Damn, where's the time gone? Mason behind the wheel???? Good luck buddy, I foresee more grey hair coming your way lol

 

[giles]

Hot damn! That pond is on fire!!!

 

[brock ratcliff]

Don't get too excited yet, J. He just turned 14. He was just driving my truck off road a little. Apparently it's easier to drive than the tractors, four wheelers and gator he is accustomed to. Hopefully he will be a good driver once he does get a license! lol

I look forward to the updates. Great looking fish. Nice buck on camera too!

Here's another pic. Not really hunting or fishing related, but I guess it's part of our adventure.

That's awesome Brock! I can still remember specific times when my dad let me drive the old Ford 600 or one of his work trucks. That's a great moment for young men!

Looking forward to this thread as always! Good luck men!!

We've been fishing a lot lately. I am not looking forward to trading rods for guns and bows. We have one cam out. Probably a dozen different bucks and not a good one in the group.
We did squirrel hunt this afternoon. That was enjoyable. Only killed one, not much of a mess.

Nice!

 

[hickslawns]

Eh. The switch will flip to deer mode when it is time. Enjoy the fishing and squirrel hunting.

Good stuff Brock, I'm mostly gettin stuff done so I can relax and concentrate more on hunting and family when my vacation time gets here. It will not be long before we all are telling hunting season to slow down cuz once it starts it passes by quickly.lmao

 

[brock ratcliff]

Mason has been hunting several times. He has seen some does. We don't have anything on camera at this point that makes me want to hunt. A week into season and I haven't bought a tag. Weird. I plan to go fishing the next two weekends, but I'm going to try putting up a stand tomorrow that I'll probably hunt a lot after Halloween. I hope by staying out of the stand I'll enjoy my time in it more when I do decide to go.

Sounds like a good plan Brock! Good luck to you and Mason this year!

 

[giles]

Time to let him do the ground work[emoji23]

 

[Boarhead]

Good luck Brock and Mason!

 

[brock ratcliff]

Scratch that plan. I'll be buying a tag soon. Hung two stands today. The fever is coming.

Mason and I were hanging w the landowner in his barn today. He has a big collection of sheds and deadheads. Mason spied one amongst them from 20 feet. He recognized it immediately. It's one we saw last year and hope to see this year with a little bigger set of horns. I was really surprised he knew that deer f I'm just a glance. Here he was last year.

All it took was a visit to a barn full of sheds and dead heads?
