Lordy, Lordy, he finally got one

[Sgt Fury]

Yes. Respectable body. And that is exactly what I've been saying all year. Just send me a big body non doe. Finally happened. The other upside to shooting this dude? No tag soup. And my favorite target, I'll call him Chris Olave because I hope he sticks around another year or two but he is already impressive. . .lives. He didn't walk by and tempt me. Because I'd have shot Olave.

Walked out with shooting light left. Wanted to walk the opposite field edge because yesterday I thought I saw a shed out there. Opposite field edge butts up to bedding and standing corn so I try to avoid that edge. Sure enough was a shed antler. I think it dropped late because the damage almost looks like it was done by a tractor. Or. . .a coyote drug it out and dropped it there, AND it was hit by a tractor this fall.View attachment 118230View attachment 118231

I found a shed around 20 years ago that was run over by a farmer when he plowed the field. It was in four pieces and they were scattered about ten yards apart. I found them all and super glued them together...it worked but you can clearly see the cracks. Nice find.

I thought of you when I put the fingertip ML condom on because I think that was your suggestion. I thought of you when I pulled it out of the safe following bonus gun. I did not think of you in the moment. Sorry, but not really sorry.

I thought of my younger years when the ML condom blew apart. (Went pretty far too.) Had a flashback or two. Man were those scary moments.

Couldn’t be happier for ya Phil!
Thanks for thinking of me.
