COME ON. GET HERE ALREADY

Mike Vines · September 29, 2011, 08:24:00 PM

Just one more day to get thru. My son turns 8 tomorrow. After work we are having a bunch of his friends over for dinner then go play a few games of lazer tag. Get home, do presents and cake, then we are showing the movie "The Great Outdoors" (With John Candy) on the wall projector for all of them.

I told my wife when the movie is over, I'm burning rubber.

I dropped off the camper yesterday, set up the blind after shoeing a few deer out of the orchard so I can do it in peace. I'm planning on getting there around 1 or 2 AM Saturday morning then a 5 AM wake up, coffee with my hunting partner then off to the wilds of Michigan.

Just a little venting about the speed of the clock.

Shoot straight guys, and most importantly, be safe. We want all of you around to share your stories with us.

Happy birthday to your son Mike! Best of luck on Saturday! West Virginia opens the same date and I'll be carrying the Hill I got from you! She's short at 64"... But... She's my go to! I love the bows attitude and maneuverability compared to her HH black bear sister 68" and 55 @ 28. There's mojo in that bow brother!

Mike Vines · September 29, 2011, 09:50:00 PM

I was thinking about that bow just today Kenny. I'm glad you love her as much as I did. It was my go to bow for a couple years too.

Good luck to you as well.

It's not "attitude" in that bow, it's Imported from Detroit.

I have been saying that for over 30 years. I used to flat out refuse to work south of 8 Mile Rd. Besides that, you are absolutely right. This is a very beautiful state.
