Well folks, after a long couple years of some bad luck, I finally put a nice one on the ground this morning.
Congratulations on breaking the bad luck streak. You did it in great fashion.

That's a great looking buck!! I couldn't be happier for you. It's even more sweet to connect after going through dry spell, I know all about that.

LOL

I WISH I got to hunt, hunt, hunt! Unfortunately this isn't our full time gig so I'm just like everyone else. Most of my hunting is done on the weekends, and using my vacation time. I sneak out early or maybe come in an hour late about once a week during Oct/Nov and that's it.

I've got a Canon GL-2 camcorder taking up most of the room in my backpack. Plus a bunch of other crap I probably don't need.

Thanks a lot guys - its great to see hunters supporting hunters. Hopefully I can get another one this weekend during my trip to WI.

Oh and the blood trail was out of this world. Check this out.
