No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.

I was thinking it's gotta be pretty soon, saw several bucks Saturday still wearing their sets. Called 22 deer in Sunday while coyote hunting, 3 bucks in the bunch still had antlers, didn't see any that had dropped yet.

Wife found a bloody 5 inch spike from a local buck laying in our driveway last Saturday. Seems a bit early to drop

I heard the memo would oficialy go out next week, but some were reading over the shoulder when he was typing it up so they decided to drop early and go have a beer.

So there you have it the oficial word on the subject.

(sorry, couldn't help being a smartass)  :rolleyes:

Wait a little while the spring ones will be out!!
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Oh I see what you did there. :)
I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.
