Vance, We will give you a call when we get back from hunting.

My morning hunt was pretty slow only saw a few turkeys that busted me. There was a nice brand new scrape under the tree stand though with some real nice tracks in it, He worked it over pretty good.

On to the DB blind late morning, I don't know what it is but them turkeys are giving Curt a trouble. Sorry to say the video is a little blurry, My bad but the one of him chasing the tree rat is so funny.

The evening hunt was a little better with 6 turkeys at 30 yards but a coon came running down the hill and spooked them and himself. He ran up the tree next to me. Later I had seven does come by at thirty yards headed down Curts way,Fun night.

Just got back from a deer hunt of my own with the world's dumbest bowhunter... apologies to Maggie's "Dumb Bunch".

Saw a lot of deer and not a doe in the bunch. Passed several "substandard" bucks and nothing close in the turkey department.

Wish I could make it up to see you guys, but things have just gotten to busy around here with Georgia coming up and the need to finish the St.Jude's Sunbear.
Hope you all understand.... can't think of anywhere I'd rather be than out there with you all!  

[K.S.TRAPPER]

Charlie, We totally understand bud....to be honest I couldn't believe you were actually thinking about it as busy as you are with hunting and stuff.  I'll see ya soon enough my friend! Hopefully Tracy will get the priveledge of shaking your hand soon also. You'll really like him Charlie, he's a "good'un"!

This morning was slow as far as deer went(for me). But while still in my stand I once again managed to call in and miss another turkey!! Man there kickin' my butt!!  I'm sure getting to be the subject for a lot of comic relief for Tracy!
Did see 2 coons at daybreak also....

Tracy had a good morning that included a pretty good buck(you'll see video soon with the help of Vance).He wasn't a KS giant,but boy he's a great buck, with long tines and great mass. I'd be proud to bring him back to NY with me!!!

We did find a nice tree that might give us a chance at him(or another buck).Keep your fingers crossed for me.....

We've got alot of pix and video to catch up on soon....

We're very much looking forward to Vance's arrival!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, now I officially hate turkeys!!!!!!!!!!!

No really..I HATE TURKEYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Sat the DB this afternoon after getting another stand up in a great spot where Tracy saw the big 7 pt this morning. Wind wasn't good to hunt it and we disturbed it a bit. So we decided to sit the two blinds. I sat the DB, Tracy sat in his blind about 200yds away.

 Wasn't in the blind very long when I heard some yelping up on the hill behind me. I yelped and kee-kee'd a couple times and she answered back... Game-on!

She called and I called as she closed in, and then I could see her and her friend,another hen. I was telling myself the whole time to just relax and get this done. They came in and started to pick around. She quartered away at about 7yds and I picked a spot and shot....right over her back......AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I could do nothing but laugh and do a self interview for Tracy's entertainment(we'll get it posted soon).

 I did have a shot at a button buck...but I wanted a mature doe, but she never came in....

 Another great night in the blind...well except for my shooting......I hang my head.......

High hopes for the morning. It's gonna be about the coolest night since I've been here. Should be in the 40's in the morning......hope for a N,NW wind......

Doug, Pullin' for ya bud!!

[K.S.TRAPPER]

This is the day, I have a feeling. The weather has changed here in the midwest and skys are blue. Saw deer out in the fields around here late morning. They are gonna move this evening. Get em Curt.

[K.S.TRAPPER]

It was a good day and Curt should be on here soon, Him and Vance are working on some video clips and pictures to post.

Oh yeah, Vance got to help with a blood trail today
