First-light Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 There is a house in my neighborhood that has a coupe of full body deer targets in the yard. On my jog Sunday morning the owner of the house was outside doing some gardening so it stopped by on my way back. Did the introductions and found out he hunts up near Monticello but didn't hunt last year cause of health issues. He is probably around 70. We talked about the neighborhood our families and out plans for the afternoon. I was going to my brothers house to shoot bow and to have some venison. He was very jealous to say the least. (he can no longer shoot bow but is thinking about a crossbow). On my way out I had to stop buy and drop off some packages of tenderloin for him, its been two years since his last taste of venison. Well you think I gave him 5 pounds of gold. He and his wife were so happy, it really made me feel good that I could share last years harvest and now have a new friend!! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landtracdeerhunter Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 That was a very nice thing to do. That is lacking in today society. More people need to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doewhacker Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 You fell victim to a trick, that was steve863 in an old man costume. Me and him do that all the time. JK, I like to meet old guys like that, they always have either a story or important advice for us youngsters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
