Things have been really slow with deer this year but Saturday evening it finely came together. Shot a nice 75 lb doe at about 12 yards, was beginning to think it wasn't going to happen again this year but as they say Zero to Hero in just a matter of seconds and that's just the way it happened. I was using my old faithful Osage /spruce shafts with wild Turkey feathers and Ace 160 head. Hit her a little back but it all worked out. Hope yall had a good one also.  :)

Congratulations on the deer.  Do you put deer jaws in your fish tank?  I've used some creative decor in my aquariums but that's a new one on me.

Yep WB, 1 for each one of my grand kids with their names inscribed on them also a couple of leg bones and some cool fossil rocks out of our creek. Not sure why but I love my fish and caring for them, they come up and eat right out of my hand, like I tell the guys "don't take much to entertain me"  ;) :) :) Now for a full day, got 2 deer to skin and bone and 1 already boned and ready to cut up/process and package, be tired by this evening.  :)

Yeah, fish can get tame.  I've got some huge angelfish that follow me around like puppies when I'm working in their tank. 

The bluegills in the pond at our old place would take grasshoppers right out of Katie's hand.  It was fun, and they weren't too much of a challenge to catch.  Our friends used to bring their toddlers over to catch their first fish.   ;D
