sounds good pines!! good luck!! keep us posted!!

rybo, the wind is killin me too...when ive got out this past week or so....


....i knew that rain would keep most everyone out of the woods this morning....it did clear out for the evening...but id venture to imagine that most of the "weekend warriors" found better things to do for the day than chase around the few does that are left with their smoke poles...


im all sorts of pumped up right now....last day or training is tomorrow(for now...not for good) i THINK i got a good spot and plan at school and hopefully 2-3 days to hunt it this week....and finally get to hunt at home this weekend finally!! i sure hope that 4pt half rack doesnt walts on through....id like to hold out....but dont know if i can pass a 2.5yo twice...id just rather kill a 2.5yo with my bow than any deer with my rifle....i'll try to hold out...i really want to...its just gunna be hard...i know if he had both sides i wouldnt think about it....which makes my gut say "quit bein picky and greedy and choosy" but then the other side says WAIT, hold out, the seeking and chasing is gunna fire up...i got a couple spots that seem promising for that time of year, and i dont LEARN by shooting...i'll try my best to hold out...but i might...it will be a trophy to ME and a sense of an accomplishment...we'll see....maybe he wont even come back through

also pumped because i was at training today and my phone rang....

this guy is DONE!!!



quickly seen the taxidermists name (yes hes programmed into my cell! lol) so i had the time and answered...hes done but gotta dry....so hopefully friday or sunday i can pick him up!!! he said hes drying good and quickly so it aughta be ready to go!! (i know some of you may look at him and wonder why on earth someone would mount a buck that size....he was my first bowkill...and my 3rd buck..and my largest...just felt "right" to me...he will always be special to me...no regrets what so ever...im pumped to get him back!!)
