Mark ....I would love to come out .... unfortunately, I am poor and not retired

Tony, wealth is not measured by the amount of worldly goods you amass while here, but by how long and how fondly you are remembered after you are gone. Therefore, you are NOT poor.

I love you too, Bro

BUT........ financially speaking, I am poor

the good news is, the recent moves I have made with the house I sold and the one I bought ... things are looking up!!! Bigtime!! I am hoping to travel a bit next season andhunt withsome guys who have extended invitations to me ......

Well, I believe that when I see it!!! You would NEVER come out here, 'cause once you've walked in the Bible Belt where the deer are big, you'd never go back home!

well, there are a few guys like you, Mobo and MOTOWN that I WILL hunt those big deer with .... then another where the deer run a little smaller ... NC ...GMATT ..... Poorman only lives like 5 hours from me, so I am hoping to hook up with him for a shoot this summer, that is if he stops bustin' my chops [>:]

"Set another plate Honey! Preacher's coming for dinner!"

why is everything south of the dam no hunting

I setup a sanctuary for the deer. I do not go on that land south of the dam on the west side of the pond other than to cut the fire lanes once a month. The deer feel and are safe there and thus the amount of deer I am seeing on the rest of the property is increasing. Deer sanctuary areas are important to properly managing property IMHO.
