I almost forgot the board I made for my arrow collection.Been meaning on doing that for a while ,I couldn't sleep Sat. morning so I was out in the shop about 3:30 and got a lot done.I love the morning. Woody came down also and we went to the Cain thicket and cut him some Cain for some
shooting sticks. JohnT also brought me a new pair of shoes,he thought I looked sad in my worn out
shoes.

I set in a stand a while Saturday morning without seeing anything, and got down and did some scouting for a couple of hours. Found some good white oak acorn feeding activity. Then I went to the club and helped Pappy put up some more stands. I got to shoot the memorial bow, it shot real snappy and that was before heat-treating it. I took it home and have the overlays glued on, but not shaped yet. I was busy finishing up some cane arrows...they're finished now except for mounting the broadheads.

We had a lot of rain over the weekend and its still hot and muggy. Maybe it will cool off a little before the weekend...hope so.

Pappy, I like those new shoes (Momma said they'd take me anywhere!!)bet you can do some sneaking in the woods with them fellers!!!! GregB you are certainly concentrating on those tips. The arrow rack looks really nice as does the memorial bow. I went to mid Georgia and scouted Rum Creek WMA with 4 other gals.on Sunday. Ladies only hunt first of Oct./rifle. I channeled a certain white haired fella and found a sweet little area covered in sign with a beatdown escape trail, pulled back and made me a blind. Now just hope I can find it in 3 weeks!!!I left my reflector thumbtacs in the jeep!!! I hunt on the ground, the other ladies tree stand it so I want them a fur piece from me!!!! Getting excited for sure!! First rifle hunt since Ft Campbell at least 15 yrs ago I believe!!!! I holler good if I get something!!!!!

That arrow board came out real nice! ;)Hope we can arrow a few turkeys next month so those food plots get a chance to feed some horns, too....

Pappy i was out putting stands up on the river yesterday and we seen a few rubs out there too.
Man i got another sweet spot. This one is next to a corn field and the wild pigs have knocked down a bunch of the corn and the deer have stomped it all in the ground. seen lots of buck tracks there to. i got the corn on one side of my tree and a heavily used trail in the woods on the other side.

looks like you got some all you can eat food for the deer. good hunting i got till oct 1 and cant wait.

Ya Chad we need to,Eddie and Dave let me down this year on them but they say they will do better next year now that they know the rules.

Good luck Tomi on your hunt,shoot
straight and bring home some meat.Jesse sound like a good spot,hope you hammer down.
How did yall do at Ft. Campbell ? didn't hear from you so I figured yall didn't do any good.
I went for my MRI yesterday ,so I hope I can figure out what is causing the dizzy spells before
I get up in a tree,I'll strap in good but may have to call some of my buddy's to get me down if it acts up.

By the way Jesse ,I have been hunting deer a long time and still don't know the difference in a buck track and a big doe,I have heard that a lot,maybe someone needs to show me. Just because there are dew prints behind the track don't make it a buck,does have them also. I have seen does make them a lot ,especially in softer ground or running. A really big bucks track will kind of turn out
as they walk but other than that I don't know the difference.Maybe you can teach me something else.

When you get caught up a little and we get through opening weekend we need to get on the hides,the freezer is full so we don't have anywhere to put any more.

Pappy, I hope your MRI turns up something that can be easily corrected to fix your hearing problem.

I got the tips almost finished on the TomB memorial bow yesterday evening. Only lack doing some sanding on them to finish up. I haven't worked on the handle yet, still trying to decide if another piece needs to be glued on or not to give it more depth.

What ever you think,just be sure you don't thin it much so it will bend before you glue one on or it will pop off for sure. I am sure you will come up with something nice.I want to fine tune the tiller and be sure we have the right weight this weekend and shoot it some so I can send it off next week,who knows may even take it out for a hunt before I send it on.

If you have a bunch of hides to flesh Mark, this might be the way to go.
