man these are gonna smell great!

Leanne fried our last catch of fish from the freezer one afternoon, I had just finished cutting grass and Leanne told me to go get a shower while she finished frying the fish....I told her "Let me just smell them a bit longer..." They smelled fantastic....Young and I looked at each other and knew that it was time to catch some more!

We had both been working so hard that it looked like it was not going to happen, but we did squeeze in to very productive July weekend trips.....we brought home 105 the first weekend and 132 the next....5 bags of filets now sit in the freezer...cant wait to smell that grease in the air!!

What a whirlwind!

Turkey season was one of the best that I can remember...I harvested two birds in Mississippi both with 11 1/2" beards one had 1 1/8"spurs and the other had one 3/4" spur missed my third bird last week of the season on a chip shot....wish that I could bore you with the details but I will leave them in my mind! I was extremely lucky and won our NWTF chapter gun raffle that was a Remington Versa Max 12 gauge a $1400 gun for $20. Cheapest gun I ever bought! So that eased my missing pain a bit... Went to South Dakota late May and limited out in a day and half...total of 10 Merriam birds killed...unbelievable trip!

NWTF Convention

Scott Edwards and I travelled to Nashville to be a part of the 2011 NWTF Convention. We had a great time even after we contracted a nasty stomach bug that put us down for a little while! (no more ribs!) We manned the National 4-H Shooting Sports Booth and reached over 600 young people from 19 different states and 2 countries!

We even got a semi surprise visit from Leanne and MA!

New Season New Gun

I found this gun at Gary's back in late January and fell in love with it! It is a Winchester Super X2 12 gauge NWTF edition, and it loves the 3.5" #6 Winchester Extended Range. I put a Claw Sling on it and it is fantastic!

2010-2011 Duck and Deer Feast

The 2010-2011 Duck and Deer Feast was held at the new Long house with 14 attending. A great time was had by all. Good food, fellowship and fun when the door prizes started!

Season Ends

Well it is with sadness and fond memories that I have to report that the 2010-2011 Deer and Duck season is in the books. What a year it was.....talk about an exciting second rifle season....I tagged out on the slickheads in short order. Late duck season proved to be consistent until the end, even though numbers dropped off dramatically. Thanks to everyone that I was able to share it with!

Woodies....(get your mind out of the gutter!)

Special thanks to the woodies for giving us the meat we need!
