Congrats to Bob and Hatchet on the taking of deer with a bow. Congrats to Kard for getting some meat for the freezer the expensive way. Sorry to hear it messed up your truck some. Always better to hit the deer then take the ditch.

Jen thanks for the info on the dryer sheets. My wife will be happier if I don't use them. Always good to keep her happy. What a rush that is to have a deer that close. The doe I got last weekend came in with 2 fawns (I think they were with the other doe in the group) and they were right under my stand. Boy does that get the heart pumping. I have to think you will get more chances this season. Just keep at it. Who knows you could even get some meat like KK did.[:@]

Well I sat in what seemed like a WI hurricane Friday night. Went out Saturday morning and saw nothing but at least it was 28 degrees. You could hear the skeeters poping. Looks like I won't have to deal with them much anymore. I had to come back for homecoming pictures of my kids Saturday night. I will be posting some of them on the website this week if the girls parents say it is ok. I will be heading out again this weekend. I am trying to work it out to get the last week of October off plus a good part of the first 2 weeks of November. We have a 4 day gun season here from Oct. 28-31.[:'(] It really messes up the rut to have all that lead flying around. I may hunt with the gun some but mostly just bow. Only problem is I have to wear orange during the gun season.

I'll check back later. Thanks everyone for keeping us all updated on how things are going.
