Horse: the Good, the Bad, the Ugly - by Linda K. Burch - "My
hand oozed out from under the covers and I initially smacked the snooze
button. Then I remembered that this was Saturday. My first bear bait station,
stocked one week ago, was awaiting my discovery two hours north.
Leaping from bed, I packed 100 additional pounds of bear bait and my own
supplies for the day." New article in Womenbowhunters.com.

Shoot? Pass? or Wait? #9
This last bow season I took
this picture while I was bowhunting at the Buck's Alley stand. I took several
pics of these 4 deer -- two does and two young bucks -- as they browsed
around my area. Later, when I saw this particular pic I thought, "This
is excellent for Shoot? Pass? or Wait?" The deer are 10-15 yards from the
stand. Look at each deer individually and judge for yourself if you have
a shot at it or not. Select (800x600)
or (640x480)

While
you are scouting for wild hogs you find a clearing in the dense cover that
looks promising. It has plenty of fresh wild hog rooting. You set up a
ground blind inside the edge of the brush and wait to see what happens.
An hour before dark you hear faint grunting sounds in the brush. The grunts
get louder and soon a group of wild hogs walks out of the brush. Right
in front of you !!! Let's
Go Hog Hunting!!! 
As
you may or may not know, I had technical difficulties downloading the pictures
from one of my digital cameras during the Rancho Del Zorro deer hunt. But
problems vanish when there is a good ending. I reinstalled the sowftware
and, bingo, the pics made the electric hop right out of that camera into
my computer. Missing Photos - Day
1 & Day 2
