Well as most of you probably know, it is right in the heart of deer season. The Laws have had a pretty good year so far. My dad shot a buck (9pt) and a doe in archery, Jason shot a buck (8pt) with his new Knight inline muzzleloader, and today I shot a buck with my tried and true Winchester 30-30. I hunted the first day and saw 39 deer, 6 of which were buck. I tried my luck at being a trophy hunter, I figured it must be in my blood, so I passed up all the deer I saw. Today, for some reason, I just couldn't let this little 7 point get by. Possibly more entertaining than the hunt was my beautiful wife's reaction to the kill. I called her on the telephone and said, "Did you get my message? I shot a buck this morning?" Her reply, "Yea, how big was he?" "Oh" I said, "he was just a little sev......... "No", she interrupts, "how big, how much meat?!" Gotta love a country girl!!! Don't worry sweetheart, I still have a doe tag.

WOW...those are some beauties. Our men in Cook Forest were all about the LADIES this season. Not a buck among them.
I cracked up at Lara's response. So typical of us. You couldn't beat the "Grace Practicality" out of us with a stick.
Congrats on your nice buck! Your brother and Dad didn't do too bad, either, did they?
