Well I got up at 5:30 and made the guys a couple of hot biscuits and a few pieces of sausage.. Then sat around until 6:20 and they all headed out the door. Hubby to his stand and the boy took the 4 wheeler & my lil brother to the top of the mountain. Gonna be one of those days. Already had 4 more 4 wheelers go up through. Wish em all the luck in the world...

Well three went up and one came back  But the one that came back was lil brother ... He had went to the top of the mountain and dropped off to the other side and shot a nice 8 point... and of course if he dropped off a lil farther he would have been up the river about 4 miles. But then he would have had to drag it long way. So He said he started back up the mountain dragging and thought he was going to have a heart attack. drug it for a lil over 1/2 to 3/4 mile back up the hill and accross the top to the 4 wheeler , then thought to himself it's all downhill from here  But it is another 3/4 of a mile down hill ;D He finally made it then came inside could't breathe started sayin he was dying I started laughing cause shoot he is only 32 and in prime condition..... Needless to say he then said I'm done no more hunting this year for me I got mine.... So I went out and took the picture and then he got in his truck and wouldn't you know it the battery died So here we are pushing his truck in the rain , on Ice to back it up enough to where we can jump it off hubbies truck. And lil brother sayin the whole time "Oh yeah this is the way to spend a monday, shoot a deer then drag it almost 2 miles to the house then have to push your truck just to get it started !! " I was laughing so hard thought I was gonna die !!! Got his truck jumped and then he left. So Now ther are just 2 lil indians left on the hill.... ;D  It's a small 8 point nice looking deer tho. He had to shoot it twice, first time he just grazed it then had to track it for about 500 yards to get another shot in... On a side note: The oldest boy called me at 7 am wanting to know if the 4 wheeler was still here Ummm Duh no so then he hangs up... Calls back a half hour later and wants to know if there is any extra gas here.... Ummm Did you pick any up last week ? No.. OK heres your sign.... He hangs up. calls back 1/2 hour later. Um mum can you bring me my gun and hunting clothes, ummm NO ! Told him yesterday to come home cause he would want to hunt today, but he is 21 and don't listen much... He was too busy "having fun" Kids whatcha gonna do wif em?  |

Well second lil indian came home , and he didn't get nuffin.  All he seen was a lil doe, and some red squirrels and birds.... Someone went above him with a 4 wheeler and was shooting so nothing came in... And the third lil indian came rolling in about 20 min. later complaining of cold numb toes... he didn't get nuffin either.... Now it is freezing rain, they might go back out if it stops after while. But they got 2 weeks in which to hunt...  And so the saga continues...... |

Well I could have gotten me a biig deer yesterday ! It came into my feeder out back and it was so big that it just barely could reach the corn... Shoot might have went 60 pounds... My pittbull was bigger than that poor lil thing The youngest ended up so sick yesterday from the rain that he didn't crawl out of bed for most of the day.... Got runny nose, sore throat, the whole works... Hubby braved the rain again yesterday evening but nothin came in . Kinda a bad day to be in the woods. Sounded like world war 3 going on out there! He Didn't go out today going to tomorrow tho. Oldest boy finally showed up and got his gear and went back down the road. he never stays home, Just told hubby I'm gonna call the guy up that he is stayin with and tell him I am gonna go get adoption papers ready and he can adopt him. LOL |
