Yesterday I had one of those moments. You know the ones that make you smile at how your life has changed over time. The ones that make you think back to how you thought about the world when you were a kid and how you think about the world now. What would that kid have thought if they knew where they were going in life?

I think back to high school. Growing up in a clean and mostly happy suburb in the shadow of a big city. My outdoors consisted of the woods behind our house and...

Well was showtime again Saturday night. I hit a doe about 3:30, not a good hit, gut shot her. Left her alone til 9:30 and took Quaker down to give it a shot.

Didn't leave the house to go hunting until 3pm. Hopped on the trusty Wheel Horse and was planning on going to the back part of our woods. We've had some minor problems with people cutting through our neighbor's field and hunting out of our trees on our side of the fence so I thought I would check the fenceline before...
