I’m proud to say my good buddy Wesley (10 years old) smoked his first buck Thanksgiving morning.  It was a quick shot and deadly.  While watching a larger buck make some movement out in front of his stand, he heard a herd behind him.  With one motion he made the “turn around” and zero’d in on the only deer that hung around… that was a bad call on that bucks part. 

Great job Wesley!

 

Chad took a good one (I assume with the 6mm) Saturday near his home in the Archer’s Lodge area.  Daryl and TPaul were along for the tracking but did not make the picture, even though I hear they are taking partial credit for reducing it to possession.  Nicely done Daddy Rabbit.

On a side note…I still planning on killing a deer before the season is over.

Walker Evans Is On Fire!!

Walker has shot a couple of bucks already this year.  He killed both in Johnston County with his rifle.  Good job Walker…now let your Dad kill one.

Big Water

E and Big T took a trip to the blue water last Friday (May 8th). The trip out was a bit sporty to say the least but the weather improved as the day went on. We were hoping to find a tuna bite but ended up HAMMERING a boat load of mahi-mahi! I mean it was a complete brutal beat-down.

The big surprise of the day was a bite that came when E was up in the chair. By the time the reel went off and E got in the chair, we saw the big Blue come full out of the water! The pictures will not do it justice. I wish I could have taken some better shots.

I’ve been on a boat that landed a billfish before but not one of this size. It was definitely chaos (mostly organized) for the majority of the fight. Capt Charles backing the boat down on the fish was unreal. I don’t think I’ve ever traveled that far in reverse on a big boat. The “Rigged Up” was doing some serious work. We got the Blue Marlin to the side of the boat for a good release. It was sweet. Capt. Charles guessed the fish in the 450# range. I’m sticking to my story of it topping the scales at 500#.

Excellent job by E in the chair. Great trip. Should have enough mahi in the freezer for a while.  This might be worth a photo on canvas Joe… hint hint.

DDave in Town

D-Dave made his annual pilgrimage south to God’s country last week. Here are a few pictures that were taken during the week of his visit. Dave took a nice deer with the smokepole…his biggest to date. I also harvested an old 6-pointer the same night E took a doe. There’s a trail cam picture of him at the bottom. Also included are some pictures of a nice 10-pointer that will make a heck of a deer if he makes it another year, and the pet albino which posed for some nice shots.
