I had a young buck hit the oats right at dark. Right side was snapped off clean at the base.....Longhunter, jolly good show. In for pics.

Took awhile to get home, not to good a picture... Oh well, biologist toothed him at 6.5, I enjoyed the hunt...

Here is a shot of the bucks before he showed up...

Here is a twelve point I shot opening weekend... Now a couple doe and I'm done.

Great job Mel, very nice bucks !!

Thanks ole friend, hope you and yours have a blessed Christmas. Its been too long since I have heard from you...

Congrats!!!

Good grief. Whackin' and stackin', I love it. Great job, Longhunter.

Right on! Congrats.

That's a heckuva season Longhunter, congratulations!

Awesome

Nice one, congratulations.

Dang it's early to be in the stand. You gonna take a nap before you slaughter an unsuspecting doe?

05:30 is late for me.

Well I’m running late but headed that way. Had to get the queen situated with her coffee first.

Naw, I'm done till after Christmas, just checkin to see if anyone else was gonna try to punch a tag...

Wifypoo has already pilfered my last set of antlers...

Settled in and quiet, beat the feeder by two minutes and legal light by 10. Not good but I’m here.

Good luck! I’m out until after Christmas.

Ditto. 'Hope the weather turns real nasty. And then I will go..."Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more..."

(Again, when bumping up against the martini limit, it's bad Spanish, or --- Shakespeare.)

Same here plan to start back Thursday evening or Friday morning

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
So wouldn’t you know
I’m out at the ranch
But the hunting is slow.

The feeders were filled
The corn it was spread
With visions of a buck
With 10 points on it’s head.

Asleep in my bed
I hear such a clatter
What in the hell…
Is making that splatter.

I turn on the light
And open the door
It’s raining like hell
And all over the floor!

Morning is here I’m dressed and well fed
Hot coffee and biscuits I no longer feel dead.
I stumble in the dark in search of my blind
Where wind and rain is just what I find.

No rain gear
No gloves
No face mask that’s odd.
That’s just my luck as I climb my…. TRIPOD.

Now I sit and I wait
For something to see.
Ohhh boy Ohhh boy
I REALLY gotta pee!

For hours I sit
I’m drenched to the skin.
No bucks and no does
It’s happened again.

No problem I say
And smile with a grin
Lunch and a drink
And we’ll do’er again.


I’ll call you folks later
When this is all done.
And wish you a Merry Christmas
That was just too much fun.

MERRY CHRISTMAS Y’ALL
