HiFidelity - anytime you are here i gotta extra stand for ya
Bobcat - i'd never waste a dollar bill by shooting it, my wife's book tuition was over 2 grand this fall!! the pics did turn out good didn't they?? i was more pleased than anyone could imagine.
Pupster - a tease? tease this:
Rudd - thanx for all the help with the pictures, they look phenomenal, i only wish i could've got these pics in before the calendars were printed...talk about a great candidate for the cover!!
ironwood - deadeye couldn't get me with the stooge move, i'm too quick for him

huskerbuck - stay indoors? no way, there's still coyote hunting and shedding coming up this winter!! a little pain ( and in my case this year, a lot of pain) doesn't hurt anyone!!
all4s - glad ya like the pirate pic, it was a good idea, you just gotta love hunting bucks on the ground!!
moosehunter - don't be too impressed, even the sun shines on a dogs butt once in awhile!!
sp69 - a snow globe eh?? hmmmm....maybe that could be the next thing on the iowawhitetail store!!
CentralIowa - there's no way that the snowflakes could've covered my head at the time of the pictuer taking!! it was a bit swollen!!
huskerinbadgerland - snwoball in my face eh?? we'll see, you're going down at the next rendezvous in the euchre game...or at the very least the owl hooting contest. hoo hoo hoo hhoooooooawwwwh!!
OneCam - don't you remember?? i bought the lucky hat AFTER i killed the duck!! thankx for saving me one, it was the best $12 i've ever spent!!
too all the rest, thanks again, i've had an unbelieveable year, unfortunately it's over!! the eye is healing nicely, i can even read the computer screen now!! like 'Bonker said about his deer i feel like the past few deer i've taken in the past couple years are more community deer than anything. i've learned and more and matured more as a hunter in the past 2 years then i ever imagined.
thanks again!!
one last thanks to deadeye, it was a great season for us and i cherish every moment we were in the tree together. too bad that i couldn't rattle in a deer larger than 30 inches for us!! thansk for taking the pics and can't wait for turkey season!!!
how about one more look? i finally got my computer running a little smoother.

Ok my story - what a weekend. Went to work at 6:30 pm Sat night. Got off at 7am Sunday morning and drove 50 miles to get home. Called Muddy and woke him up. Lets go - he came down and it started snowing when he got to my place. We went out for a walk that am. Didn't have any luck. That evening we decided that we would do some still hunting and pushes. I didn't dress to sit for hours. He was going to walk a couple draws to me. I waited patiently, then started to freeze my butt off. 4 does came by and I thought he was getting close. Nope... Awhile later I finally hear a boom. Then 5 does come bolting by. Didn't shoot because I thought a buck or something wounded may be coming. Nothing. Then I see Muddy grinning ear to ear.
Monday morning I had some extremely bad luck. First doe I shoot at was about 30 yards - second safety on the Knight works well. Then had a shot at a deer in a field and missed by about 6 feet low at under 100 yards. Missed another doe low at under 50 yards. Enough. Went home and grabbed dad's Encore. After running Muddy to the eye doc we went back out. We still hunted side by side for the walk he made the evening before. We got to about 20 yards from where he shot the buck and we saw the first deer. It was a doe. After a short stalk and a long wait for a clear shot the Encore rang out. Yepper - right down the bluff she goes. She was down by the time we ran the 40 yards to the end of the bluff. Thanks to a friend and his 4 wheeler we got her out.
After cleaning my gun dad and I bore sighted it and it was off quite a ways. Will have to investigate and shoot that more. Has a Leupold scope so don't know what happened.
I don't have any battle wounds to show or even a pic as far as that goes. Just some sore muscles and some meat for a friend. Oh yeah and the MEMORIES!!!
Muddy - no problem taking pic's or you to the doc just glad the eye is gonna be ok. Glad we actually got to hunt together again. Thank you for helping get mine out and cutting it up.
Wish I could have been able to hunt more. I had high hopes at bagging a biggen with the smokepole. Did my part taking out a nice doe though. Just have to shed hunt and wait until turkey season.

Muddy: Love the symmetry in that last pic. About as even as you could hope for. Good job! I scratched a cornea out in the field once too and it's the pits trying to navigate back ... was also my shooting eye.
Thanks for your story too, Deadeye. I haven't stuck a scope on the smokepole yet ... guess I trust open sights with two tags filled. Hope to make that three on Saturday.

yeah, i think so. photo session was cut off due to snow, my dad's lack of patience, and deadeyes fiingers must've been getting cold. now that i see how the pics are turning out i wish i had taken him out the next day and snapped off a bunch more or another couple dozen that night. oh well, photo shop may be able to help.
