Well, it has been over a year since I posted--no real reason, other than the fact that we've been too busy to do anything other than hunt--no time for web surfing. At any rate, it has been a successful season. Some of the same guys have come down: Francis and his friends, Hank and his friends, Greg Dailey, George Smith--the usual suspects.

We've had a lot of misses since the first of the year, and we haven't gotten as many hogs as we would like to, but deer season this year was phenomenal--trophy bucks were coming out the woodwork. We had one buck KILL another one during the rut. He raked and ruthlessly stabbed an eight point to death. What's more? No one killed him. This murderous, deranged monster is still roaming our land, and he will be available next year.

Another bizarre tale--my uncle Scott caught a 10 point on a trot line. That's right. He went to check his lines and found a drowned deer caught in the line. Earlier in the year, he killed an excellent buck with his bow. Now he claims he has given up hunting with a gun altogether.

We've got a brief reprieve the last few weeks with no hunters. The hogs should be raring to go for the next bunch that rolls in.

That's all for now. Until next time, I'm Michael Williams.
