10/10 Evening

I had to be in Gilmer to work Tuesday morning so I went up Monday night and sat in a treestand over a feeder to see what was moving.  I had seen a pig here a few days earlier just driving by.  He showed up again and gave me a perfect quartering away shot and I drilled him.  I was looking forward to making some more pork jerky!  He took it like a beast though and went over 100 yards before I lost the track in some nasty thick stuff in the bottom.  Never recovered him but at least its one less pig on the place.  Also saw a doe, yearling, six pointer, and another unidentified buck.  Great hunt for ETEX!

Stuck at home with the boys

Hunting from the boys' play room since I had some business to wrap up from the week and was stuck at home being Mr. Mom.



Archery Opening Weekend 2011

For the first time ever I shot a deer with my bow on the first morning of the season.  Had a great hunt and saw about 12 different deer.  Got busted trying to draw back a couple times but finally got to full draw and let this one have it!





You can never have enough stand locations so we put together and set-up a couple more tripods.
