I wish him all the best in Afghanistan. A nice way to spend a couple of days before shipping off. New a guy when I lived in Macon, GA years ago that deer hunted with a verticle bow and field points, no broadheads, but he only tried head shots. That way he didn't have to blood trail them. Missed a lo...

I thought the original post was about trying to enjoy the outdoors and the experience of hunting while these jerks go around stealing people's stands, blinds, feeders, and so forth.

Good looking deer. Sure you'd rather have had the big one to show off all the way home, but still got a good one. This one will probably eat better anyway. had a monster buck coming straight into me, he got to 15yds where I left the 1st piece of TP the day before that I didnt pickup put his nose on ...

Recieved a PM from someone who is in the know. As it turns out, the poor guy is paraplegic. Don't know why the paper left that out.

For me, hunting and fishing, amoung other outdoor endeavers, are times to get out and away from the everyday bull sht. A time to maybe clear my head and get back to a happy place mentally for a while. And yes, at times it does seem to be a spiritual thing. Other people do things like yoga and so for...

Article in my paper. Blacked out the name. Thought you guys would find this interesting. Most are probably not as "prone to accidents", but please be carefull.

Good luck with the bear and moose hunting. Its been warm here too until yesterday morning, and the bucks were moving good. I didn't get a shot but my buddy got a nice 8.

Good luck with the pickeral fishing too.

A new topic for conversation. I have friends and aquantances that view hunting primary as a trophy sport. Many think it is borderline unethical to shoot a deer that is less than at least 3.5 years old and should really be 4.5 or 5.5. Some really take it to the extreme. Must admit I have been there d...

He probably thought a happy meal was way better than a backstrap if he's like my son.

Hope you gave the kid a backstrap.

They used to do street justice around here too. I've had a lot of friends in law enforcement and have heard plenty of stories. In 2001, a couple of guys were prosecuted for roughing up a convict in my county. Don't want to read about Darrel going to jail.

There are some deer that have a lot of white on them at one place I hunt. Maybe like 1 or 2 percent. Have heard them called piebald. Most of the time they are pretty scrawny looking. Never seen a black deer though.

Congrats on getting your first deer. Looks like a good one. About the only thing special about my first deer was that my dad was there to share it with me. 33 years later, remember it like it was 5 minutes ago though.

Good looking deer. Glad I'm not the only one that second guesses my shot after the deer makes off. Your deer sure are bigger-bodied that what I'm used to in Florida.

Had a friend from high school I haven't seen in years that lost his right eye and had to learn to shoot left handed. He seemed to do fine with it. I never heard him complain. Was a very good V-bow hunter too.
