[CG :2 Line\Tyler Hendrickson\Snow is magic]
After waiting several hours at the mouth of I-84 for it to open during a snow storm, cousins, Tyler and Clint, knew this was a day they didn't want to miss. With 8 inches of fresh snow, a late morning start wasn't going to discourage them. Within an hour Tyler had bagged a nice 4x4. A few hours later Clint had shot an equally nice 3x4. Tyler kept telling Clint, "This snow is magic! The big bucks just seem to come out of nowhere." It was a deer hunt they will always remember.
[CG :2 Line\Daron Bush\WINNER!]
and finally our winner tonight is a sight you don't see that often. Back in October Daron, his two sons Corey and Brandon and his dad Clifford were fishing up at Deer Creek when they came upon what they initially thought was a big stick sticking out of the water. Daron says that stick started to move and the closer they got, the finally realized they'd caught a big ol bull elk and four cows swimming across the lake. Daron says it was pretty cool experience, his boys couldn't stop taking pictures.
