Mike P you are a machine with putting out great reads.

Is there any where else I can find your writings?

I dont know about north of the border but the second rut here in Illinois usually starts right around christmas.

Great Story Mike P !!!! Every time i see a thread that you start I know I am in for a treat. Your talent just blows me away. But I have to admit I am so jealous of where you live and hunt. The normal hunter just does not see much less harvest the bucks that you do! I think it is the perfect storm. A...

I will pray for your daughter saxman. She is bound to get well with all the prayers she is receiving from members of this forum.

Now that is some mass!!!

Great Buck!

Thats a good sized Yote!
