That is a dandy fish!!! Thanks for the pic.

What was on the business end of the line?, its hard to tell from the weather channel are you guys above normal for temps this year? My furnace isn't complaining but it makes for a lot of work can't let them hang in 50 degree temps. Usually if it's border line temps I can hang them in the smoke house, not this year!

Man that is a brute, he's got some mass!!! I take it your buck season is over

Thanks to all, the reason he's hanging so dumb is that when Robert insisted he do the dirty work for me is I have to tag the deer before it moves, but we pulled him out of the water first then Robert did his thing, I can't bend down like that, we had, "they" had to drag him through the mud and Robert wanted to wash the cavity clean, I thought at first what the hell are you doing, that's how we do beef he said. After he hung there, I went home to get my daughters IPAD because it's the only thing I know how to post pics. I still have the old flip phone. Thanks again guys for once a plan worked, but to be honest that's their travel rout for water, but they don't go back up, they go down to the winery and cross its a lot more level, they don't like to go that way during the day light they would need to run down the road a 100 yards or more, so we hoped and it worked!!!

Today it was just my uncle and I, there are a lot of little pieces of woods that the bigger gangs won't bother with. We usually hit these small areas Friday of the first week and the same on the last week, the last little patch my uncle he would start at the top. The only bad thing is there is no where to stand, there is only a little road then a steep bank then I have relation that his farm buts up against. So we decided to stand on Roberts land and hope the deer cross the road and down a very steep bank cross the stream to where I would be standing. About 30 minutes I heard the hoofs on the blacktop then I heard the shale falling soon I started to see breaks in the shining through the trees, then I heard the water splashing soon I saw horns. I thought man this must be a nice one. So I stayed behind a big tree and motionless as the doe's already went through I thought he might double back, but then I heard splashing I knew it was hoofs on the rocks but it was up from where the doe's came across, which is good I could shoot with no problems, he stopped in the middle of the stream nose in the air and looking back I pushed the safety off and he fell in the middle of the stream which is high from all the rain. I waited till Skip yelled "WELL" he's a nice one drive down to Roberts barn, I went to go get my truck and the girls IPAD so I could take a picture not the best pic. He's a 9 pointer with 18" inside the rack 19 3/4 outside. Here's a few pics

Well all good things must end, Congrats to your year, lot of info not to mention a good year for pics. I want to wish you a safe trip to and fro, also on the water. Hope to see some fish pics or a couple of words letting us know how your doing. I wish you a banner year again!! I hope you get as many world records as last year. Good luck, be safe, but have fun also!! See Ya in the spring. PAP.

Yea Dan your right, I forgot now they have remotes and a number pads. That was a George Carlin joke, let me explain the car son, the round key ya,ya, you know the rest LOL. TGIF!!!

Is that like the square key don't fit in the trunk and the round key don't go in the ignition???

Nice job Gino, you certainly have a few!!

Really cool reading about the "old school" ways! I wouldn't give up my pressure cookers, I can use less of a cut of meat and the cooker turns it into tender no knifes required to eat pieces of meat. Great read fella's!!

Congrats to your day and catch Bob along with a very happy younger angler!! Great to see lake shots at this time of the year!!!
