I'm trying to figure out how I would convert you two heatherns into Catholics since i am a Baptist. Guess I'll save the sermon about confessing your sins daily for another time. Well since Phil blamed Toby for all his sins, and Toby don't know whats going on, I guess I'll have to start saving up my pennies and make a trip to Yankee country err Ohio and then to old folks land, errr Florida, to personally deliver my sermon about how thou shalt not lie to the preacher I think a 4 hour sermon might be just the right ticket to get you two OLD reprobates back on the straight and narrow. Now Jesus turned water into wine and turnin heathens into Catholics ought not any harder than turnin pigs into pork chops! Besides ifin' we is reprobates we can't be changed anyway cause that means "without redeeming value".

Youth season started today. Our boy, Martin (on the left), took this little button buck just after 7:00 this morning. The first deer in the freezer this season and Martin's first ever deer! That's his cousin Charles on the right.

Got 4 rug rats here. Oldest to youngest are Lana, Martin, Rob and Charles. First three are ours. Charles, by blood is their 1st cousin. Legally, he's their uncle. Then there's Mike & I, Tom (Mike's brother) and Shirley (Mike's mom). All kinds of aunts, uncles, cousins, kids buddies, and neighbors by here all the time, too. Ain't a bit of privacy. A little overwhelming for this quiet, timid farm gal at times, if you know what I mean.
Went to check in Martin's deer over at Tuppers Plains a sec ago. Another young boy over there was checking in his buck. Beautiful 10-pt'er. Martin was a little discourage after he saw it. But I reminded him that they all eat good and usually the little guys cook up even better.

CONGRATULATIONS to all, some pretty nice looking venison there, sorry cant say the same about some of the faces I took a six pointer here in NY with the rifle, missed the same deer with the bow earlier in the season. I sent Phil a photo of a wall hanger a friend of mine shot. Although im in the photo, it's not my Deer, thought you all miglt like to see a nice 17 pointer that wasn't taken on a game farm. Again, congratulations to all ------

Nice job there Freddie! Kind of curious though, what the heck are you doing with my grandkids and where the heck do you get off calling them your kids? No joke, those two from a distance could easily be Josh and Hunter left to right!

Here is a little something Jerry Briggs sent this morning: I returned the following just to help him out! Stewed Dog(wedding style) Serving Size : 30 Preparation Time :3:00 hours Ethnic: Philippines Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 3 kg cubed dog meat -- * see note 1 1/2 cups vinegar 60 peppercorns -- crushed 6 tablespoons salt 12 cloves garlic -- crushed 1/2 cup cooking oil 6 cups onion -- sliced 3 cups tomato sauce 10 cups boiling water 6 cups red pepper -- cut into strips 6 pieces bay leaf 1 teaspoon tabasco sauce 1 1/2 cups liver spread -- ** see note 1 whole fresh pineapple -- cut 1/2 inch thick 1. First, kill a medium sized dog, then burn off the fur over a hot fire. 2. Carefully remove the skin while still warm and set aside for later (may be used in other recpies) 3. Cut meat into 1" cubes. Marinade meat in mixture of vinegar, peppercorn, salt and garlic for 2 hours. 4. Fry meat in oil using a large wok over an open fire, then add onions and chopped pineapple and suate until tender. 5. Pour in tomato sauce and boiling water, add green peper, bay leaf and tobasco. 6. Cover and simmer over warm coals until meat is tender. Blend in liver spread and cook for additional 5-7 minutes. * you can substiture lamb for dog. The taste is similar, but not as pungent. ** smooth liver pate will do as well.

Nice job there Freddie! Kind of curious though, what the heck are you doing with my grandkids and where the heck do you get off calling them your kids? No joke, those two from a distance could easily be Josh and Hunter left to right! On the left is Frederick Lucas Hill, named after me but called Lucas. In the middle is a dead deer, name unknown. On the right is Anthony Barlow Hill, Anthony for short, named after my grandfather. Sometimes I wish they were someone else's kids so i could get rid of them, but since they are paid for I guess I better keep them.

Way to go guys! This little group is slamming them this year!! We gotta get busy Paws, or they gonna skunk us! I did at least get a doe and a hog with my bow, but no antlers so far this year and I'm getting pretty uptight about it. Freddie, you got to keep them boys around, paid for or not. We ain't getting any younger and you'll be needing them to drag your deer out for you one of these days! ;D

I needed them yesterday but they were too little. i shot that buck at 8:12 AM.Time I carried out my stand and backpack (2 trips total) it was 9:00 AM. I them grabbed ahold of the buck, which outweighed me by about 30 lbs., and proceded to drag him out. After about 50 yards all uphill, I made a drag rope out of a chain, some rope, and 2 ratchet straps. I then tied all this to the pickup, which wasn't supposed to be off the road but was about 1/4 mile from it in a clearing. After finally getting deer to clearing, I then tried for about 1 hr. to load it. No sucess. I then took a ratchet strap, strapped it across the bed, tied a rope to the hind legs, then tied that rope to the ratchet strap. Tied the horns to the tailgate latch, then tied the front legs to the horns. Put a chain around the middle, then was finally able to ge tthe whole mess in the truck. Total time from shot to deer in pickup was 3 hrs. I sure could have used some bigger boys yesterday

Wow! That sounds a lot like a recipe I found in an old book written by prospectors in SW Colorado called "Sumb*tch Stew."

My fifteen year old sister, Chicken (yep, that's her name) got her first today. We were invited to help cull some does off of a local ranch and we set out for an evening hunt. We set up the ground blind along an old fence line seperating a grapefruit orchard and a cypress swamp. At around four thirty we spotted a nice buck cruising the fence line, but since we were invited to bust the baldy's she let him walk. About twenty minutes later, we spotted three doescrossing over into the orchard. One stopped about eighty yards out and looked right at the blind like she was figuring out what it was. She was the biggest one, so I asked her if she wanted to take her. She answered, "Yep! Right in the neck!" then thumbed back the hammer on her H&R handi-Rifle and let-er-rip! She was so excited that she laughed, cried, babbled, and shook for nearly a half an hour from the adrenaline. I was awfully proud to share it with her! I also had the privelege of blooding her myself for her first deer. That old doe folded up like yesterdays newspaper!

Way to go Chicken! Toby I believe that is the first sleeveless deer hunter I ever saw! It's nice to see that somebody in the family ain't ugly!

First sleeveless deer hunter, huh Paws? It was in the low eighties yesterday and overcast. We were hunting in a popup ground blind, so she opted for the tank top and jeans, while my fat ass was in a tank top with shorts. That's why she's posing solo in the photo. If you'd seen my legs, you'd probably rethink your stance on homosexuality. I'm entirely too purty for my own good. Ol' Chicken was wound up tighter'n a watch spring! The farmers teenage son was kinda making eyes at her too. Hmmm, might get invited back! ;D
