Guys I killed my 3rd doe of the season tonight.

Do to personel reasons I am pretty much done hunting for the year. Things have come up that need to be attend too.

Gary

I will keep tabs, I hope to get out in Dec some.

You do what you have to Captn. Take care of yourself or family, whatever it is has to be more important than this contest. I know about those personal things that have to be done.

If you make it back it will be a bonus. We will be thinking about you. Let me know if there is anything I can do. You have my number.

You have my number too Germ. I have time to take yet this year.

Gary,

Same here, I hope everything is ok. Please let us know if we can help out. Like the guys said above, we are all ears if you need something. Hope everything turns out ok on the home front.

Troy

Me too, Cap'n.......and I hope you already knew that. You have my number.

Good luck Captain.

It's just deer - they look pretty on the wall, but they don't laugh, cry, talk, and get mad at you.

I think due to painting 2 rooms in the house this weekend and fixing a toilet and shower that I might get
some hunting in this weekend. The rub is my dad wants me to rifle hunt. [:@] He is sick of tracking
wounded animals. Last weekend, a kid shot with bow a black coyote we had been spotting (must be a
dog/coyote mix) with a great blood trail and guts and they trailed it forever and never found it - so we
are on a real bad streak - frickin palmettos suck. For his sake, I might mix it up. I've got one stand I
could easily bring both a gun and bow - what do you think about that? Ethics police

On a positive, on the corner stand by clover plot, a kid saw a nice 8 point about 75 yards away heading
towards him at dark. Also, dad took my advice and put up a ground blind on a trail in the CRP. On the
cams we got some new (to us) big bucks coming into the big food plot at night - one looks like a
huge bodied 10. Only seeing 6s in the day on cam. Big boys aren't slipping up yet.

I'm trying hard to get myself invited on some local hunts. So far it's not paying off. I also think I
found a good place to hunt for next year - one of my elderly clients has 80 acres that was cut for timber
3 years ago (good regrowth - briars, etc.). The only problem is it is in a rural, redneck, everybody is a
"deer hunter" area - so I will be wearing a ton of hunter's orange and will have to watch my ass.

Man Gary, I saw you were on and was going to rib you for not being in a tree. I was really hoping you got on to posta monster. Hearing that you have had something personal come up is not what I was hoping to hear since it didn't sound real good. I certainly hope everything works itself out and just let me know if I can do anything. I am only a few hours away afterall.

Ok, lets hear from some of you guys and gal who haven't checked in for a while. What have you been up too lately. Hopefully you've been too busy hunting to check in and it's only a matter of time.

We want your stories!!!!
