    This dude showed up overnight after a two week vacation. Got us motivated to go out this morning when we wouldn't have otherwise. I don't much appreciate it now having underdressed and pert near froze my tig & giggleberries off for nothin.

    Glad he's still kickin anyway, or was. Heard a shot across the road this morning then another follow up. :scratch:

    Finished the firearms season with one last doe, on the last day, to top off the freezer.

    Had a great season. Wife hunted her first season and had an encounter with a nice buck. Adult son also wanted to hunt this year, his first. He took a nice doe on opening morning.

    Wife is now wanting a crossbow to extend her season next year. I am truly blessed!

    My buddy and I were hunting at my place on Saturday. Buck walked by and didn't really give me a good shot. Grunted and it turned to look at me so I wheezed and it. Ignored me completely but walked close enough to my buddy that he shot it. It weighted 160, but was an 11 pointer which we found a little odd. Seemed young. He shot it with a 308. Double lung and skimmed the top of the heart. It was his 1st deer and he was ecstatic to say the least.

    Franklin county had lowest numbers in 9 years. Except for last year, numbers were less than half of normal harvest. EHD and no does killed this year. Lets hope for a recovery.
