I am in the process of taking hunter's safety education online. In arkansas its required for any hunter born after 1968. they accept any safety card from your home satate though. The irony is that I have to take a test, but they will let Phil hunt here since he passed when he was in junior high. *sigh* if only they knew. (thus far no questions about school busses).

Anyway I thought you would like this page from it, see inside a deer:

First Kill of the season.

Finally hit a few of the little buggers this morning... So far I'm 5 for ~40 or so... Maybe I won't make as much fun of Pistol Pat this year.... naaa. Note the picture with the houses in the background. We were actually hunting a field with a major freeway to our back and the housing development you see on the other side. There were doves everywhere. I'm claiming first kill cause nobody else has said anything... Losers! ;-) And finding one dead on the ground doesn't count Old Farmer.

Mac's 1st hunt!

Mackenzie went with me dove hunting this afternoon. She seemed to like it right up till she put her hand in a fire ant mound. I'm still dove skunked but at least I got a bunny rabbit. Gonna give it another try in the morning.

Thanksgiving weekend

Sorry folks, first chance i've had to write in awhile. Time to start thinking 'bout fall. Ryan, you coming up? I know that Nelson put in for tags in KB county. I think Pat and I are going to try to make it over there for that weekend.

I've been missing the open country of SD. Yeah, I love the woods, damn, i've seen some beautiful sights this summer (despite the lack of college girls), but I often think back to the crisp fall air over prairie fields. Snow covered corn stubble and the condensing puff of breath out of of a big doe. So I can't wait to see ya'll, suppose I should look up the NR applicaton dates soon....
