My 1st night on stand. Started out pretty hot with a big old boar hog coming in cautiously. He was really jumpy and kept spooking out of range. And then all of a sudden he gave me my signature hard quartering away shot, but only for a second. I came to full draw undetected, picked a spot and watched him turn head on.

         I let down and waited for another opportunity that never came. It got dark and the truck came before I could get another chance. I did come away with this sunset burned into memory. It'll do for now. Little did I know, a whole lot more was yet to come.

Gregg,  Congrats!!!! 2 deer in 2 sits is amazing.  Both great deer and a beauty of buck.

Randy, sorry about the deaf buck but great recovery!    A sweet looking buck.

Rob, Glad you were able to fulfill your deer desires ont the trip.  I had the 'yote do the same thing to me on the only buck I had the opportunity and desire to draw on.  Dang em!  

Great stories all.

Even better....using pigs and rabbits as a warm up.Rob must have left a good impression,naming roads after him and all.The smile on his face said it all.

As far as calling him "snookie" weeeell I doin,t know him well enough to be throwing that around!

Congrats to all the hunters,hope Tx was good to you.

Gregg I just looked at the picture of the little spike buck and remember the conversation we had about it.

We were looking at the pictures on Jacks computer. Jack saw that one and asked quickly. Was your cammera quiet enough he didnt hear it.

Gregg responds. Nope he was GONE.

  :biglaugh:  

Thats how wired these deer are.

I"m still catching up on a lot of things here....but yes, we had a last minute cancellation and that allowed Charlie Lamb to join us.  Always a pleasure to have Charlie in camp....always.

Great Buck Randy!!!!!  It would be a great pleasure watching a dog work that trail.

Rob - same to you Sir.  Glad to see you back in the saddle, and based on that smile, it must feel pretty good!

Towards the end of the hunt we went to a different section and looked at one stand that I thought provided shots that were too far for me so we went to the next one. A beautiful tripod stuck in the middle of a tree with an opening to the feeder and a closer slot off to the left where my guide Gary dropped some corn in a swath moving away from me. I could see a 150 yards in front on the road we came in on. Settled in and waited...
