In a couple of years, he ought to be a shooter. ;D I don't think he looks that old. He is just a big deer. Assuming that it is a good picture of him, his belly isn't that big and his back is still fairly straight. A 4 1/2 maybe?

I have a couple Abu-Garcia Ambassadeurs that are over 20 years old that are still in good shape. I have a Shimano Bantam 100 that is about 25 years old and is in need of a couple of new parts but it took that long to wear it out. The Shimanos are still way overpriced but great reels. I don't care if I can buy one that lasts 30 years now. I still don't think a reel like the Calcutta should be $200+.

Hmmmm... maybe my eyes aren't what they used to be.

I have about 3,000 pictures on game cams since September and this last week I got a pic of an 8 and maybe a 10 point that I have not seen before. I think they are really starting to move into the rut.

I had a picture like that on a game camera about a week ago from Chester about 15 miles out of Woodville. I just chalked it up to being a coyote. I have seen some that looked like a wolf.

I don't think the deer were moving much this weekend in east Texas. Listening to the other leases surrounding ours on opening day usually sounds like a war zone. I think I heard 3 shots in the morning and two more in the afternoon. The other members of my lease didn't see much either and we have been seeing a lot on our game cams and when bow hunting recently. Either the deer just didn't move much or maybe some of the hunters have gotten a little wiser and quit shooting small deer in east Texas. My vote is for the deer not moving however. ;D

I let about a 2.5 year old nice 8 point slide by on Saturday afternoon. Maybe in a year or two he will be ready. I may kill a doe this afternoon if I get a shot at one. I have one more doe tag.

You bet it does. Mention that at McDonald's and for $1.59, they will give you a cup of regular coffee.

Not yet.

The good news is, after this week, it drops down to 2 games and 4 different scenarios.

;D

By maxpreps ranking, Kelly wouldn't just beat every team in this area, no team could even stay on the field with them. That just about cinches up any ideas I might have had of registering with maxpreps.

Who gets trampled at Waffle House?

They were lining him up for the kill.

I guess it beats taking Dick Cheney quail hunting.

What citation would they have given the guy, having a dog hunt without a license?

Only if you care about whether you get APPLAUD or smite.

Sounds like he is asking to be applauded.

I guess that means that some people are going to owe Coop some money. ;D

Everyone knows that you cannot guarantee a poll ranking by who beat who unless a team is undefeated and even then it is questionable. So what if Nederland is ahead of PN-G? If LC-M with only one win on the year would have upset Nederland last week, would that have made them a top 20 team in the state because Nederland held that ranking the week before? Does it mean that they are a better team overall? Not hardly on either account. What happens when a team that is 5-3 on the year beats the #1 team in the state? Does that team then become #1? But wait, if they are #1 and 3 other teams have beaten then already, then they are all at #1, right? But which teams have beaten them? It is impossible to figure out which team should be ranked higher strictly off of the results of a single game. The numbers just won't add up. Rankings are nothing more than opinions, as everyone knows. Losing to a team does not and should not mean that the winning team should be ranked higher. If it did, it would be impossible to put out a poll since teams have beaten and lost to different teams.

You didn't hear any whining or violins from me after PN-G won. All I said was good game Indians, the team that wanted it most won. ;D

I think it is unsportsmanlike and in poor taste.

I check it out on occasion.

Actually I think Stewart and Neumann have had very similar careers at their respective schools. Both schools had fairly week records before their current coaches came along and both have made the playoffs pretty much ever since they arrived.

I "think" that a player that steps out of bounds cannot recieve a direct pass. That does not take the player out of the play.
