Maybe it's the hat..........
« on: November 10, 2013, 04:41:00 PM »
A while back I was gifted a hat from Adkmountainken. I never used it, don't know why. This year I took it to Missouri on my deer hunt....saw some deer and had it on when I missed a legal AR deer. Had it on the other day while I center punched a hickory sapling in front of a does vitals.....never saw the tree...lol! Now many of you know how often I see deer, let alone get a shot. This morning I did a 3 1/2 hour sit and saw doe and her yearling, then a nice 4 point that was come'n nicely but changed his mind. I had the same hat on. That hat belonged to Chris Surtees......I think I'll wear it all the time!!

Ron, sounds like your new hat has got some Mojo.
I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

Good post Ron ... it's good to keep guys like Chris in our minds, I have one of his arrows and a hat in my man cave from a Solana hunt.
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good

I would be wearing it hunting for sure,but I don't know about all the time.  For sure not driving.
