Congrats. :D  Still waiting to bloody my sidekick. Hopefully sat. The guy who cuts my hair, told me to get in touch with him so we can go on his property. I'm going to tell him how much I appreciate it. This will be the first time hunting on private property since I've moved to this cesspool. He asked me if I wanted to get a nice buck. I told him that I want a NICE DEER, doe or buck. Since it's been 2 yrs. since my last deer, I just want a nice brown deer period :mrgreen:  Oh, BTW, I just bought me one of those deer carts. Going to put it together this morning before the wife gets up. :coffee: It costs me 70.00 dollars. that will make getting one out of the woods a lot easier. Tear 'em up again Paul. GET ANOTHER, GET ANOTHER :yeah:
