this is toughest year i have had in long time hunting.
saw only 3 grouse with my lab.
saw a total of 12 doe and 1 spike buck for 4 weeks of archery i hunted.
4 pheasants.
never saw turkey.
saw 4 bear but all small under 150 pds,saw 350 pd one before season.
i did have funny thing happen, i bought one of those buck deer decoys.
i put it in my yard,it is 8 point.
i put a drop ofdoe urine on it.
about 2 am my lab opened up in home.
i turned on spot light and there was a small spike buck beating the h out of the decoy.
he ripped horns off head of decoy,took his back feet and kicked the decoy in guts.
that was good one.

then to end things, i got LYME DISEASE,you believe that.
i am just starting to feel better after 2 weeks sick..
