We made our annual hunting trip to Clinton, Iowa this past weekend! It was so much fun because my brother, Kevin, and our friend, Jeff, came hunting, too. On Saturday evening, we all made the drive to Clinton, Iowa. We ended up leaving a little late because Greg and Jeff got off work late, but once we got to Clinton, the guys stopped to check out the hunting spot, and the water was way deeper than last year! Greg had to get in the water, and check out several different entry points, and he still was unsure of where they would be able to enter the water to hunt in the morning. Then, we met my brother at Candlelight Inn and had a really yummy dinner, and the guys talked about what they were going to do in the morning. It was so cute because Greg was so worried about if they would be able to hunt, but they all knew they would be able to figure it out in the morning.
We also stayed at the hotel we stayed at last year, and Greg and I got the hotel room with the jacuzzi, and it was just the best! I relaxed in it on Sunday morning with lots of bubbles while the guys were hunting, and as soon as Greg got back he took one, too, to warm up! Also, we had a king size bed, and we both want one for our bedroom sooo badly lol!
As for the hunt, the water was deep, but they did get to see ducks and shot two. They even said that one shot was crazy because Jeff was doing something, and Greg was holding his gun, and a duck came flying out of nowhere, and Greg got it with Jeff’s gun! They also had a deer walk right up on them because the deer couldn’t see them in their camo. It sounded so fun and cool! It’s just the best being out in nature like that, and it really has been the perfect fall weather.
Anyway, we ended the trip at Buffalo Wild Wings, and the guys were so happy to refuel after their long, chilly morning of hunting! It was such a fun, relaxing trip, and it was even better because Kevin and Jeff came with us this year!
