Mrs ND would do it just to help or just because she likes that kind of work. She likes the chainsaw. The one with the green shorts, she'd throw firewood for as long as you could keep a camera focused on her.

Runs a chain saw, probably drives the tractor too. Sounds like you have the perfect women Dave.

So , Mr , Mrs , Northern Dave and family , that 4k post mile marker is creeping up quick . Any plans for a mile marker post ? I've been enjoying the virtual opportunity to visit camp chickenbuck for a while now , and thought I'd make a point to say thank you Dave for starting this thread , in memory of your best friend , building and growing the camp and family ties , and sharing it all here with us folks on the other side of some computer screen. Amazing ( well not really to me ) the quality of folks that gravitate to and share both in the hard work as well as the fun parts of " Birth of a deer camp " ps . and if you tell anyone I got all sappy I'll head over there and shoot ol' forky toes myself and hang him up on your deer hanging rack.

I'm tellin ya...he's gonna get shot by the tzone stand. That thing has serious good juju. Never seen that stand in the woods,(yet), but that is where Forky Toes will meet his match. I just don't know if I have the guts to pass him up when he walks by me this year. Hes the kind of buck that "was created by god....for outdoor magazines."

Ahhhh,the "Balad of Forkytoes" sounds a wee bit like "Dueling Banjos" or perhaps "Ghost Riders in the sky".
To the Tune of Ghost Riders: An old deer hunter walking out,one cold and wintry day. At Tzone stand he hunted while he went upon his wayyyyyyyy. When all at once a mighty deer named Forkytoes he saw. Sneaking thru the timber and across a little draw.
Heck,I may have to reprint my original poem"The Black Buck" here.

If you have to take a second shot then you probably shouldn't have taken the first shot.

i've never seen such a rediculous track as that damn forky toe buck leaves.
you can lay a beer can down next to his track & it's the same overall length & width.
with the toes splayed out like bunny ears.
