Good luck with Faith Gerardo. I hope you see twice as many deer as I did but I hope they all are at 20 yards or closer without twigs in between blocking your arrow  :thumbsup:

Gerardo,

When I get home I'll run a track on the # provided by the PO.

And BTW folks, my USPS took me for a ride on this shipping. I insured it for $500 and del confirmation. (not a shipping store but the good ol USPS main office in Asheboro, NC 27203)

Almost $39.

The previous shipper sent it to me for less than $17.

I have to say, even so, this was worth it having participated in this pass around.

Look out lefties come auction time!!

Well, I just got home from my last hunt with Hope and it was somewhat bittersweet. I stuck a big 'ol boar Thursday evening but hit him a little high, only got about 7" penetration, and never found a single drop of blood. Needless to say, I never found the boar either. I got a call in to longarrow to get him Hope today or tomorrow.

I had a great time with Hope and will definitly be considereing bidding on her (if I don't already own one of these bows by then).

Thank you South for creating such a great bow for such a great cause.

Gerardo, I hope you get a shot at that old 14 pointer with Faith and will be checking in to see the pics.

See y'all later,

Bisch

I know that big one is roaming the woods, and I haven't gone hunting, because it will be a lot of temptation to shoot him if he comes around so , my next time out hunting will be with FAITH

thanks

Well, since I've picked up "Hope" from Bisch, it's rain on/off again. In this part of the country you NEVER conplain about the rain. As "Daddy" use to say..."the guy who hates the rain, has never had to do without it" Got Hope dailed in and will put to the test week. Looking for a doe/spike or a Hog. Will try to keep you posted!!

This weekend was going to be special, my mind was focused on hunting and I expected some time for myself.

With two toddlers at home and a 3 month old baby. Peace and quiet are appreciated more than ever.

Sharp broadheads on my arrows and a beautiful FAITH by my hand I drove friday morning to our hunting ground.

A cold front was entering from the north and this helps the rut , which for us generally starts in the last few days of December and the first days of January

I had previously prepared a ground blind , and this location was going to be the perfect place , where the north front hits you in the face and in front there is a big hill where bucks and does usually travel. A lot of visibility for me to check out the woods and have an opportunity to shoot.
