    My Mom is a better hunter than me. I'm happy to admit that. She has been bowhunting for over 30 years, and has been responsible for the death of a lot of deer in that time. Every year, she puts in more hours in a stand than anyone else in the family. Saturday evening she shot a decent northern MI buck. She wasn't 100% sure on the shot, so they backed out and recovered it Sunday morning.

    ZING! Poor Vito is still reeling from that blow. He may not be able to post for at least 2-3 hours now.

    Thanks guys. She is my favorite hunter, and I get more excited over her knocking down a deer than if I actually killed one. She has probably killed twice as many deer as I have, and I actually used to kill some. Like a good friend said, "its a good thing you are good at fishing, because you're Mom is way cooler than you." She is the Sicilian assassin. All 5' 110 lbs.

    I can remember one particular story from my college days. I was home visiting, and was going to hunt one morning. I stayed out too late and didn't get out of bed. My Mom woke me and said, "You should of got your lazy butt out of bed this morning...now come outside and gut my deer." And yes, she laughed. So you can see where I get it from.

    Trust me, I drove her nuts as a kid.

    And I would rather be in the stand than messing with you jokers, but you guys are slightly more entertaining than work. If I actually worked hard, you guys would miss me. You know its true.
