Congratulations, and thanks for sharing pictures of your special spot!

nice spot. Congrats on you deer.

Killy: The tenderloins were great....and the wine. You are correct about your memories of my tales of buying the land...and the moose we got two years ago. And....the canoeing in does make one feel like going back in time. But I'm really going to a special, private place. If only they could do something about the highway noise.

Billy, the Poke and Hope is always the weekend after the fourth of July. If you are planning on coming keep in touch because things could change. Two of the real workers in getting the shoot organized are fighting cancer  last I heard.

To the rest of you, thanks for the kind words and taking time to read the story. I'm about to turn 66 and would have preferred to have had this place 20 years ago. However, my retirement years have been greatly enhanced by getting a chance to own my own hunting property. I guess that is what the story really was about...not killing a deer so much but more of a sense of  gratitude for having found a wonderful woman who helped make it possible and to share it with......a lifelong dream. Now I just need to stay healthy and limber so I can take full advantage.

Thanks for sharing Bill. Great Story.

Beautiful piece of ground.

what an absolutley beautiful piece of propertey.

Great story, Bill. Thanks for that. Congratulations on your deer! Jawge
