    Well Congrats to all of you smoking bucks. Them are great deer. I agree no shame. Nice trophy's!

    As to my hunting! Been a little bit of disappointing issues and have not been seeing any deer. I was out the other day and the owners nephew decided to check his traps at prime time deer hunting. I cant really toss a fit because I will be put out before family! That is why I want to own my property by myself. It time it will happen but boy this drives me nuts! Siman you know I am good for a buck since my big boy I dropped in December of 2010! That is one thing this DAWG does not do is GIVE UP! I am a fighter and will not so that. I have been down for a few days and I will be back out in the morning tomorrow. I will be head hunting for a wall hanger but we will see what happens. Our gun season starts up on the 22nd to the 24th!

    Some more pics of Foggy...

    That's my house in the background, so I literally took Foggy behind my house.

    My dad is a part-time cattle farmer. I took some of the pictures in the pasture. The gate plot is just in front of me and I took Foggy about 60 yards to the right (my left in the pic) just down in the woods.

    That is a dandy buck! Man am I ready to down my first antlered deer this year. I would like to smoke two wall hangers but I will not hold my breath! I have had all the little ones within 20 yards but no shooters except the one that is still on his hoof and I am still lost on that deal.

    Asking for Prayers for the people involved in the tornado touch downs. Washington IL which is by Peoria IL was hit really hard and there are houses leveled. Hope everyone is ok. My friend just filmed a tornado about 10 miles away so I hope we stay safe. Semi's have been turned over and property damage.

    Prayers to the tornado victims. A tornado touched down in a small town about 10 miles from me. Didn't do much damage to any residence. Took out a couple farm sheds and knocked down a lot of trees. Other than that, I wasn't too bad. If it would have touched down about a mile north, it would've been bad for the people of the town.

    A tornado touched down by Morley and completely destroyed my cousins home. Luckily nobody was injured. I haven't heard of anything else locally being torn up too bad though.

    Sorry to hear about your cousins home. I drove down there and didn't see any houses down. I saw that Cookson's Seed got demolished.

    Just got back from Gifford, it was pretty bad there. I did some searches and ran some medical stuff. I've never seen something like that before. I hope did enough in the short time I was there. It's going to be a long road for a lot of people there. So if you could say a prayer for them and all of the workers still out there helping them as well.

    Boy I am getting ready to snap! I have had nothing but little bucks except the one buck that came by this year in shooting range. I had a small basket 9 point at 20 yards this morning. When will the grandpa or dad show up?
