Hey, guys. I just got home a few hours ago from a 12 day hunting excursion to Kentucky and Missouri.

I shot an 8 point Wednesday evening in Carter County, Missouri (Mark Twain National Forest). Since I was hunting alone on public land, am colorblind and the overnight low was supposed to be 23 degrees I waited until Thursday morning (when my brother was supposed to arrive) to look for him.

One nice thing about this trip is that when my brother showed up he was the first person I'd seen in three days. How cool is that?

Anyway, I found him after 20 minutes of looking, and yes I found him myself.

I haven't scored him yet and to be honest, he won't score that high, especially with a broken off left G3. Maybe 100" or 110"? I sent Curtis a pic. Maybe he can guess 'cause I suck at guessing scores. I shoot what I like when I see it.

All I know is that I'm extremely happy to break this curse I've been under when I have my bow in my hands.

I'll post more details and pics later when I'm not on an iMac. I can't believe how tired I am right now. Let's put it this way: I'm going to work tomorrow and I have to get up at 5:00 am and that will be "sleeping in" compared to the past 12 days.
