 Carolina ramblings continued...this time in NC
Story to come soon...
Just got back from NC, hunted with great friend Chris R. I was fortunate to be the first one to hunt one of his new ladder stand sets when this dude came slipping around the hardwood ridge heading to his bedding area. i was ready with the .270 and chris got it all on film. this is my biggest NC buck to date and i am darn proud of him! Thanks again Chris. we hunted the remainder of monday and saw nothing...fought the wind and cold on tuesday and saw 1 doe and 1 small buck and then had a gorgeous morning to hunt today - frigid cold and no wind...passed up 5 bucks and saw several does.
...where he fell...
...me with Chris, who AGAIN made it all possible...
...another blessed day to be privileged to be afield

Congrats, El D!
I know that trip was a success the moment you got out of the truck . . . and then you got to take that pretty, symmetrical boy too. What's your secret?
