  1. Prayers sent, My sympathies...
  2. Great story ,well documented and one heck of a buck!
  3. Agreed! Love it here -wouldnt live anywhere else though!
  4. Ill add that at work sometimes im I get to do job interviews for the warehouse I work at. Most of them are young kids in their teens. I can tell within 5 minutes if the kid has had good disciplined raising or not. I wont go as far to say they are all bad either, cause weve had a few come through that mom and dad did a fine job with. These kids almost never miss work and do well with quality and quantity of work. You sure remember the ones that dont though. I believe some were raised by nintendo, and their bodies and minds show it!
  5. Nice one, I live just up the road from where you shot that one. Weve got folks comin here from every corner of the country this time of year. Aint you the ol' Knight muzzeloader guy?
  6. If you had your kids in the timber with you when they were litereally just weeks old. There still my best huntin buds!
  7. Im with ya on the sick feeling. It happens, but it always stinks. I wouldnt give up on expandables all together though. Rocky MT. makes great heads. Ive shot them for a long while with great results.
  8. Good luck and post pics. Ive shot a broadhead similar to Rage for about 10 years now. Rocky Mt. Gator heads. I wouldnt trade em' for nothin. Some of my entry/exit wounds over the years have looked like something from a horror flick.
  9. I pass on everyone im sure is a buck. Though at times hard to tell these little guys have a free pass in my book. Bucks for me dont fall until age 4.5. Nubbin heads better be on the look out for my kids though-this is there first year and all deer are tag qualifiers!
  10. If theres hunting pressure nearby-Hes big enough. Deer like that very seldom live another year in high hunter density areas. I pass up all kinds of deer, but that width would most likely be his demise in most areas. He may slip through the cracks though,who knows- Good luck regardless.
  11. Hope to have several more in the future. I would love to show yall the taxidermy shot!
  12. I noticed most of us "scent freaks" also have the biggest bucks in our avatars.
  13. Nice pictures, well focused and clear. Must have a nice zoom lens. Yall have some nice brow-tines on your side of the river. We got some giants too, but its tough to come by those 8" brows. Thanks for postin em'...
  14. Im nutty about scent control. I spray down everything with scentaway advanced and let it dry before heading out. I wear rubber boots and leave my clothes out in the timber behind the house on the line during hunting season. I will wash all clothes pre-season in a mix of bakin soda and scent-free laundry detergent. I even brush my teeth with bakin soda before each hunt. I dont use carbon suits of any kind, but I do use a base layer of Visa endurance. I very rarely get busted, but more importantly I dont burn out standsites by overhunting them. Im prolly even more nutty about that then scent control!
  15. Good luck with round 2. Been down that road myself. I gotta horse that loves my sweetcorn. Hes one step away from getting his name changed.... to ALPO.
  16. Not pumped at all..Couldnt care less...nope not one bit... Whatever! Heck yeah- I have had the "disease" for goin on 25 years now and I dont see it goin away till im worm food.
  17. He'll be over 150 for sure by the time hes done growin. A good one for sure. I like the split g3 on the right side. Good luck with him.
  18. Do yall ever see the Likes of Bill or Micheal on here? Just curious, Ive been at primos for a while and none of the Primos fellas ever show up on the forums. Im not sure why an occasional visit is too much to ask,but whatever its their choice. This had prolly been asked on here before im sure.... Thanks!
  19. Sick of hearin about it. Couldnt care less. Much more important issues to focus on like Oh I dont know...Our national economy still in the tank and there are still thousands of jobless americans. Popculture just isnt my thing. Call me old fashioned or just plain old, but When famous people die and the media explodes on It shuts me off.
  20. Live and Hunt In Schuyler. Have hunted in McDonough,Pike,Hancock,Fulton,Morgan and couple others in west central IL.
  21. Top red, consider him dead. Pumpstation disconnect complete. Crimson trail leads to glory. Elbow deep in the cavity- only thing hold'n me to the ground is gravity!
  22. Ouch! Yeah they got some of my sweet corn in the bottom this year. I was tilling up my corn plot tonight-better late than never I guess. Frustrating to see hard work go to waste though....
  23. Yep gotta get some cages, I planted them in high numbers for mortality. Walnuts in the pic, but im in a tree/shrub program. Planted about 2300 last year and around 600 this year. Oaks (pin and Red),white pine,cedar,plum,black chokecherry, silky dogwood, elderberry,hazelnut and on and on.. Labor of love though really!
