Me and Greta, on the last night of season. Sorry for the scare folks,it was very cold,(10 below wind chill)and I was all iced up.

   

Should've killed tonight! Sat on the edge of a rye field,and had deer around me for an hour.Just a bit out of range.Maybe in warmer weather,but with all the cold stiff muscles????? I've been there and done that.I mostly watched.Saw over 20 deer!

Made the mistake of picking up my bow to early.Never got the chance to hang it up again.Finally had to do something,as my fingers were numb stubs!The deer boogered out!

Great way to end the season!

Tim, Nice picture but too cold for me.

You seemed to be handling it good. Looks like you are even having fun.

Scott,

Thanks for the kind words.  Messing around with kids when you're a kid at heart hardly qualifies as anything above playing.

However, what you and your fellow soldiers do, day in and day out, is something that I can only stand up and say "Thank You" for.

You see, without all of you, and those that came generations before you, doing what you're doing, I wouldn't even have the chance to do what I'm doing.

A big thank you has to go out to Bill as well.  He took the time to get one of those boys straightened out a little bit shooting and after that the student was outshooting the teacher.

Well Woodchuck and I went out Saturday roaming the woods around Ti Yogi. Looking for a potential rabbit or squirrel... guess with the cold snap they were smarter than we were and stayed inside! We slipped and slided, crunched ice and frozen snow.. navigated ice and flooded timber... but as woodchuck claimed it was "invigorating" just being out and about. it was cold and snowy.. but sure felt good to be out in the woods w/ bow in hand after the deer season... no pressure just having fun. We did manage to "kill" a few field targets while we were at it! We had a blast.
Someday you and I will take the Great Hart by our own skill alone, and with an arrow. And then the Little Gods of the Woods will chuckle and rub their hands and say, "Look, Brothers. An Archer! The Old Times are not altogether gone!"

This is my hog hunting honey hole here in SC. The pigs have actually become a problem, they wiped out the food plots I planted for the deer and turkeys. I managed to kill 20 this year 16 with a bow and 4 with a gun, but I havent put a dent in them. They've destroyed this hardwood bottom. Almost every piece of dry ground has been rooted up.

Here ia one of the stands where I do my best to eliminate the problem. BTW the feeders do help keep them out of the food plots. So before all the ethics police attack, understand this stand is set up to KILL hogs efficiently. I also trap them, shoot them with firearms, and catch a few with dogs. I enjoy the bowhunting, the rest is more like a chore.

Well...I finally got a hog this year. Man they can be hard to bring down. This pic is me with the little piggie 80 pounds and a trophy for me.

Got it at Shiloh Ranch last weekend.

 

This is a pic of my son Darren (on the left) and his friend Shawn dragging it out. Darren got this one late morning with a ground stalk. Shawn got a 170 pounder, darn big piggy.

Lee,
Sounds like you've got a problem - one I'd be happy to help you solve  :)  . My SC hog hunt'n has been a bust the last two years because of flooding-I hunt some of the public land on the Pee Dee's. Good luck on getting the problem under control and just let me know if you need some help....
LONG LIVE THE LONGBOW!
