Geeeeez Troy, we were gonna send out a search party for you pretty soon. I sure hope you can close the distance on that big 4 X 5. Man that would be fun to see deer, bear and elk all on the same sit in a stand. What kind of temps. are you hunting in right now?

Just got my ASAT blind today. It is raining outside so I might have to set it up in the basement tonight. Gonna give that a try some this year.


Well my boss may have changed my plans a little. We have to work some overtime. I gotta stay an extre 4 hours 2 nights a week and 2 hours on another night. So I won't be on here as much either. Why does this always seem to happen just when I want to start hunting? Don't know how long this will last, hopefully just a couple weeks.We have a couple of machines that are broken down. And we are going to need them for a new job coming up. So we have to get them running again. I had planned on hunting most nights after work once the season starts on the 15th here in MO. Got some descent bucks around here 120-140 and there might be a few surprises thrown in too. Then when IL starts on Oct. 1, I usually spend one day of the weekend up there and maybe both if things look real promising. Some real nice bucks running around up there. One might push 170, I just got a quick look at him a couple weeks ago. I think he is a big 10 pt with split tines or some stickers.
