I got my first kill in this year but my wife has kept me working all day cleaning and moving around the bedroom. Sounds like fun now doesn't it. I drank beer though while doing it so it wasn't all that bad after all.[:D]

Believe nothing that you hear and only one half of what you see!!

Tada, I'm here to brighten things for you Ben. Woulda logged on last night, but we kept the ladies nephew so between him, her, and the dog I had a headache, drank to much beer, and spent some of the evening hanging up a deer. [:0] Oh yeah, you will not believe the size of this thing. I am guessing it is a year or two old. Here's what happened, I didn't go out until late in the evening. Around 4:15 I parked my truck, put on my carhartt bibs/coat and my fleece facemask (all the clothes I use when riding 4-wheelers in the cold). Then I headed down to a point where two sections of woods meet in a large hay field, picked me a nice round bale of hay to lean against and stood there facing the wind and those to sections of woods 15 yards away. It was almost time to go when I seen a group of 6 deer working their way towards me so I waited and waited, finally it was really dark but they were about to come out into the field. Our hunting ends 1/2 hour after dusk, this was after that, but I wasn't actually "hunting" they were already there so I didn't need to go "hunting" for them (make sense, I thought it did [^] ) 1, 2, 3, 4, then 5 come out in front of me never seen the 6th, but I drew and started comparing each one then arrowed one of the bigger does [:D] Did you think this was a buck story? [:D][:D] Soon as I shot her I heard a deep low sucking sound then tried figuring out where she went, the others had run off. I walked to where she had been standing and I almost tripped, she had dropped in her tracks. I double lunged her and figure the noise I heard was her lungs filling with blood once I opened her up. So today I'm gonna quarter her and put those in the beer fridge for a few days. I think I'll leave her in quarters and use them for roasting on the grill or to bury in a hole, good excuse for a party. [;)]
Hope this livens things up for you Ben. I debated with myself all day yesterday about standing in the cold for a doe, but decided to anyway. [:D]

Hi, guys! I'll probably put my foot in it, because to you, my life here is probably pretty boring! Yesterday I went for a long walk in a desecrated cemetary. Some fun, eh? If you step into an open grave, you can really be in for a surprise! Cows graize there mostly now. Anyway, I go there to get away from the noise and traffic of the big city. It is nothing but country for a couple of miles in this particular cemetary. Anyway, there are lots of trees and so on there. I've yet to see any wild critters there. Just too much city on all sides of it. I guess I could go hunting grave robbers. It makes me mad to see that people would dig up the graves of the dead to steal gold teeth and maybe a little jewelry. I guess that's another legacy of the old Soviet Union. I have noticed that sometimes they won't dig up the graves of WW II vets if they have Azerbaijani names. But they will dig up Georgians, Russians and Armenians. Lots of tombstones have sort of "tintype" photos on them. It is amazing how many Soviet soldiers were in their teens, some as young as 16 years old. Most folks here don't live past their 50's.

I can hardly wait until we can move out of here and into the countryside where their are ducks, bear, wolf, fox and jackal to hunt. I'm still making rivercane arrows to add to the wooden and metal ones I've got already. I want to study how accurate the cane arrows are and what sighting adjustments I will have to make.

I don't use "pins" and so on for sighting, just practice and remembering. Maybe I'll need to change the way I do things, I don't know.

Anyway, I enjoy reading your banter back and forth. Sounds like lots of you guys know each other pretty well! We'll see how the winter develops for me and maybe eventually I'll have something interesting to report! I'm going to the USA (North Carolina) for Christmas and New Years.

In case I don't get a chance to say it later, Merry Christmas to you all. Please be safe and don't drink and drive or do anything else dumb that will get you killed or hurt, OK?

Peace and Joy to you all!

Do no harm.

I think I remember correctly BakuMax that Fred Bear never used anything for sighting,called Instinctive Shooting.I hunted that way for maybe 5 years.He claimed that to be the best way.Kind of like throwing a baseball and instinctivly knowing at a quick look as to how hard to throw it.

Don't know anybody that hunts or target shoots this way nowadays.

Yep I'm back too! Only been back in town 30 min. and had to check the board. My weekend was not as productive but I did see more than ENOS just the only one that presented a shot was a buck and I have my buck tags filled for the year so I was doe hunting. I think he was genetically challanged and I really wanted to shoot him just for management but couldn't. I don't know if it shows in the pic but I thought he had some fairly tall spikes. I passed on the "dog" unliked ENOS[:D]. Just kidding he has been taking some
s@#t from us all weekend for one thing or another I guess I should let him be now. Anyway I saw one Sat. morning 7 Sat. evening and only one this morning.

That's my story and I'm stickin to it
I almost forgot, it was really muddy down there at deer/beer camp it was a good thing we took my DODGE, ENOSs chevy never would have made it.

You know I added that just for you Susp![:)] [;)] And it is true that a dodge has not been stuck out there yet...Ford and Chevy have. On the other hand I'm sure it is just a matter of time[:(].
