JAG,
That Is one big Buck!!!!!! VERY NICE!

I had a pretty crazy day today. Got out to the stand early (this stand is only about a mile from where that big muley was photo'd), and had absolutely nuthin' come thru...

Climbed down out of the stand at about 10:30 and made the way back to my truck. Threw my gear in the truck and climbed in and it wouldnt start...batteries were dead.

Oh well, guess I'm walkin...so I started the hike down towards the highway, about 5 miles on the GPS, so I'm guessing about 6 or better by way of the road. I really figured that I would see another hunter or someone on the road on the way out to get a jumpstart from (i had jumper cables in my toolbox). Saw noone but 2 dirtbike riders on my way out....ugh! Anyways, it takes me about an hour and a half while scooting along at a pretty good clip to get down to the highway, and once I get there, nobody will pull over to help me out! I guess I probably did look a little bit like a psycho, all camo'd up, with my bow, and a pistol and hunting knife on my belt!

So after an HOUR of standing down at the road trying to flag people down, a lady finally stops and agrees to give me a jump start. I think she was starting to get a bit nervous with me in the car about 3 or so miles into the woods...I assured her it was only another mile or so by showing her my pickups location on the GPS....LOL, she got a kick outta that.

I finally made it home a little after 2:00 in the afternoon, and I only live about 15 mins or so away from where I was hunting. What a long day, I'm ready for bed!

Don't let it get ya down Jag, us bowhunters are, if nothing else persistant. They guys at the cabin wonder how the heck I can sit n a tree for 150 hours last season and not shoot anything.[8D]

I'm slammed tomorrow, daughter has a soccer game in the morning and then I have a business meeting around noon. After that we are loading up and going on a family camping trip, but I'm packing my gear and plan to sneak out of the tent while everyone else is sleeping and make a hunt sunday morning. Of course it is an area that i have never hunted or scouted before, but it's the Oregon wilderness so there has to be some deer runnin around out there!

Still raining Oak??? Good luck and be safe if you manage to get out today!
