Playing soldier with the Oregon National Guard. Got the Drill blues!   :(

Gonna shoot a little after I get home from drill.

well it statred out ok...but I ended up having a crappie day....caught 17 nice keepers...can you say fish fry...

Went to the United Bowhunters of Missouri Festival in Jeff City with some good friends today.  My friend Travis bought a new MOAB from that fine fellow Jim Reynolds.  I encouraged poor Travis to spend his hard earned coin, and crowed with glee when he finally wrote the check.  I won't steal Travis' thunder... He'll be around before too long to post pics I'm sure.  Jim got a good laugh when I ribbed Travis that I finally had a nice MOAB to shoot at no expense to me...      

I picked up some little items that I always seem to forget when I make a mail order.  As usual, the friendliness and service from Mike and Brenda at The Nocking Point was first rate!  As a little added bonus, met "Irish" and his friend there too.

Got home and put my new Bateman tab through it's paces with my Acadian.  Shot exceedingly well for me.

All in all, an excellent start to the weekend!

Well, we just got back from our big donkey hunt. We ducked down into the speargrass just in time to avoid being seen by four donkeys who were coming toward us. They passed 30 metres away, and I could've shot, but wanted my mate, Dave, to have a go. He shot underneath, and they spooked away. Later, we found a lone donkey, and plotted a good course to intercept him, and he would've come right past, but when he was 40 metres away, I felt the wind hit the back of my neck, and the donkey hit the wall and circled way-out wide, snorting and carrying-on. It was a good morning, with two close encounters.

Well, NorthernCaliforniaHunter showed up tonight with his wife and daughter for fletching, flinging, and feeding. I fletched, they all flung, and then we fed. Much fun was had by all.

Not much going on this weekend, but I'm expecting a new (to me) JD Berry Appollo Monday or Tuesday. Next weekend will be fun...:^)
