The Kid Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 this morning i went out with high hopes knowing that the rut is on,, seen a little six grunted him in and had some fun playing with him,, well when i decided to get down from my tree i went to go step on a branch and slipped and fell about 15 ft from the ground,, i hit a foot peg with my arm on the way down left a pretty good mark and cut me a bit,, but what i was more mad about it my scent lock coat got ripped in the process,, i think my mom can fix it though,, now i have to go take a history test with a bum right arm,,I hope you all stay safe out there in the woods!!!!
