Nice Scott! Love them Crappie. Pound for pound they have a hell of a fight in them!

Thanks guys!!

Cleared the last of the 'maters
Bland store bought til next year

Cutty,

Last of mine were oct 15th. Always makes me sad, friend to see the garden go. We froze a lot of ours into sauce. One way to get a fast dinner. Spaghetti and homemade tomato sauce.

Thomas

Man, what I'd give to have a garden! You guys enjoy the cycle of life that comes with a garden!

Scott;Good to see ya fishing again feels good don't it

Speaking of life cycles, good studies are showing that 3 servings of tomatoes per week go far to preventing prostate issues.

Unlike most veggies which are best eaten uncooked to receive maximum nutrition, cooked tomatoes in any form (sauce, catsup, stewed, whatever) actually generate more lycopene than uncooked. Lycopene is the super nutrient providing a variety of benefits.

I took some pictures of my home away from home for the Saturday and Sunday after Thanksgiving for the past 4 years now. Maybe this will be the year I actually see a buck worth shooting. Monday before heading back to Virginia I tied a bag of Deer-Cane to a rope bridging two trees, also spent 3 afternoons clearing up my field of vision. Hope it all pans out and puts some meat in my freezer and gives me some antlers for knife handles. The hillside is pretty steep but it doesn't slow down the whitetails any. Apologies for the cell phone pictures but that's all I had with me.

Even healthier when served between two slices of bread, accompanied by three slices of bacon and a large slathering of M-I-R-A-C-L-E W-H-I-P.

Buck taken by a friend with a bow. Location was in far south Texas near Laredo.

1967redrider, That is a fine shooting house but being a Florida boy it makes me tired just looking at the slope on that hill or mountain, whatever it is! When you kill that buck, I sure hope he is downhill from the truck! In this part of Florida we have an occasional hill but nothing like that unless its around a sink hole.

Paladin, We will probably read about your friend and that big boy in some hunting magazine! What a deer! They don't look like that in the Panhandle of Florida, a 100" deer is considered a real prize in our part of the world.

Thanks Gents for posting pictures on the Outdoorsman thread.

Treefarmer

Paladin, nice rack your bud scored there! That's what I'm talking about.



treefarmer, yes it does get the blood flowing walking up and down these hills. But those dang deer can really motor. I have a winch on the ATV and a gutted deer is a little lighter. But when you bag one, that's when the work begins.

Yeah it does Bob! A buddy called me today and told me he pulled 30 out of my spot.


Knice blind redrider!!!

Knice RACK! Ray!

Thanks Scott!

Well, the big buck eluded me today, but it is almost Thanksgiving, and things are looking good for turkey season....

Nice pictures Blue.

Heck Blue, Mr. Big Buck has been eluding me all season - nice pictures! Now that we only have a spring turkey season in NC, I see this batchelor group of seven Tom's everytime I hunt the power-line stands - our Thanksgiving turkey will be coming from the grocery store! OH

Ps. Ray, that buck your buddy took in Texas is the deer of a lifetime - wow!

Thanks Joe!

Hey OldHunter, it's nice having a power line to hunt! Pre-cut deer lanes, plus a built in rangefinder.
Great bunch of toms in that pic. If I had been turkey or squirrel hunting yesterday I would have bagged my limit!
.30-06 does bad things to those little critters though

After driving through your country in the Florida Panhandle this summer Phil, I can understand how you could feel like that.
If I can't look up at the horizon and see big mountains off in the distance, I get agoraphobia, (the opposite of claustrophobia).

All my life I have lived where I could look to the horizon and see mountains several thousand feet tall on at least one side if not on all four sides of me.
Being in the flat land is like living in a pancake to me.

Agreed Dale. Florida blows.


Knice pics Bruce & Blue!

Dale, Where we live is not near as flat as where we grew up in central Florida. There is a little more rolling country here in the Panhandle than some areas of the state. In fact we live about a mile from the 2nd higest point in the state, all of about 320' above sea level (highest point being 345'). Florida is not known as a big buck state but the trophy is in the eye of the beholder. Here's one I killed last January a couple of miles from the house. Trophy hunting is not in my vocabulary, but I sure wont let a big one pass without taking a crack at him! Rifle season starts Thanksgiving day, runs for 4 days then goes out for a couple of weeks then opens again and goes through late February in this part of Florida

Don't forget about our Florida fishing, it's in a league of its' own!

Just trying to defend our part of this great country! Treefarmer

Had a few days off and hunted in Ky and Wv, here is my harvest so far this year.

JE.. KILL all them yotes!! Nice bucks all!!! John
