.

Isn't this amazing!

The only way we know if anyone is viewing our blog is by the comments you leave us so besure to let us know what you think!

No weapon

While out "hunting" for a Christmas Tree the winter of '07, Dough spotted a rabbit and was able to kill it with just a rock. The nephews thought he was really cool to be able to kill with out a weapon.
