Sorry it took so long to reply..ya know..werkin..inventory..watchin all the fellas go huntin while I spent the last 2 days countin..I really aint meanin to be rude..just busy.

As it turned out..the huntin Gods shone their rays upon me again..as a last ditch effort..I took off Thursday (to the disapproval of my boss & I told em to go to hell in a handbasket)
and while we aint have nowheres near enuf standers..it was fun as all git out. Seen ALOT of deer..dogs was cookin like gravy on Sunday mornin..and it was a beautiful day. Seen all kinds of game sides deer too. Deer count is still zero...but that's ok. All them farms I got to hunt was well werth it.

Hunted from daylight to dark on Thurs...came home with a slew of hilarious stories which I'll have to tell on another post (includin the one where we got lost) but was exhausted. Werked 12 hours yesterday and today doin inventory..so I still aint had time to catch up on my rest.

To answer yer question bout dogs skeet...it all depends on where/what/when and how the deer are drove. Alot of times deer will circle back with slower dogs and sometimes make fools outta dogs by sittin 20 feet from em. Bucks do that all the time. The dogs will take off on a doe and the buck'll lay there. I've shot a few nice bucks that way. Lots of times a deer will stay in a 500 acre thicket or in pines and run round in circles till they lose the dogs. My gittin lost story is the perfect example of what good dogs can do..maybe I'll post it tomorrow..I'm wore out tonite.

Ole Murphy best watch it tho..I still think I can kick his butt...I aint scarit
