Been a while...

With out boring everyone with a bunch of messy details, I'll try and keep this short. Many of you know I got divorced a few years ago. Well, I will just say, its been rough. Its been over 4 years now and I'm still fighting for equal placement with my kids. Wisconsin laws are messed up, and thats putting it mildly. I started a new job still working corrections but on a farm running a maintenance crew. Its a pretty good gig. I still hunt and fish but, it has been severely impacted by the schedule with the kids as is and my just losing interest. Divorce is a tough thing to have to go through. It actually starts to slowly kill ya.

So, enough about that crap. Its great to see many of the same faces here. I missed you guys. Hopefully I can catch up on the last few years. Btw, are they killing any big bucks in Ohio yet?

Good to hear from you Randy. Hate to hear about your marital situation, hope it all works out soon for you.

I hit one too far back Tuesday afternoon at 4:30pm, left my stand at 5:30pm and went home. Got back out there Wednesday morning at 7:30am, hoping to find him bedded somewhere close and dead, to no avail. I found my arrow, covered in blood and poop, but not an ounce of blood on the ground. Walked for almost 9 hours looking for him with nothing to show for it. Working today, but I'm heading back out tomorrow to continue the search...

I feel for you man. Keep succeeding like you have been. I'm a firm believer in things happen for a reason. As for big bucks, I couldn't tell you. Like you, my hunting life has been impacted by school, job and keeping up with my kids. I must admit my fervor for hunting is waning also, for numerous reasons, mostly for the good. :D Hang tough!

I would say welcome back but it has been a while since I have been on. No real excuse except life getting in the way of fun stuff. My oldest went to Army basic training so it is a lot quieter around here. I have been hunting the past few years but it doesn't look too good this year. I hope things calm down for you and you get to hunt this year. Maybe we can get a few more back and make this the "welcome back" thread.

Randy, I went through the big D (not Dallas- LOL) a couple years ago. It went as well as a D can go I suppose. No lawyers, and no custody issues. Heck she recently stopped the vegetarian nonsense, started eating deer meat, and we even date on occasion. Anyway, glad glad you're killing big deer again - and YES - Tom was just saying how much bigger the bucks are in Ohio and that everyone needs to hunt there and thin them out!
