Only saw a 6 point buck all day but he came in angleing back behind my tree stand and i wasn't ready. I'm still kicking my self for not having the bow in my hand. here's some pictures of me and the area.

I guess that's the big difference between hunting and buying! Still had allot of fun.

Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston

Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown

And many other firearms :D
