Was informed that a grandchild, and her live-in bf, and their baby are coming to live with us for a few months.
I could have handled the news better . . . . . . . .    ::)

Good Luck KNoll! My soon to be 28 yo son and his kids have been with us for the last year and a half. He got accepted for a house and is just waiting on his financier (not me) for help with the payments. Soon back to a quiet house!

Tn M/L season opened today. My other passion aside from selfbows is flintlocks. I made this rifle from a block of wood and a pile of parts, it has never let me down. Got this 7 point with it this morning.

Nice smoke pole buck Eric.  Should get some good meat from that one. 


Today I found a huge hedge apple while helping my brother in law look for a doe that he shot.  I normally see them softball size.  This one was closer to to volley ball size.  It was massive.  This picture doesn't do it justice.  We spent two hours looking for the doe and only found one spec of blood.  He hit the shoulder blade.

Took the daughter on her first deer hunt this morning.  We have a ground blind set up in a fallen osage tree.  About an hour into the hunt a doe jogged in and stopped in front of us. We were getting ready for the shot when she looked behind her and took off again. I thought maybe a buck would be coming down the trail behind her but it turned out to be a big bobcat. It walked the trail in front of us less than 20 yards away. I've been hunting for 23 years and that is the first time I've seen one in the woods. My daughter got to see one her first time out. I was glad to share that moment with her. It didn't take long for the excitement to pass though. We are heading back out tonight in the same spot.

Even a nap in the woods is better than a day at work!

Good job on the doe Bill.  Not every deer in the freezer has to be put there with a stick and a string.  I know some of mine aren't  ;)
