Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

As expected, this morning I awoke to a constant 15-20 mph wind and snow squalls.  This was going to have to be my last day in the woods with Faith so not going wasn't an option.
I decided, though, to head to our lease and see if I could bump into some turkeys riding out the wind in some of the hollows on the leeward side of the mountain.  Of course, I wouldn't turn my nose up at a whitetail if it showed up...LOL

Pulling up to what we call the new side, I looked over and confirmed that the wind was still indeed howling.  You can see a snow squall building in behind this lone pine.



I moved along, hoping the snow wouldn't get to laying on too much.  This is heading out the winding road to the new side.  It is 762 acres of Virginia mountain land.  It is coal company property that they lease to hunters.  Myself and 5 others have about 1500 acres.



Here's one of the many gas wells on it.



My plan today was to check all the deep hollows off the east side of the mountain.  I figured these areas would be providing some protection for the turkeys.  This piece of property has some deer on it.  But there's not a huge population.  It does harbor an older age class of bucks generally.  The one thing it does have in spades though is turkeys, along with quite a few bears (not currently in season in this part of Virginia).  There were probably about a dozen deep hollows I checked out.  Here's a photo of a typical one.

On the third one I found what looked to be 5 longbeard gobblers hanging out.  Unfortunately they spotted me about the same time.  No way I could even think of taking the 60 or so yard shot.  They didn't hang out long with the intruder showing up in their protective little hideout and were gone.

Disappointed, but thrilled that my plan was working, I moved on to the others.  I took this photo of Faith getting ready to check the next hollow after I bumped the gobblers.  I put her down and nearly lost her!  Love the colors on this bow.



Here are a couple of photos of the "typical" areas we hunt on top of the mountain here.  It is beautiful country as far as mountain land goes.





Headed to a portion of the lease we call Little Sutherland.  Faith found another nice rub to have her picture taken with.  I hunted this area hard this deer season and bumped the buck I'm pretty sure made this rub on day 4 of a 5 day hunt here.  Got a little too anxious and made a not-so-smart move.



As I was leaving, I took one last photo of some mistletoe.




As I said, today is my last day with Faith.  I feel honored to have been able to spend some time with her.  She is a fine bow.  Wanted, again, to congratulate Rob on sealing the deal today.  Also, I wanted to thank Terry, Rob, Curt and all the others that work so hard to make tradgang such a great place...and thanks, again, to Hill Country for this year's bows.

I forgot to mention she ended up being a he. It was a button buck. Didn't notice til we found him. Not that it would have given him a pardon today.  :D
