Everyone passed on small bucks (I passed a small 7 pointer 3 different times inside 15 yards). lotsa does and lotsa small bucks, but the big boys are still a no show. I also saw signs of small bucks running. The thing is, I didn't see any does. none, zip, zilch, nada, nuttin. I think if the weather cools by next weekend, things are going to really snap. We should see plenty of daytime movement of the bukaroos then.

I forgot...I found the bullet while I was butchering the deer today. I hit the buck high in the shoulder on the left side and it traveled up the spine and lodged in the hide of the neck on the oposite side. Bullet traveled about 12-15" of spine.
That would explain the bang-flopage.

T-Zone,
I am so sorry about your dog. I missed that post and skipped right to your pictures.

Thanks. It's tougher than I thought it would be, especially since we figured it was coming.

She is such a sweet dog too. Tough to see her go through this. It's time.

No more shooting from Chickenbuck yet. Just text CBF, and he said no they didn't see much.
I am out of order until further notice. My "stupid people" filter needs cleaning and my "give a damn" batteries have run out.

ND said that he would try to be back to work on Wednesday so I would assume that means some stories tonight. On the other hand, he did get that shower up so really no reason to come home at all???
I may have to swing out to Chickenbuck this weekend & check on the operation.

We are both headed up on Thursday I think. I would like to leave here by noon. It is about 170 miles from here. Should I bring the generator up there. If you think we will work on the walls again, I will. Just let me know what you think.

If you think we will work on the walls again, I will. Just let me know what you think. Might as well throw it in. We might do something, who knows? It's about 325 miles for me. Around six hours. It will take a little longer this time, I'm going to go around the Red Lake Rez.

Got a big pot of Venison Chili cooking. As soon as it gets to a point that I can leave it I'll post a story about the radiator buck. Stay tuned.
