Pappy:
Ya I think she is going to work out, I had my doubts back in the fall but now she has seemed to mature a lot over the last few months and has finely decided it is better to mind me than not to. :-\ I always tracked with Red Bones for years and I will say it is a pleasure to have a small dog on the leash instead of one that would pull be around like I was on skis. The regular season ends Sunday here and I hope to get out at least a couple more times this week and weekend. We also have a land owner hunt the 9th -13th for doe only and then a 2 day late youth hunt 14/15th so it is about over for another year. Seems like it just started. ??? This was my 39th year bow hunting only and I can honestly say even though I don't hunt near as hard as I use to it is still one of the great loves of my life. Hope I can do it many more years. ;) :)

BowEd:
Pappy....Man that's a lot of deer clean,but it's goood stuff.I've only done that trifecta stuff once but I've only been shooting a bow since 09.Never shot a compound in my life.Your like the fellas I 3D hunt with.Been shooting bows over 40 years.They've all shot plenty of deer and each year.Each shot a dozen elk and even been to Alaska getting moose and Africa getting kudo,zebra,wart hog,and wildebeest too.All with long bow.I think Gary here did get his moose with a hickory self bow point blank range.They've all made self bows for themselves in the past.Grant was at the first Mo jam in Missouri.
I did see 8 does yesterday from the blind but they were spooky.It was very windy out and I think the Amish across the fence muzzle loader hunting spooked them too although I did not hear a shot.6 more days to bow hunt here.It still intriques me to cut my own wood and make a bow and arrows to get a deer/squirrel/and rabbit.
Pappy:
Headed to stand in a few minutes, clear/ cold 35 and 8 mph NW wind. Front moving in tonight so should be prefect. We will see. ;) Pappy
BowEd:
It's about 10 degrees here with a north wind.Snow coming soon.That'll help with tracking.
Badly Bent:
Congrats to Beau, a late season deer is not easy to come by usually but he is no ordinary hunter judging by the amount of venison he collected this season. I imagine you will have a good natured competition to see who can collect that slam first Pappy, father verses son. :)
Good to see your little tracking hound working out and earning her keep. Thats gotta be fun to watch when she puts her nose to the ground and goes to work. You guys be careful out there.
