It has been a great year so far

I was fortunate to have pulled two tags (pronghorn, deer) on my friend's ranch outside of Hugo. I got my pronghorn on the morning of opening day. I got my deer 1/2 hour after the season opened up. Even better, I witnessed my friend harvest his first ever big game animal on his own ranch (he has taken many trophies around the country). It was an amazing experience that I will never forget. I will try to post pictures; they have been tough to upload, however.

Here is a cool video of my friend, Gary Ruppel with a new puppy.

Thanks guys. Agree on both fronts. Ready for my first bird hunt with Pride in a couple of hours. Can't sleep in a motel. Reports are not positive - talked to a lot of people. Hope it is not worse than last year. Hunt well all.
