I haven't heard of a sweeter hunting situation that what you have! Now I feel like Suz.

Geez Joe do you ever eat beef?

My son got another 6 point today.

We didn't weight it but best guess is around 170 lbs. Its a nice one again.

3 for the family freezer! You're not rubbing it in are you?

Not at all, but remember these are nice northern deer.

I have 3 more days to hunt and don't have to work, there will be two of us out in the morning and six of us the rest of the weekend. Hopefully there will be a few more to fall yet.

WOW Joe that's awesome...almost as good as I have it...no tags, no season 24-7-365.

Just wish I had the money to go out every weekend.

Cheers, Vince

work sure gets in the way of good hunting time too aye Vince...

Wiersy, is that the trick? New camo? Does your deer like red eyes and green fingers?
Or do you just attrack them with the Browning sign?

But: I don't have such a son nor such a buck, so tumbs up!

Yep...true mate...its the reason my shooting buddy and I don't get out very often...he has to work.

Although, to be totally honest mate, I would love to have some sort of a job. The extra income would be a blessing, but no one is interested in employing a burnt out worn old ex soldier...especially one of my age.

Cheers, Vince

I was hoping you wouldn't catch my trade secrets.

Vince you should become a military consultant or something. i have an interview for a job running Tank simulators for a government contractor. Starting pay$25 an hour, that would be great pay for this area.

Best Wishes, wiersy!

I am with Slim Wiersay...all the best with the job mate. Sounds like a great job, and $25 an hour is pretty darn good money given the current economical situation.

There are some jobs like that going out here...mainly in the WETS Indoor Ranges, but they are pretty much "jobs for the boys" jobs...unless you were one of the clique, you don't get a look in for them.

Cheers, Vince

$25 per hour is good pay anywhere these days..........good luck !!!

BEST TO YA WIERSAY!!!!!

Yest it is .. Good Luck

I feel like I've had the season of a lifetime and its only opening day here in Missouri. As I was walking in I spooked 4 it was too dark to see much but tails. It was extremely windy this morning and I felt like I was being blown out of the tree so after 2 hrs I climbed down and heard my buddy shoot, He got a nice buck and we dressed him he said his stand was behind a hill and not as windy so I went to his 5 min after I sat down a mature doe ran from right to left about 200 yards out at top speed, just watched her go. another 5 min and the exact same thing happens. another 5 min and a huge buck with a great rack does the same thing, as I'm starting to wonder if I have a knack for being in the wrong place at right time another mature doe goes but stop in front of me long enough for a shot bang-flop. I was thinking about getting down when a nice buck (not monster status) was coming straight at me at a trot I let him get within 50 yrds and bang flopped him with a shot to the throat. wow! when I looked at my watch I had been in that stand less then half an hour. Exciting no wall hangers but still goes down as one of the funnest opening days I ever had.
