Peak's Shed/Hunting journey (4/20/09)

Big rub..

 

Sounds like you drop more things than the bucks do Peak. Hard to find sheds when you are looking for your own head. LOL

 

Peak- might be able to get out with you sunday morning if you are going after work. Let me know

 

3 hours today and zilch.

 

You getting out at all this week T?

 

Working on it and with the snow melting later today I need too.

 

Good luck! Let us know how it goes!

 

3/4/09 A couple of finds. Forgot my regular camera.

 

Nice T.

A couple Rob bucks it looks like.

 

That will teach you to forget the camera. Ever since I got mine last week I haven't gone anywhere without it.

 

Peak how did you do yesterday? Did you stay at that spot all day were you were when we talked?

 

I didn't find any once I got on the phone with my uncle I just kicked back on this bench they had on the hill and enjoyed the sun. My buddy went out up near Burlington and found one huge 8 Point side. My Aunt found a huge 4 point side so it looks like she beat raceway already.

 

Heading out to Jo Davies County in IL today and coming back Saturday so Hopefully I can find a few around.

Who you shed hunting Jo Davies with Peak?

 

What a great weekend and one that I will never forget. I found a very nice 4 point and then about 4 minutes after I was double checking where he walked he yells DAD...DAD a antler. I run up the hill and sure enough it is the other side which is
a 5 point. You talk about a little boy that was so excited and to have one this size as his first shed was great in my mind. Well the next morning we are out and checking a pine grove and he finds another little spike antler with a start of a browtine. He says Dad this one is my favorite because it was harder to find.
The seed has been set and I think I have a hunting buddy for life.

Well anyways we keep searching and he is finding all these golf balls and all of a sudden a big cry comes out and he lost his antler. Oh chit this is not good so I search and search and nothing at all. He is in tears and says forget it lets just
start looking again and I tell him we are not giving up. Glad we didn't I walked back to the same place for a 2nd time where he had picked up a golf ball and wouldn't you know it this time I found it planted in the mud just with the tip sticking out with his foot print on top of it. You want to talk about a smile
that came back and a big hug wow.
Anyways here are the pics with a fishing one added:





Another shed:

Gotta love a piece of bass:

 

Way to go Tony. Must be great to have a son who loves the outdoors as much as you do.

 

Yeah it is pretty cool and I have my work cutout with my son Dylan.
We are heading to my mom's next weekend so he can shoot the 30/06
and see how he likes it. He will be doing the youth hunt this coming fall so
I have 1 foot in the door with him.

 

That's awsome Cole!!! Nice pics T

 

Wow, awesome week, im pumped for some bass fishing also, and those were some nice sheds.

 

Good stuff T, how'd the boy like the kick on the -06???
