Gosh, I miss Twin Oaks.     Looking forward to our reunion next spring.         
 You made a good show for your family.     I'm sure they all loved seeing the family farm and how you've maintained it.

Looks like a great time, Pappy.   First glance at that picture with the deer target and the bouncy house, I thought those two diagonal lines (guy wire attachments, I'm guessing?) were arrows flying toward the target, and I thought, "Man, what an amazing picture!"  ha ha

[Pappy]

No that target staves there all the time, I set it out years ago to take a practice shot from the porch before I head out to hunt but blue birds built a nest in its neck so I just leave it there all the time now,been there for years now.i put a sigh around its next when I have an event to keep people from shooting it.😯 Pappy

Great few days at the cabin, got some hunting in and also some shop work, been working on knives a lot lately so stayed busy with that among  a few other things. Few pictures. My girls loving it, they know I am there for a while when I get the fire going. Working on a stand for my latest knife, deer antler and deer toe knuckle bone, I like to use different stuff for the stop, get lot of questions about what it is and fun having people guess.

Bill showed up to melt some wheel weights, a friend in the tire business gave me a bunch so Bill worked them up, he make a lot of modern bullets and said they work great for that. Also finished my holey hide, it had a big spot in the middle of the back that just would not take brains, it stayed like wet rawhide,   Had another one or two do that before but this is the first in a long time, hate when that happens.  I took the un tanned part out and finished the rest out, it will make some good project hide, the rest of it turned out great, good and soft . Sally like it for her new brain tanned coat and the hole worked out prefect.

I've been on a knife kick too. Here's my latest neck knife.

[Pappy]

Then Monday morning deer down, 131 lb 6 point, now I am really getting busy. I took him with the bow I built in 2012 for my Gator hunt with Eddie in FL. Good shooting bow, like and old friend.

Beautiful Glenn, way prettier that what I do for sure, by the way GO TITANS ,  Now to skin and take care of the meat, and back to my knives, working on another neck knife, man can't have to many of them. Will killed a nice 4 point Monday also, self bow kill.

[Pappy]

Knife stand finished and a little hide work, The streaks I put in the hair side really let it dry quicker when the weather in kind of damp. Then back to the woods Tuesday morning, took a 7 point, now I am bucked out but still plenty to hunt, the limit on doe in great in Tennessee.

[Pappy]

This in out TwinOaks Grand slam board, you have to kill a doe spike/3/4/5/6/7 and 8 plus to when, I have won it twice and now down to a 5 and 6 point but that will have to wait till next year  Brain tanned sheath all roughted in and putting a handle on a blade a friend gave me, deer leg bone, I got plenty of them.
