OK......got my Mega and Powerball tickets in hand. All I gotta do is match six little numbers, and we're off! There are at least a half dozen guys from here that would be going with us! Wouldn't that be epic? Ah...... a dollar and a dream.........smile.

Got a couple things keeping me close to home for the next few weeks. But mid 18? Hmmmmmm..... now ya got me thinkin! Would my 270 be enough gun?

I miss the SOS in the mess hall, for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Mmmm ummm good!

Go to Africa to hunt with Dinsdale! All on me of course. ........smile.

Cool looking for sure! Everything I've read about this rifle has been really good. A real long distance tack driver, able to hold its own against rifles many times it's cost. Is the glass included with this one? If so, tell us more about it. This could be a sweet long range song dog gun!

I don't know what they are. I do know that unless you are 100% sure, leave em alone. Thats why I pick mine at the market.

Feels ok. Still some pain while drawing. Ice pack on right after shooting. Last time shooting, shot 9 and over did it. Couldn't draw my bow after that until yesterday. My PT said, all my hard work is really helping! I'm doing very well for my age and the surgery I had, along with some other stuff. "But don't over do it, shoot with your head, not your heart". He's been really awesome to work with! And it's so true, make the first one count. Every time! Good thing, cause that may be all I have!......lol Just want to thank you again my friend, and to many others here too. For all the encouragement and pep talks, right from day one after surgery. You have no idea how much it helped and motivated me. You guys are awesome!

First time shooting since July 30th. Second time since surgery. Been working hard at PT after some discomfort from last shooting. First arrow 25 yards.Last two same distance. That was it, only three arrows for now. Need to shoot using my head and not my heart. First one I'm happy with. I'll be ok! ......Big Smile......

I think Pygmy has influenced a bunch of us! And not necessarily in a bad way............grin. Clawed up signpost trees, tracks around ponds and swamps, dug out stumps, scat, hair on fence posts and wire. We have all that, and some bears. Been bears hear for a long time. Numbers are increasing every year. A couple of big ones too! Still haven't decided if I really want to shoot one yet. But a definite maybe???

Awesome six point! Love a mature six!

Owch! Hope ya feel better and it is not broke. If it is, I can come over to re-set it! I learned how to do it watching The Three Stooges....................grin.

I don't know if I will ever get past letting a nice 3 year old walk, in our area of 4-H. Though we do have a couple 4+ year old bucks this year, on one of our properties. I will try to hold out for one of them this year. But a chip shot on a nice 3 year old is almost too tempting!

Yes, and one of the best books I've ever read. Movie wasn't too bad either. Perfect 10 days to take off my friend!

Though she has never hunted a day in her life, my wife is my biggest supporter when it comes to my hunting! She has bought a lot of my gear and equipment, because I didn't want to spend the money on myself. Has helped with years of land and tax payments. And puts up with me and all the time I spend in the woods. She has had a part in every deer I've killed over the last 35 years. Think I got a keeper. .....smile.

All together, between weekends, holidays, and vacation days, I'll hunt close to 40 days total, for deer.

Doing pretty good with your new bow! Have fun shooting and you'll be more than ready, come October 1st!

I'm fortunate to have two separate properties in the same general area, (seven miles apart). For the most part one is usually better for daytime movement than the other. One heats up, the other slows down. After a few years you kinda figure out when, to be where. Very rarely are they both showing the same action, at the same time. And sometimes they are both slow. That's when I'll hit some close by state land. Nice to have options!

US Army - 74 to 76.

Promising indeed! Good luck and have fun chasing them around this fall!

Holy smokes look at them brow tines! That is an absolute monster buck! Let me clean the drool off my tablet, before going to bed, and dreaming of seeing a buck like that on our property. Really hope ya get a crack at him this fall.

Nice Job! Looks fantastic! Luna starting to get antsy yet?

Welcome! Look forward to hearing more from you! Just pull up a seat and join right in anytime!

This your home property? If it is, be patient. Bucks may be hanging in that big swamp below you, staying cool. I personally know of a couple nice ones spotted not far from you, within the last two or three weeks! Come hunting season, I think you will be fine buddy.

Gentle On My Mind, was always my favorite song from Glen. I remember years ago, working a gig somewhere and playing that song. I looked out to see my Mom smiling and moving to the music. A good memory. Thanks Glen. RIP.

Great job on an awesome buck! Now you can start thinking about this years buck!
