Sweet Memories...

[JC]

When you work too much and don't get to hunt enough...especially when deer season is still in...you spend what moments you can recallin your last hunt.

There's this lil spot in Bammy that brother Don Wilson and his family shared with me back in Nov that I keep slippin back to. While the critters didn't cooperate, it sure does keep me going during the "dark to darks".

 

This lil patch of bottom next to the corn field was like a corner of heaven...sittin there in the stand you just knew God carved every leaf just for that moment at dawn that you got to see the sun reflec off it's frost covered surface.

Then that lil island of wood on Don's buddy's place that was offered as easily as an old rusty penny in his pocket.....

 

Yet it was gold to fellers who count some of their blessings in feather and fur.

 

Sweet memories....the ones that get you through the times when you want to quit and run away. Thanks Don, you'll never know how many times I've replayed those peaceful moments these last few hectic weeks.

Here's to all the sweet memories of all my fellow Tradgang brothers and sisters....may they be the last ones to fade from the halls of our memories....

The best outdoors memories don't all have dead critters in them.

Memories of days in the sun have helped me through more than one "Dark to Dark" and will again I'm sure brother Joe.

JC, we're glad you enjoyed the week-end hunt BUT what about all the great times that we've had at the Coots' farm....The Febuary stump shoots, The antelope burgers that Sky still says is the best on Earth, The Charlie Lamb-IRON BULL Antelope Invitational stump shoot,,,and what about June, when the boys got their own group together and shot a round of 3-d's, Miss Kim's hospitality, and I could go on and on.....It's the very least that we could do and we can't wait til January for an Alabama Re-match      Thanks for the kind words... Tammy and Chloe' say 'yall can come Any time you want!!!  Don and Sky

The first pic is 'DROP-TINE' AND theres now a big scrape just to the left side of the pic...the water has risen and now its' pinched down to about 50 yards wide...Maybe the best stand I've ever had...bunch of ghosts around from the past 21 years.

And I could feel every one of em smilin over my shoulder as the sun came up that morning. It ain't every day a feller can jest reach out an lay his hand on a tree as special as that one. Yes sir...sweet memories indeed.

I'll holler at you this weekend Don, I should have the rest of the wrestling schedules by then and we can plan something.

I enjoyed a beautiful stand at Oconee WMA here in Georgia on a crisp clear morning a few weeks ago.  That was until the rabbit hunters cut their dogs loose about 100 yards away on the next property...so much for a peaceful sunrise.  Shore was purty....tho.  Steve

Some of the SWEETEST Moments are free, if we'll  take advantage of the moment, accepting the GIFT.

Yes SIR Joe, Memories are what feed this fire, from visit to visit.....Thanks for the post and the MEMORIES

Hey Joe,

Been a short yr in the woods for me too.  We lost Jean's Mom a couple weeks ago so not out much lately.  Those memories are what keep us sustained till next time.  Hope to catch up with you and Kim soon.  Put me on your list for a TX bunny hunt if you would.
