No luck last night, but we did see a bunch of deer. Saw two bucks, one looked like he has potential to be something special. Saw a bunch, close to a dozen new peels so they are definitely getting real active. It's just a matter of time. I hope not too much time cause I'm running out of it. Thank you so much for all the support, it means a lot to me.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not!

Got the text from D-Rock saying no love. Bummer. However, new sign means new hope. Keep at it.

Yup, it was cool and uplifting to see all those peels. that bear is either super active or there are a few in that area. We got dumped on big time, by the time I got home I was soaked to the bone and a tad bit chilly! I didn't get home till almost 11:00, then had to get up at 4:00 to come to work. I'm fighting to stay awake today. I'm not a very active participant in our work group study today. :chuckle: I think I'll be taking a nap after work then try to get out for a couple hours before dark.

2nd text just came in....he is still following tracks. looks like he is following along in some type of grassy little meadow, quiet pretty. Came across a broken tree limb that was not broken a little bit ago. Sounds like boo boo is circling around on him!

VirginMobile is awesome today, I have no service...Please PM me on here if he gets one.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

Will do. No new messages.....hoping it is going well. If he whacks one he is going to need some help. I'm busy with kids until 7: 30 but am free after that.

Ripper sent me pictures of fresh peels said he was on his trail.  I'm hoping he gets it done this weekend.   He sure has put the time in.
