I'm sure the trappers will get plenty. I'm betting the 150 quota will get filled fast.

Corey , that is AWESOME ! Everyone around here is seeing them, i guess i just have not gotten out enough lately. That is really cool especially sticking it with the bow.

They went down last night, i had 3 buddies connect, 1 decent buck, 1 that went in the 150's and bambi. Danny Perez called and he is got a cameraman following him around, sounds like we might see his ugly mug on TV. Said he smoked a doe at 67 yards the other day. He shoots regulary and said he ranged it before letting go.

Congrats on the Kitty and hope you get MR. BIG !

67 yards with a bow is very unsporsman like to me. I would say your would wound more then kill. More power to him.

For the average person it would be, but I know a number of people that could make it 99% of the time. I'm not one of them thats for sure.lol

Didn't danny get on video last year shooting a big buck. I saw a nontypical today at the taxidermist that went 208. Just a massive hog. Smallest circ. on the main beam was still over 5".

Shep Brown in Ottumwa does a very nice job! I had a full coon mount done 5 years ago for $250. Again he is very good. Booked up too.

When I let this sow out of the tree she went nuts! Her and the Sage male both. Sage is off my Annie and Duane and Scotts Joker. He's only 6 months. He hunted alone lastnite as well.

Neither was scared of this mean sow either. She had alot of life in her when hitting the ground. Maybe I can get one of her looking up. Didn;t take the male off Dutch, will probably tonite if the wind isn;t blowing 40mph like its suppose to

The first is of Jessi with Sage looking in at the left.

This is of Sage and Jessi

I would check with Dan Burkhart in West Union. He is very good with birds. Otherwise I would check with Danny Beck in Elkader. He is one of the best with deer. I might end up taking my cat there as well. The guy I took him too down here is very expensive.

Byran
That is cool. Keep in rolling. I was planning on going tonight too. Hopefully the wind isn't too bad.

Come on Corey, that didn't hardly give the dogs time to empty out !!! I would agree that wind wasn't very pleasant tonight. We treed three and saw eight sitting up, so should have some to tree another night. Take care, Ron.
