Hope and Faith Sarrels of 2014

You wouldn't notice it Bisch. It's a dry cold!

HA - the largest fallacy of the southwest (for a midwest corn boy who hunts in 19 degrees)

Anyway, the cold keeps them moving.

Honestly though I was colder in the afternoon when it was 37. I didn't layer properly or take care of my feet properly and I became more cold. I was personally warmer at 22.

Or maybe I was just shivering with buck fever when that big Ohio buck came through.

He was limping pretty badly too. I didn't mention that but he had some type of injury. He was still chasing a doe though and could get up and go when he needed to.

Faith, just arrived in New Jersey, what a beautiful bow the Sarrels brought to life. I'd like to thank Terry for the oppritunity to hunt with this bow. Going to get it set up, maybe take it for a walk in the Jersey woods this evening.

Took Faith out for a little shooting session, found she like axis 400's and Wensel heads. Decided to take her for a little walk in the rain, went behind the house and set up in one of my favorite evening stands. No deer sighted but had a good time. Will get back at it in the morning.

Took hope to the woods this weekend but didnt have any shot opertunities,
When I left the house I grabbed an assortment of arrows,as luck would have it the best shooting arrows were 4 fletched bamboo shafts with zepher heads. one minor tweek and they shoot like darts.
Awsome bow Bob
I will try again this weekend.
Thanks Larry

Have some snow in New Jersey, were in the middle of our firearm season. Took Faith out this evening, had a doe and yearling come by, decided not to shoot, a short time later a one horn three pointer came by,turned my foot to get into shooting position,foot slipped on the stand causing a slight noise, buck took one bound and was in the brush. Very enjoyable evening, will get back at them shortly.

Sounds like a good hunt Ray! Good luck!

modr · December 15, 2013, 02:25:00 PM

We have 6/7" of new snow that fell last night.Faith and I are on our way to a stand just below our driveway, deer should be moving this evening. Will let you know the outcome later.

Well I had hope in the woods alot but was unable to harvest an animal but she and I killed alot of stumps and cactus pads while walking to and from hunting spots.
I will be sending her on her next journey sometime today,
Bob built an nice bow that shoots great,and it was a pleasure to be able to participate in this passaround I hope the rest of you guys have better luck than I did.

Ladams · December 31, 2013, 10:38:00 AM

Worked out pretty good I played with a nice bow for a month and big Jim says my new Buff will ship today.Its been like Christmas all month,
But on a serious note guys, It was a real Honor to be included in this, I have put my name in the hat for several years,I guess the starts were lined up this year....
Thanks

Hey Larry, can't wait for her to arrive. If I'm able to land something we can at least say TX was involved!

Bisch, lets do it. Hogs haven been slim since deer season opened around here. I have a nice doe picked out for doe/spike season in January. "Hoping" to make it happen.

I'll keep everyone posted!

Ladams · December 31, 2013, 12:22:00 PM

Zane
UPS just picked her up,
Good luck
