Archery Season Ends (almost)

Today was the 30th day and I haven't put a sharp stick through anything. One more week left and then I have to compete with the rifle hunters. This morning I actually came close, missed a spike at 25yds. I normally shoot baseball-size groups at that distance and I shot right over him. Buck fever sux but I hope it never goes away.

Wicked Itch turned 50 today. Here the home-defense tool I built for her B-day:


The specs are an 870 express mag, 12ga, 18.5" bbl, collapseable stock, 3-rail forearm with a light.

Almost got a buck last night...

A 1 1/2 year old 4-pt ran out in front of me about 5 miles from home. Someone else probably nailed him after me. Haven't even seen any deer yet from the stand. It's been so damn warm I'm sweating profusely and the rain and yotes have them scattered all over hell. Great sunset last night though.

Had brunch with Wicked's family Sunday at Green Pastures. It was her mom's b-day. They put on an awesome spread. Lotsa good deadstuff. Almost ate some snails by accident; it looked like spinach dip. The frog legs were good but they don't make you run trail any faster. A couple hours later at the hash my nose let me down. I righted when I should have lefted and went about a mile out of my way. The trail was short so I couldn't make up the time and was DFL for the first time in prolly a year yesterday.
