Now there's a couple of great animals, and even better friends.  
Congratulations Doug!  You had all the excuse a guy could need to just stay home.  Great lesson for us all not to let excuses ruin anything.

I had a horse accident back in March that severely tore my rotator cuff.  I am still recovering and can shoot 30#.  I will think of your progress and perserverance as I continue to recover.

That is awesome Doug!!! Just goes to show with some good friends and some tenacity and perserverance anything is possible. Congrats on having such good buddies and on a couple fine critters!  :thumbsup:
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Doug,

Thats great! Sometime they do come easy.  Just bring the tractor up!

Really...the question is what are you going bruse, rip, tear, tweak, break for next year?
