Congratulations! That's great that the twins are so excited. Job well done!

RE: The monkey is off my back!
 

I've been keeping up with your saga for awhile now and I have very much enjoyed it. I good ending to a long season, wouldn't you say Taz? I can't wait to here your 'saga' next year. I'll name it, "The Bowhunt Continues". Next year is your year to get one with a bow. No doubt about it. Congrats on your buck. You deserved it.

RE: The monkey is off my back!
 

johnny saga is not the word for it, this year seemed like the never ending story..... more deer seen, some of the biggest bucks I have ever seen, dogs, spooked deer, deer out of range during bow, one missed bow shot due to me missing my anchor point,one spooked 8 point due to a low hanging limb with dry leaves that I rustled with my bow, one monster buck missed at 100 yards due to 2 stupid little 1/4 inch leafless saplings that deflected the shot, the farmer shooting at geese on his pond right at the magic hour. I have put in over 100 hours just hunting. I am not counting scouting time. I will enjoy this little buck, but man it sure seems like I deserved better, maybe this is a build up for next season. I have killed a lot more deer and far larger bucks over the years and put forth a lot less effort than I did for this little guy. Do not get me wrong I still thank the little buck and the Lord for my harvest, but man I sure busted my rear getting him.

RE: The monkey is off my back!
 

Congrats Taz...nice story, nice ending. I used to love to hunt in fresh snow. It really does something to you senses. The quiet, crisp air, and white blanket. You can't beat it!

RE: The monkey is off my back!
 

TAZ, remind me which caliber you shoot with.
Drop-n-Flops are the best kills.

Keep 'em all in the Bull.

RE: The monkey is off my back!
 

Bulzeye I shot him with a 30-30 150 grain core loks! Finger hole in, 3 fingers out! Knocked him flat at 45 yards, he didn't even kick! Both his lungs were mush and all the arteries to the heart were mush also, I was amazed the heart did not even look bruised.
