My cousin Ray & I played hookey & did some shed hunting & scouting. We found no sheds, but plenty of sign. We managed to kill some stumps too. Some pics.

Me & my vintage fleece from the early 80`s



Ray shooting his Bigriver flatbow.

Behold the mighty power of the Bigriver longbow. A future stump WAS harmed in this outing.

Looks like you all had a great day shooting.  My son Tyler came running across our field this evening yelling "Dad, I found a deer horn!"  I can search for days and not find one and my 7 yr. old can go out in our field in ten minutes and find a nice shed. Go figure.

We found LOTS of buck sign, tracks & droppings. The browsed areas were unreal, like I have never seen. The property is for sale & I am first in line. Too bad my oldest will be wasting my money for college!




Rub lines on a few ridges.

More rubs than I have seen for a few years.

A couple of onlookers saying goodbye. Thanks for coming along.

Cool pics, nice rub line. Yup, had those exact same bibs, bought in 87. Can you say flashback!

Now your making me feel old!    Looks like a great time, thanks for sharing

Great pics . Looks like a sweet pace.  

Looks like you folks had a great day. Great pictures with plenty of sign. Nice lookin' bows right there too. By the way I too still have my "Vintage" Original Tree  Bark Camo. It's like an old friend to me. One last comment, that's why I love to hunt power lines too.

Looks like a mess of fun.  

They sure were comfortable hunting gear, like a comfy pair of jammies.

My goal is to be able to fit in them every year, then I am ok to go elk hunting

I hope she slam dunks you for that quip!

"A future stump WAS harmed in this outing."

HA- was Ray in the background bugling like a big bull when you made that shot?  looks mighty familiar

Nice pics Brian    Plenty of snow left in the woods up there!

Thanks Joe, that is north of Iola, still around a foot in the shade.

HH, that was just cold  

sorry Bud, just to easy  

I don't know if you even care but those rubs that are 2 inchs or bigger means those bucks are 3 1/2 or older.Bucks only rub where they feel safe at.And it  tells his whole pattern before and after the RUT.Sorry but I lose my mind when it comes to deer scouting.

One of the best ways I can think to spend time, enjoying the outdoors with your friends!
