Well, It was bound to happen sometime.....

After 10 successful hunts with all hunters bagging the biggest bucks of their lives to date, we came up short on this trip.
We had two shooting opportunities but just couldn't connect for the kill. (OK, Charlie missed..... we all miss). Charlie stated several times that we gave him the best opportunity he'd ever had at two trophy bucks.

The weather was extremely hot, 85 degrees, with 20 to 30 mph winds and the deer just didn't leave cover until the last 10minutes of shooting light. Plus all the crops were still standing, which is late for that part of the country.

We are trying to book a return visit for later this season. I'll keep you all posted and I'll post some pics later as well as update the financial report.

Thanks,
Steve
