    We actually caught those over our lunch break one day last summer at a 10 acre private pond. We each caught one at the same time. Having adult kids that still hang out with the old man is the absolute best blessing ever.

    Fletch, that is one of the greatest blessings. My boys still love to go hunting and fishing with their old man. I love every minute of it.

    That is a Splake. That is a cross between a lake trout and a brook trout

    I guess it's official, second place this year.:jaw: As others have said, it's been a great run. You've made this old guy ( be 70 in a couple weeks) happy to be on a winning bow hunting team. Really great to be on a team that was so active. Even learned some things. Doubt if I'd tried ozonics without hearing about them from LC. With the teams discussions on lifelines started using them this last year on my own stands and bought them for Christmas presents for kids and grand kids that hunt. I'll worry less about them climbing into stands now. So big thanks to you guys for that.

    Excited and worried a little for next years hunting. Severe winter here, might be winter kill if it keeps snowing and cold. Santa Claus bought me a ravin r5x excited to be using it, might go crazy and put oracle x on it. Won't have any more excuses for missing.

    Hoping the best for you guys in the future. Have fun!

    It has been a pleasure guys and still wild that we got into the 2nd place slot. So close from making the Orion's Syndicate a dynasty, but luck slipped from us this year. Been fun following along on all of your adventures, and hope to find myself on a team with some of you in the future. 2023 will bring some fun as I have Kentucky, Kansas, and Wisconsin all on the plate as well as a focus on getting Ty his doe regardless if we are on the same team haha. Thanks again guys, and keep in touch!
