Ryan, William's right - get off your lazy bum and start scouting. Go door-to-door and find us some new hunting spots for next year, because I need to get outta Greene County. I can't deal with that anymore. I'm getting too old and cranky.

Troy - you're right chief - we're in Q4, and it's high time team XX steps up and wins this thing. I know you're itchin' to pull the trigger. You've got deer for everyone else, now it's time to get one for yourself. Nothing much nicer than those quiet icy winter days - big blanket of snow. I checked my logs last night - it's been since 2003 since I killed a deer in the snow. It just never seems to snow here anymore in deer season. ...and by second season archery, I'm always out of tags.

William, I think it's only a matter of time before you're tagged out.Congrats on the big doe - that's a WHOPPER! I bet you're pretty amped up for christmas - Carlie is daddy's girl, I'm guessing? LOL Always seems to work out that way. She's finally entering the age where you can really start having fun with her. By the way - you can't be passing up 8 pointers this late! You just can't. It violates Team XX rules. Just kiddin man.

So are any of you guys doing anything extra special this year for xmas? Kelly and I are still paying off the wedding, so there's nothing extravagant in the works. Maybe next year we'll try to go somewhere or something. If she behaves, maybe I'll consent to the mutt.
