Brad,

You and your wife do make a good couple. Congrats to your father too. Any buck is a trophy. And as we get older that becomes truer and truer.

Nathan & Scot,

How did the weekend go?

So, I've been following a 2 time per location in the area I'm hunting and decided to give a spot I hunted a previous evening a morning try. total waste of time. I should have went to the oaks that I've left alone since the first weekend. Saturday morning on the way to duck hunting my brother almost ran over a huge buck with drop tines. We rounded a bend in the road and I saw the body first. The deer was easily 200 lbs and the rack was heavy and wide. Shot a few teal and went archery hunting Sat evening. The only thing I saw were about 20 turkeys. The weather was pleasant though. Spent today wiring my brother's new porch instead of hunting. Muzzle-loader season is going to ruin my next 2 weekends at the Ft so I have to either hunt PA or take the 2 weeks off to get prepared for the rut and then take a few days off of work and hunt heavy.

This has been a disappointing year so far with all of the sign I saw in the area I'm hunting and all the sign I see when I'm in the woods. I guess that is why it is called hunting and not shooting.

The good news is that the Gorilla climber I bought is awesome. I was 20' up a tree with no effort at all and in no time at all.
