Good to hear that Jimmy,yep you will be back just in time,the weather is starting to cool a bit and the tobacco barn smoke is rolling so you know it's fall in Tennessee.  :) :) Shouldn't take you long to get ready,heck just grab what you used last year. ;) :) :)

Got all 4 of my food plots planted yesterday,if the rain comes like they say and the Turkeys stay out of them,  :-\they should be good ones. :) Also got something I never like but happens sometimes, I made a bow for my buddy Kevin in MI. Well it popped a splinter a couple of inches out of the bottom fad. Got the skins off yesterday and started the repair,super glued the pop up,wrapped with sinew and then plan on thin backing of rawhide,it had just a couple of funny little swirls in the grain that I guess I missed when I made it or thought it wouldn't give any trouble,hope this will work but either way I am starting another for him,just love to have this one going for his hunting season , I think the 1st of Oct. and then get the other to him when I can. Hate it when that happens,especially when it happend to one I give to a friend. >:( :)

It really makes me wish I lived close enough to come and help. Something about working outside that just calls me, always has. My Mom always gave me a hard time for helping the neighbor buck hay, even though she couldn't get me to mow the lawn, even if she paid me. Oh well. I really want to try and get out to one of these shoots one of these times. It looks like a blast.

Pappy, I'm glad the "Pure Tennessee" bow made it to you in one piece... i am always nervous to send something like that, but i guess people do it every day. I know how busy things are this time of year... so don't worry about a date to get it done. It is a real "shooter" and I would love to have a chance to take a deer with it... but this year, next year, or the following... it doesn't matter to me. It was and is a very special gift to me and always will be weather it can be repaired or not. Thanks K. Hills

Thanks Kevin, I think it can be saved, I will know by the end of the weekend, I got the sinew wrap dried and a nice layer of thin deer rawhide on it 2/3 length like the snake skin was yesterday,just need it to dry for a few days and test it out,you never know but I think it will be OK,you caught it before it done any damage to the tiller and that is always a good thing. It was a very small lift and separation between the grains at a small swirl beside the knot in the fad,go figure,usually a knot in the fad causes no problems at all. ??? I may even try it out on the course this weekend,cause you are right it was/is still we hope ;) :) a good shooter. :) Either way you will have 2,got some good wood picked out. ;) :) :) May be spring for #2 but it is in the planing stage as we speak. ;) :) In between doctoring on Kev's bow I did get time to put up another stand beside a good White oak,loaded and already dropping,should be a good spot/close to the cabin for some of them quick afternoon hunts,the weather is supposed to break tomorrow and looks good for 10 days,below normal for Temps,problem is hunting season don't start for 17 days. ??? ;) :) so who knows how it will be by then. ;) :)

What a great weekend,the first leg of the 22 nd Deer Classic was about like always,24 teams of 3 and a few extra that we will make up teams with,the TwinOaks Bash Saturday night was also a very good feed and time I think had by all. Also got a little time to do some bow work and few other projects in the shop. I got Kevin's bow repaired and I think it will make it,need to shoot a little more before I call it good,got my fingers crossed, :) :) Here are a few pictures of the fun. ;) :) Kevin's bow getting some repairs,sinew and rawhide,that should do it. :) :)
