Hard to keep a good man down...with a little help from your friends! After all you've been through this must be extra sweet.

Well Doug Congrats on taking two fine animals, inspite of the obvious. But I will say like the Angel told George Bailey(Jimmy Stewart) in It's A Wonderful Life, No man is a failure as long as he have friends. You have a great friend.

Outstanding my friend! Deserving of an invite to go snook fishing! The knives you made me are serving me well.

Congratulations Doug!!
 I'm sorry to hear you are hurt. Hope you heal soon!
 I had a good bear hunt in Ontario and the Dr thought I needed to have some surgery myself so I'm hoping to be on the mend by the time things get going good here in MO?
 Things just dont seem to heal as fast as they did a few short years ago do they?
 Once again, Congratulations!!

Thanks gang, appreciate the feedback. Considering the fires, weather and my luck with being around 1200 pound critters lately I feel real fortunate. Feeling some better now, nearing that magic four week mark that seems to be when busted ribs let you get back in the game. Unfortunately I've had more than my fair share of experience in this field.

Best to all!

Nice animals though!!

Those were some good hunts Doug. Sorry about the problems but I have had shoulder problems and haven't been able to shoot for 3-4 months. I guess the age is trying to catch me. Haven't built any bows for a few years. May have to drop a few lbs. on my bow to get to use it? Horses will hurt you, didn't your Dad tell you this?    :biglaugh:

Congrats Doug on a fine few animals there.  I'm glad you made it with all the trouble you've had with some the animals youve been working with.
