Well, I bought it when I was 12 years old. ;D

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.
