    MacBook Pro
    15-inch, Mid 2012

    Processor: 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB
    Software: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    Storage: 750 GB SATA Disk

    I talked to a few guys who produce their own show. Two of them use iMacs and FCP 7. The other uses a PC and Adobe. I really like this MacBook and I think I want to stay with Mac going forward. Both of the Mac users told me I would need an iMac to get full capability out of FCP. I'm sure it would be the same with Adobe.

    Today was my day to shine with failure. Had a nice size lone doe come in. Coulda had a shot at 40 but wanted her to come in closer for a better shot. Got in to 25. Managed to just brush a twig and stick the ground between her feet. Was an excellent follow up to the tree earlier. Decided with few min of shooting left and rain coming it was time to head in. Got to opening of trail into field and decided to get a good look around. She had stayed in the corner broadside. She snorted at me and I froze. She calmed in a few seconds and continued in the alfalfa calmly. I had a nice opening to shoot through, except another f-ing twig got my cam. Three pathetically blown shots today. I guess plus is no harm to a deer besides laughing at me.

    It will come around for you. It is only that BH.com does not want us smoking everyone out of the water yet.

    My days and things kinda go that way. When it's one bad thing it kinda just snowballs from there. I'll hit a few of my other projects for the next few days and of some target shooting and next week will be all new. I watched a lone goose come in the field too, which my cat almost got. That was sweet. At least my cat followed in my footsteps getting close and not closing the deal too :)
    I picked up a recurve off ebay to try out that came today. Needs new string that i ordered and should be in in a few days. Looking forward to shooting that and hopefully do some hunting next season with it. It's a bear grizzly, 58" 45#.

    A buddy has the same one and plans only hunting with that this season. I'm thinking it'll be a good option to use too. Just picking it up so far sure is a world of difference in weight and feel. Watching people shoot them is pretty sweet.

    I agree! It would be so cool to get one with a recurve. More of a challenge for sure.

    Definitely. I think the feeling from it would be way sweeter. More rewarding. Pretty pumped to get to try it out on a target and see how its gonna go. Guessing its gonna be a good amount of quite short range for a good while

    The little 4 point is the only deer that I have seen and the only one that I could of shot. He is to small knowing there are more bigger bucks out there. I am ready to get it done!

    Nice to get out for a little tree stand cleansing, eh? I'm coming off a four day bender from D-days/FGL concert. I assume Hobo Days was toxic for you as well.
