Deer Hunt and a vivid memory - NOT



Here is a similiar story like Kenrick and Bruce pull out of their butt...

Ok Bruce - start pulling out the details on this one - we got up at 4:21am as we smelled the coffee brewing in the old trailer at Boggy Creek. I noticed the smell of puntang in the air as I made my way to the breakfast table. Mrs. DeBoest had made the standard compliment of scrambled eggs and bacon which we devoured. We headed out to the blind in the brown '83 four wheel drive Toyota. Powell and I waited in the blind and I remember the sun rising what seemed to be a little south of where I would have expected at that time of the year. Then out of the wood next to a rather large palmetto bush came the black pig with the deer right next to him. They seemed to be morning grazers to this area frequently. I slowly got my rifle in position as did Powell. We both shot simulatneously and they both dropped after several feet of running. We ran out to get the deer and pig and noticed how his little tail curled over three times which I thought was pretty cool at the time. We loaded up the truck and headed back to the camp - but we took the long path home instead of the way we arrived for we wanted to see how the other areas looked. The pig weighed in at just 84 pounds and the deer at 105 pounds. We headed back to the fort that night for I had an Algebra test on solving two equations with two unknowns and I had to study for it. Boy those were good times.


There is really only one part of the story that i can tell you about and that is the date on the back of the photo... Shark - buy you a beer if you are within threee months of the date....
