    I’m down to run it back anytime LC. I’ll get you out here in Pa and will stack deer up, it will be comical.

    There is no concession rule, it wasn’t agreed to before the contest began. Hunt or burn.

    And just like that, less than a doe in points separates the two. I believe @Suncrest08 said he can’t hunt again until after Christmas? If that is correct, @LittleChief has a chance to pull ahead over the next week and a half.

    Yep 12/26-1/24, balls in your court LC. I’m gonna make it rain once the season comes back in, trying to get this buck killed that’s been hanging on the farm.

    I’m going to go out this afternoon.

    I took a couple of days and went to Tennessee to take my son in law fishing yesterday for his birthday.

    I’m still going to hunt until season closes here on the 15th, but to be honest I really don’t care about it any more this season.

    I’ve hunted so much (unsuccessfully) that I’m actually sick of it for this year.

    Unfortunately I wasn’t able to hunt much the last couple of weeks. The neighbor’s house has been keeping me busy.

    Of course, the way my season has gone it probably wouldn’t have mattered if I had hunted every day. :lol:

    Congratulations on the win bud!

    I’l get your bottle on the way to you soon!

    Enjoy!

    This makes two years in a row that I have moderated a side bet for free. Next year, I am coming up with a service fee.
