Life is good

[Pappy]

Great weekend, went down on Thursday and pretty much had the whole day to myself , so I decided to get the 2 bows I plan on hunting with set up for broad head, go a dozen arrows for each bow tuned and ready for the opening. Then Friday and Saturday most of the days were spent cutting 2 big Trees leaning toward the pavilion , a big double Maple and a big Hack berry, had some good help and got it all cut and most cleaned up and ready for the fire pit. We also set up our shooting tower we use for practice and up dated our little practice range. We have the 27th White tail Classic next weekend and combines with opening weekend, we got the ranges set with 18 deer and 2 Turkey. That is always fun. Come see us next Saturday if you are in the area. Here are a few pictures of the fun. A limb bow I am working on, got it down to a ring. Bill and I also pulled a big red oak that had fallen across the drive and got it cut up for fire wood early in the week. Man can't have to much fire wood, especially around there.

Don up the tree putting a rope up high, then we set my tractor up above so we can pull it away from the buildings, worked like a champ, but was pretty tense until we seen it on the ground, the tree died this spring and you just never know what one might do when it is dead.

On the ground and nothing torn up, big relief for all of us. Now for the clean up, we had to move our little range and also cut a few smaller trees that were in the way before we fell the big one. Don works for Nashville elect so he is a handy member to have around. We are really Blessed in our little club to have some really talented people that don't mind work and helping when they are called on. and of course Bill loves running a chain saw so that is a big plus.

Jon took some time to make a couple strings and Brandon and Dan done a little shooting in between hauling out the logs and cutting them up. We still have a few left to cut and split but they are beside the wood pile so Bill and I will do that this week most likely.

After getting the big maple out we cut a large Hack Berry, it went well also[no buildings smashed] except in split up the middle, I was planning on using it for bow wood any way so it worked out good. Got the log sealed and ready for drying. That's it for the weekend. Hope yall had a good one also. Life is Good.

I try and stay busy Bob, BJ. Headed that way in a little while to cut some of that stuff up and get it in the wood pile. Deer season is right around the corner so need to get a few things done before it starts. Hope it cools down in the next few weeks, supposed to be in the mid 90's all this week and dry. We really need some rain right now.
