From the stand
mullet:
Great pictures and nice deer, Beau. I spent the weekend in the Swamp and it was great, no mosquitos. The deer haven't gone into Rut yet but our season goes till the end of January. A friend of mine had the chain break on his API climber while he was 20' in the air. He had just turned to face the tree to hook his harness when it broke. He landed flat on his back. Phone service is none to spotty in the swamp so he was on his own. He walked 3/4 mile out and drove himself to the Hospital in Orlando. Five cracked vertebrae, and a cracked sternum. So, myself and a couple of friends have spent two days trying to find his stand to bring out. Getting correct directions from someone on morphine sucks when the Mngt. Area is 46,000 acres.

Lordy that's quite a deadly fall!!!.He's lucky but sure he does'nt feel that way right now.He'll need a bunch of rest.Hope things heal up good for him.
Good luck getting a shot.

Ya Clint I think you may be right, even though I still have a chance this year, ;) and he don't. Ed I have done that many times, the TwinOaks slam you have to kill a spike/3/4/5/6/7/8 + and a doe. Of course not all the same year but it keeps going until some one does. I have needed a 7 point to finish for 4 years now. :) I was really proud of Sister , she picked up on the trail before we even showed her where the deer was standing and once she hit it she never missed a beat, made the loop and right to it. She acted like she has been doing it for years. She done good on the first 3 but this one I think she has finely got it. :)
