I know what would be going through my head...probably the screw in steps in my tree as I passed out and fell out of my stand.

Where's the 40 people to say it was tame, and hand feed apples all year long ????

"The sportsman lives his life vicariously. For he secretly yearns to have lived before, in a simpler time. A time when his love for the land, water, fish and wildlife would be more than just part of his life. It would be his state of mind." -Jim Slinsky Aint that the truth.

for the first week of the ML season, i want cold weather, a bit of snow, and a shot at the big 10pt that i saw during bow season. is that too much to ask for?

It took all season, but it was worth the wait.

Just a quick update. Still no home for Bailey yet. Couple leads this week fell through. One friend of a co-worker looked great because she just lost her ole' timer dog and was feeling lonely, but her job just changed and has to be in Boston a couple times a month so she said maybe down the road when she gets settled in. We do have a local trainer who has volenteered to come to the house once a week for free. Not only to work with Bailey to make sure she is ready for her new owner but to take her out for a few hrs so we can get things done. Have not hunted in 2 weeks. Doesn't look good for opening gun either. Still a bunch of people helping to look so thank you all..

I shot this 8 pointer yesterday morning. It was about 31 yards. I hit him right behind the right shoulder but didn't hit the heart. Somehow the arrow snapped off inside him and made it's way up through the left lung and stuck in the left shoulder blade. Tracking him was a nightmare since we had very heavy snow coming down and he wasn't bleeding well. He ran about 400 yards and started bedding and getting up every 5 yards. Then we found some stumbling tracks which led us to where he died in a small creek. My first buck ever. I'm usually a doe magnet.

I was on the ground hunting the edge of a small secluded field, and it was just before dusk when this guy busted out into the field. He had his face to the ground in-search of a doe. I ranged him at 35 yards, and waited for him to come into my shooting lane. The rest is in the picture. To think I almost didn't go out for the evening hunt. 14 points, Green scored 183 3/8 and dressed out at 210.

Here is a ridge runner taken on letchworth this past weekend. He came in on a scent trail i laid with some pure heat and was taken at 22 yards. This boy has a 30 inch neck weighed in at 198lbs and i figure him to score arond the 125in mark.Has anyone ever had to drag a 198lbs buck out of letchworth...not fun..Then again it must be seeing i keep doing it every year!!!
