Yes Congrats to Sister & Brother, both taking Fine deer, and Special Congratulations to their Awesome father for laying out the ground work and making it all come together, Beautiful picture's and story . This is what keeps our Family Tradition of hunting alive and well .,Cheers!!!.

Thank you for the kind words.

My wife and I were talking in the blind this year and we agreed that deer season in our family is easily one of the top 5 holidays. The only time we miss hunting is for sports. Our son had some success as a football and baseball player in high school and college, and now our daughter is getting busy playing too.

For reference, this is my wife's deer from 2021(boat paddle Ruger .25-06 120gr Nosler Partition factory load), our son's first buck in 2012(same Weatherby Vanguard .243(100gr Nosler Partition factory load) that our daughter used this year - forgot the tongue for pictures!), and a 2010 COLD hunt(.54 cal Thompson Thunderhawk 100 grains Pyrodex under 240 gr saboted Hornady xtp). Very blessed to have made these memories.

Thank You.

Are you North or South of Highway 70?

We all thought numbers were down. My uncle who lives in the Northern part of the county said he observed and heard the same. I didn't look at the deer check in book at the We-Mart to see how many pages were filled this year. Whenever it's real dry, disease can hit that area pretty hard. Our land is about 3 miles East of the Cedar. Our water sources are stock tanks, puddles, and a spring.

We get excited every year when the cold finally hits. That's when the dating starts!
