  2. Re: Got a Buck *Pic* [ QUOTE ] Congrats on a first bow buck IA! Did you just use the buck growl to grunt or did you actually use the growling part of the call? Pretty cool to see some first hand experience with this call. [/ QUOTE ] I Grunted first i heard him come runnning back then stopped out of range and i growled and thats when he stopped and i shot

  23. Well saturday morning 3 of my friends were driving and ended up hitting a tree. The driver and one of the passangers were unconicous and the other one climbed out the back window.... The ambulance got there and it took them 1 1/2 hours to cut the roof off of the truck to get them out of it... The driver was life-flighted to Loyola hospital he was in induced acoma (sp?) cause he was thrashing around when they were trying to get him in the helicopter he got home last nite and only has a concussion....The other passanger got a broken leg and is still in the hospital and needs to have surgery on his leg.... The kid that climbed out of the truck has cuts bruises everywhere....The scary thing is they called me a 1/2 hour before this happened to see if i wanted to go... and when i say these are my friends.. i mean they are my closest friends... so if u could please pray for Daivd(driver) Justin & Zach (passangers) Andrew

Open up the back door to accommodate my four wheeler, take out some seats and make a nice bunk area, take out others to make a dining/kitchen area.
