Eat, sleep, and hunt like a wildman!

It will add years to your life, and memories keep with you forever.

Congrats and enjoy.

I hate you, O My Brother...  :mad:   :knothead:  
Didn't even get to hunt a half day today, dang dog cut her foot yesterday evening so I came home early to let the vet suture it.

Enjoy, Kenny. Those three weeks are what it takes to really do it up right. One week to unwind, one week to truly hunt, last week to get your head adjusted to going back to work, and to the "civilized" world. I am truly happy that you can do this this year.

And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Hey Ken! Best wishes and good luck. I hope you fill all your tags man!

Several years ago I had the 1st three weeks of November off. Hunted all but a couple days. I DIDNT EVEN TAKE ONE SHOT! It was still a helluva lot better than goin to work.

Good luck Ken, I'm going to hunt every day that I can. Won't be the whole season but it will be a good share of it, leave that smoke pole in the rack and christen that stick of yours right   :thumbsup:
