Hey Everyone,
As most of you know, I love guns and love to hunt – unlike a lot of computer geeks. I also love to take my 3 boys to the woods. As a matter of fact, that is my main motivation for going.
This year’s opening weekend was absolutely spectacular. Our group killed 3 big bucks, 2 smaller ones, and 2 does. Gregg killed a very nice 7pt, and I was fortunate enough to kill my largest buck ever – a 162lb 13 pt (w/ 1 possible pt that may score). Rough guess is about 150 B/C, but that’s just an estimate.
Here is the run-down of who killed what:
- Gregg Murphree- very nice 7pt plus 1 doe on Saturday evening
- Lawrence Murphree – nice 6pt – should have been 8 or better but broken main beam – Saturday evening
- Mark Murphree – nice doe – his 2nd ever
- Michael Shields – button buck – his 1st deer ever – 150 yrds with .243 – Saturday evening
- Mike Davis – nice spike – Saturday morning
- Me – nice spike Saturday morning plus 13pt SUnday evening
A couple of weekends later, Jeremy killed his first deer – a short horn spike – with his single-shot .410!
As usual, many thanks to Mike Davis – my best friend for about 18 years or more – who allows us to hunt with him.
Also, big thanks to Gregg Murphree for taking my son, Michael, for his first shot and first kill and for a great time. Michael had a great time spotting deer for Gregg!
Also thanks to Patti and Tanya for cooking and helping watch the twins – and thanks to Colby, Mark, and Lawrence for skinning duties and helping out.
Also, a big thanks to Jeremy for hunting with me and being my good luck partner. We are going to work on getting his first deer this year also!
