Quick,

You hit the nail on the head in that first paragraph in regards to children. I have always known you're a bright fella, just by reading your posts...I commend you forthe line of work your doing..helping others in need..Teaching as your Fiancee is doing..is very rewarding work...I definately find myself thinking and strategizing creative ways to paint a healthy picture of huntingto the non hunters and anti hunters. The two maingripes I hear about hunting is, the "KILL/CAVEMAN persona and the MOCHO...ego thing...which drives manypeople away. Especially those that really don't know a lot about hunting. I have been able to make some great relationships and use teaching of many character traits through hunting...Hunting is such a powerful and positive tool for kids if used wisely....I teach 8th grade health and weights/outdoor recas of right now. Iget to teach archery in myoutdoor class! cool eh???I have a couple degrees, one in Kinesiology and the other a minor in Biology. I have been teaching for (going on) 11 years now. I have taught bio and life science as well in the past and was for 7 years a football coach, 5 of those a head coach and loved it dearly but didn't like sacrificing my hunting time for football, and football at the H.S. level is a 365 day a year job these days if you want to be competative...so I hung that up for myfamily when I got married and forhunting purposes as well. My wife was a D-1 volleyball head assistant at SMS and hung it all up to...for rasing a family ...she now teaches two doors down from me...math at the 7th grade level.....I also have my own business... Pottenger Property Enhancement... I log and put in food plots for private land owners. I started this 5 years ago and it's kept me very busy outside of teaching. and last I am the KING of fragmented sentences as you can see... SHHHH

Spotlighting is illegal here Quick unless you get a permit for yotes...I felt this buck was around..I just hadnt seen him and I have been spendingthe majority of my time hunting thole yeller area...Igot this buck 15 miles from the ole yeller area..The bases are in the high fours...4 6/8s on the right side and 4 and change....I can't remember off the top of my head exactlyon the other..I have a score card at home..sorry...

He ended up almost exact in inches on each side even though his configuration is different....the right side is basically a bigger 5x mainframe with a 1 1/8 inch 6th...while the left is a little shorter and less massive with a LONG extra 6th point.. he tallied 74 7/8's on his left...and 75 1/8 on his right... add in an 18 2/8ths inside..and you get the 168 2/8ths...gross..
