Better than tagging your own...
« on: October 01, 2018, 09:12:01 PM »
... Is having a young person that you mentored in hunting take their first buck! This is Sean (old guy on left is ol' Elkboy, still kicking around). I had the pleasure of mentoring Sean to his first deer last fall, a whitetail doe. This year, he really took ownership of his hunt and took a buck at thirty yards. He studied the wind, the movements of the deer, and the landscape, and set up in a great spot. Not to sound patronizing, but I am super proud of the hunter he's become. I know he will uphold and honor the hunting tradition, and pass it on in the way I was blessed to pass it to him.

Awesome! It is great to see a passion passed to another!

Good job to both of you!
It is better to be consistently incorrect than inconsistently correct...

Sarcasm: The ability to insult stupid people without them realizing it. 

My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity...

Sarcasm makes smart people laugh and stupid people mad.
