Good to hear from you

I wore that damn LSU hat to ohio this last weekend, I almost died[8D]

Troy,

My wife is being quite the big lady about it and trying to keep her word, but uhh, I do value my marriage.

I have a 5 week old and a 19 month old! Leaving this last weekend was hard on her. When I got home my
19 month old got instantly excited, then she started pouting and wouldn't look me in the eyes or give me a
kiss or hug. It was too funny. I think she was showing me she was upset I was gone a couple days. [8D]
She snapped out of it after about a minute.

Anyway, it's probably not fair to any other potential takers for me to deliberate any longer,
I will talk it over with the wife pretty good tonite. I was really looking forward to it. Not just for bear,
but seeing an incredible part of the country I've never been to.

Germ, that's awesome about da hat. I bet you had a lot of explaining to do. Your team didn't do so bad
either. Y'all looked a lot better than the suckeyes! Well, they won one for the gipper. Saw where
Mallet is going to ArKansas. Great, that's just what we need in the SEC West = more talent. Alabama has
a top 3 recruiting class as well. Ahh, well, whatever doesn't kill makes you stronger and that's why LSU
bounced back so well in the big game. They are used to the competition!

Well, it's about like old days here with the posting, but have to get back to my work.

I had to go U of M hospital, I forgot I had that Damn LSU hat on A pregnant lady disd the hat[8D] I am rarley at a lost for words, butI had no come back[&:]

How bout I hope the fruit of your loins marries a coonass from Louisiana! That ought to scare any
Michiganite mother to be.

Hey Will, glad to hear you are still out in the field and had some action. Maybe you can sneak away from those 2 yuggins another time or or two yet this season and get one down.

It sounds like you will be a busy man for a while with 2 in diapers and trying to build a house too.You need a clone, man.

Well the ohio hunt was good. I need to get out there. I plan on going next week also.

How cold it was. I bring two hats, one to walk to the stand with and one to waer while hunting. I took th one off after walking to my stand. I wipe my head and went to put it back in my pack. The rim was frozen[&:]

BBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Take this guy with you!

This place is a ghost town!

Last weekend sucked - saw one doe.

Of course the weekend before (when I couldn't go) my dad got another 8 point and my brother wounded
a big buck but couldn't recover him (second chance he blew this season). My dad is rubbing in his 2 8's
pretty good. FYI, they aren't our biggest on cam (have 3 bigger deer), but they were both at least
3.5 years and one scored 98 (215 lb and 19" spread with no damn tine length) and the other 103 (210 lb),
so it was nice to see our work paying off.

The rut is now over and they are all pressured up, but I will be back out (hopefully) for some final
bowhunting the weekend of Feb. 7th. It will be after 2 weeks of no gunshots and 4 wheelers, so I'm
optimistic about the hail mary.

Just taking a doe with the bow will redeem this not so great (considering my effort) season.

It sucks that our team wasn't in the running cause I'm competitive, and it pisses me off that I
didn't contribute, but I've enjoyed being on this Team.

Yeah we had them pretty stirred up for a while at the beginning. But like you said it was a fun team to be a part of. I know I had a good time this year. And I think our team thread set a record for # of posts.We also seem to have lost a bunch of guys and a lady in the middle of the season. Not really sure what happened there, but it was really rude of them.[:'(]

Good luck on your last minute efforts, Will. You never know it just might pay off big for ya.
