I went out Saturday morning because it was Ohio Fall turkey opener and didn't see any turkeys. As I was sneaking through the beans I walked right up to a MOSTER 1/2 rack 10 point, Mr. High Five as we call him @ 30yds, had a 5 minute standoff then he sprang away. Can't say I blame him, I was shaking like a leaf. 20 minutes later, dropped down over the hill to set up my climber to a small 6 pointer headed straight at me at 60 yards, 15 minute stand off until he cleared out at a slow stroll. Got up the tree and settled in and here he comes again but nothing shy of 50 yds and no shot path...
Then here comes a decent doe that danced around from 36-55 yds and never gave a shot, during her little display of annoyance my cell phone is going vibration crazy getting phone calls, and text messages from the neighborhood people looking for me because the sheriffs dept. is looking all over for me, I said I have permission to be out on this farm and I'm legal as all get out. Here it is to inform me that my sister had passed. What a day... Things are gloomy now but there is light at the other end of this tunnel... I hadn't spoken to her in a very long time because of some things she had done and I am very sorry for that. Nothing should ever come between family. I now see that, but it unfortunetly is too damn late... Sorry to spread my troubles here, just needed to get it out... Good luck everybody, you people are great, haven't been here long but I feel very welcome... Do me one favor, call someone you haven't spoken to in a while if you can...
The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea, they are given into your hands. Gen 9:2
