My first hunting picture - very early 60's
Grandma Headed Out:
Grandpa working on the results:
This one came with an interesting story. In my Uncle's words:
"Uncle Dell (making him my Great Uncle) Grandpa's Brother, came across this mule deer standing in the creek while hunting in Lake Fork (Spanish Fork Canyon) in 1949. He jumped off his horse and got ready to shoot it, then noticed something strange about it. So, he watched it for a while and determined it was blind. He and two of his sons roped it and took it down to their camp and tied it between two trees so it couldn't hurt itself.
After the hunt, they took it to the Springville fish hatchery where the Fish & Game had some corrals and pens for injured animals. The Vet told them that the deer had bad cataracts, and could only see about two feet at best. As a kid, I remember going there with Grandpa from time to time to check up on him. He lived for many more years in peace and comfort!"
Cheers
