    Man, no better way to top off the first story you wrote about your dad this year than a second one just as exciting and fulfilling. What a great season he has had and a huge congrats to the both of you!

    Yep, he drives right to it. There is a brushy old fence row with some small trees in it that separates his plot from a large ag field. He uses this to hide it. A small lane runs right to the blind so he can drive up to it and unload his gear then back out and hide the Ranger.

    Thanks for all the kind words guys, I couldn't have asked to take anything more from this season than what I have already been given. Pops is quite proud of 'Ol Cecil and you can be damn sure he's going on the wall with the other mounts in his house.

    I gun hunted all weekend, so we finally took Cecil to his cousin who does our taxidermy work. Talk about a proud man. He was super excited to share the story with the crowd that was gathered around the shop.
