RE: Official Team "Double X" (20)
Fellas - Hope all is going well on your end of the wires.
AR - that buck in the picture is an absolute Hog. Cheers to you getting a look at him through the sights. That thing looks like something out of Whitetail Magazine. Yowsers.
Rybo - I know what you're saying - I've been out 2 mornings this week in WV, and I keep seeing the same 2 spikes. It's like they gravitate toward my tree, and every other deer in the free world won't come near it. Sooner or later that paddle-horned 8 pointer will come back, and when he does, arrows shall be flung. The youngsters have been pretty rambunctious lately. Also, it looks like the Ohio hunt will not be going down, b/c I haven't saved enough money yet for this wedding next year, and my old lady is sweatin' me about it. Women...
William - Hang in there buddy, it sounds like your neck of the woods is home to some good deer, so be patient. It does seem a little slow for the first week of November. It's been unseasonably warm here (except for one freak snowstorm), and the foliage is still heavy. Probably all contributing to a later rut, perhaps.
Sum - Work comes before play. It gets frustrating when you feel like you're constantly working, but the business world doesn't brake for the rut. You'll get out there soon enough. Good luck
Troy - Have youhad a chance to getout lately? If so, what particular game animal/weaponare the flavors of choice? I'm very unfamiliar with theregs out there - are youallowed to take your second buck with a bow, or isita rifle only tag? Like the rest of these guys, I'd really like to come out there and show you how to elk hunt sometime : ) BUT, time constraints, budget constraints, wedding coming up - too much on the plate. Maybe in a year or two, ifthe offer doesn't expire by then.
In other news- Penn State plays Wisconsin this weekend for the Big Ten title atBeaver Stadium. Should be a wild one. If you guys aren't in your treestands, you should tune in (3:30 ET). I'll be coming home early for that one, it's PSU's biggest game in 6 years. A BCSbid is on the line. I was unable to score tickets.
