We found the decoy

So tonight we wanted to send Forrest off in style since he is moving to Provo tomorrow morning. We started by kidnapping him and going on a ride on the Lake Creek to Center Creek loop. On our way down the Center Creek side, our headlights hit a rather large velvet buck. We stopped to admire, and then, since he wasn't moving at all, began to debate rather heatedly whether he was real or not. We were pretty sure he wasn't, so Forrest decided to get out and make sure. We snapped pictures, and laughed really hard as he spun its head around.
As he came back to the car, we saw four flashlights coming up to the truck. We thought it was angry hunters. Instead it was national wildlife officers asking what we were doing, what Forrest had done to the decoy, and whether or not we had guns or alcohol. Pretty soon they realized we were just a bunch of ridiculous kids out on a drive and we all had a good laugh that we continued as we drove home.
Yep! That was the kick off of Forrest's going away party. Pretty sure we couldn't have planned it any better!
