Sorry if these pictures offend anyone...since I don't keep a journal anymore...this IS my journal and this is life in the Nelson family and Hamblin family. Aaron has been hunting with Jim since he was 10 years old...not only has he never taken an animal, but he has never even SEEN AN ANIMAL on any hunt!! He told Jim that this was it, if he did not have success this time, he was done forever. Jims wanted this for Aaron as bad as Aaron wanted this for himself!! This was a happy day for them. A cute note...Aaron & Becki already have plans to tan the hide and make moccasins. It is so them, I don't think any part of the deer will be wasted. Besides the success of the hunt...Jim, Aaron, and Grandpa Nelson had a great time in the desert near Quartsite, with the exception of the first night, when setting up camp, Aaron realized that he left his sleeping bag at home. He said he was freezing...it could have been much worse though...it could have been in the mountains!! Oh yeah...I almost forgot, Jim was successful getting a deer as well! :o)
