It's Coming

Duck season is getting closer. I'm starting to see more and more people down at the club finishing things up around their blinds and putting out their decoys. One day this week were supposed to make a ton of decoy weights for my boss's decoys. were gonna melt down lead and put it in muffinpans tomake the wieghts. I guess there is only one month left until duck season opens on thanksgiving. I bet that makes some familys mad because i know people go hunting instead of eating with the family

Finally stuck one

Last Thursday ifinally hada nice sized doe get close  enough for a shot. I had deer infront of me since about 4:45 but I never had a big enough one close enough. Bambi kept walking right up to my tree but all the bigger ones kept hanging back just out of range. Finally right before dark, 7 does took a trail that would put them at 11 yards. When the first doe, which was also one of the bigger ones, got to where i could stick her, I sent a rage broadhead through her lungs. She went about 50 yards before fallin over. The blood trail was awesome. It literally looked like someone ran down the trail with a bucket of red paint whcih made it easy to follow since she fell out of sight. She ended up weighing 116 and we got 47 pounds of meat off of her for sausage or burger.... yum

work

well this past week i had to go take care of something down at the duck club. the grass on the levis needed to be mowed so i mowed most of it also i had to mow some holes infront of the blind. this seemed crazy to me when my boss told me it because the water is 2-3 feet deep out infront of some of the blinds. so i did hat i was told and took the tractor at there. i had to go stupid slow but i didnt get stuck and the grass got cut. now hopefully come thanksgiving the hunters will kill some birds there. then i backed into a tree and bent up an arm on he mower so i had to go take it apart and weld a plate on it to support it but i think i got it fixed

stuff

well I've been wanting a chocolate lab to train to find shed antlers and i finally got one. I went and got her thursday night. Mom thought i was joking when i told her i was going to get a puppy so she was kind of mad when i brought her home but she'll get over it. Also deer season is here !!! so far no kills but im sure within the next week or two ill stick at least one doe
