    Sitting here before, work, almost gotta pinch myself. Talked to Mike and Jason last night, They are starting to see some real slammers moving. I can't believe in 10 days I will be sitting in Iowa hunting big whitetails for 9 days on Mike and Jason's farm.. Dream come true to get to hunt the kind of bucks they have out there and to spend time with two of the finest guys I know.

    Well Tony, you being a man of faith, I can say and know you understand this... I do honestly give all things to the big man upstairs, he has blessed me greatly in life, I hope he sends a blessing or two my way in Iowa as well. I am very fortunate to have such good friends that invite me out.

    Sure! Everything is about Mike and Jason!!! What happened to IV?:D

    Anyway, it's still pretty slow around here with the bucks moving around my place at sunset and sunrise only right now which is frustrating.

    You have my number, if you get time give me a call and we'll meet for a cup of joe.

    Good Luck Brother!!!

    Best of luck in Iowa Troy, I hope you see lots of action. I bet you will see more bucks in those 9 days than you typically see in a season of hunting those mountain bucks in Idaho. Have fun and put a monster on the ground.

    Thanks guys, it should be a great experience with two top shelf fellas. I agree John, I could possibly see more deer in a week there than I see all season out here while on stand. I am gonna soak up every ounce of this hunt like it was my last hunt on earth.
