RE: Finally Got Him

Yes, this was my first time ever even scouting this location. I had asked for the Lord's Favor on my hunting which I think helped the most. The saplings in the area were literally torn up, with a couple of fresh scrapes thrown in the mix. It was just one of those times when everything fell into place. I took him to the taxidermist last night.

Awesome y2k. Congrats to ya. I ask only out of curiousity, why the 20 year drought? Kids, work? That's a great story and a great buck.

Well after the kids grew up, we got out of the hunting club we were in, it just got too expensive. We also moved which made the trip to the camp much longer and more expensive. This actually turned out to be a hunting blessing though it took me 8 years to realize it. Now I can hunt 15 minutes from the house all be it on public land and no out of state license fees, no more weekends away from home and church which is important to me. Must keep the priorities correct. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the season now. I may even do some turkey hunting in the spring. Sure been seeing a lot of them.
