Hey guys, thanks for all the b-day wishes, I have been busy lately and haven't had a whole lot of time to get on here. I did have a pretty good birthday, nothing special, just worked and came home to my favorite meal (chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, and gravy) and relaxed.

I didn't realize that MD had deer like that, I am very impressed.I am in the same boat as Gr8, I have never seen or heard of that buck, that thing has to set some records or be at the top.

Congrats on the good fortune Gr8, hope you can carry that luck over into the season.

Well, I won't bore you all with a lot of details, but I am in the process of moving and having my work schedule changed. I moved to SE Okla. 2 years ago b/c of my job. Now they have switched me to a 14 days on, 14 days off rotation, as opposed to the regular Monday thru Friday. That allows the wife and I to move back closer to the central part of the state, where we are both from. So now.....we are looking for a house and will be moving before the end of the year. Rest assured, I will definately get my time in on the stand and still make my hunt that I drew in for. This has its adv. and disadv.......advantages: I will have 14 days off to hunt, scout, whatever I please, and be able to live closer to home where my hunting grounds are. Disadvantages: I will be busy looking at houses and moving, the days I will be working might be prime time, and I won't be able to hunt while I am working.

So......bear with me guys, there might be times when I won't get on here as much as usual b/cI have a lot on my plate right now. But likeI said earlier, I WILL find time to get in the stand.
