[Nov 7, 2013] The Rut (Harrison county, Ohio)

[Buckrun]

I think everybody with a bow ought to go out and sit in the woods and take a long walk in northern America. The rut is on! It is fabulous with the fall colors and crisp fall air! I'm hunting my property, but also taking slow speed putts on trails and roads that just boggle the mind with the fall beauty! This past weekend, I have seen spectacular battles between bucks. Watched it for 20 mins or more! Flocks of turkeys! A bobcat nailing a bunny at dusk. GTFO! Awesome!
Do you ever stop and see something and say, "That's cool as fuck!"? And you take a picture with your mind, and you remember it forever? Holy shit! I had lots this past weekend! For me, it just makes everything trying in your present life dissolve. Life is good!

I do. This one time I was just clicking off fifth gear on my KX500 racing up dead cow wash during the BtoV race in 87. As I click her in to 5th, I hit a boulder and the bike bucked me over the bars and I went flying through the air. As I was flying through the air in slow motion, I said "this is cool as fuck, I'm going to break myself when I land". I didn't but I put a gnarly dinger in the back rim so bad that you could see out the other side. That's when I said " Holy Shit!" And I have that captured in my mind forever.

awesome story Buck and glad to see you out and enjoying yourself again.

Yup, I have a few things... 2 while hunting, 1 while riding

* 1 hunting pheasant in Pixley Ca... (RACK??) - almost stepped on the phucker, it took off just to the left of my left foot and sounded like a phrickin helicopter... YES, I bagged it for 2 reasons... 1 for the obvious, because that's what I was there for and 2 for scaring the phuck out of me!
* 1 hunting dove in Blythe Ca. - I popped one out in front of me coming towards me, if I were thinking fast enough I could have caught it in my vest pouch
* 1 while riding - reported on it once on this forum... riding my bros 72 Husky 400 when I was racing my buddies, I gassed it through a wash, launched it pretty good seemed like a life time when the rear end dropped out from under me and thinking the same thing CDA was (Ohhhh this is gonna leave a mark... once I hit the ground the biuke bounced up, did a couple flips and landed in a bush... I landed on the side of my hip, blew out the seem of my pants, bounced around like a rag doll but nothing hurt... ........

I think a lot of us have some of these types of memories, I know I do. Something about flying through the air seems as though it is always in slow motion.

I'm an early model and don't have the the USB port behind the ear. But I keep kicking myself in the ass for not bringing my iPhone with me when I venture into the hinterlands. I will make a point to do so. I have 3 points I need to keep secure . Phone, keys, wallet. Losing any of them puts me in the box. So I secure them at the cabin before shit happens and I lose one. I'll have to look into another means of doing this.

Happy days! I got a new job and making good coin! That makes the fall colors a little more vibrant and the beers taste a little more deserved!

Cheers!

Humm those are the three things that I never leave anywhere without and always have on me.

Double post means double kill

I double "liked" it!

Hence Bucks inference to lose 1 of those and he's "IN THE BOX"... ...

I must be living right...

In my first full week in my new job, (heavy equipment sales) I made more coin than I did in a month at my previous job!

Plus, I hit on a nice MILF customer of mine. She's a fitness freak with big natural fun bags. Taking her out to dinner and drinks tonight!

If I have to sacrifice a day of hunting this weekend afterwards, .....OK!

It's funny how quickly things can change in your life. This past May, I almost died and had my heart ripped out of my chest. This November, I'm kicking ass in a new job and (hopefully) banging a new chick tonight!

Life is good!

Oh your still hunting this weekend. You're just shooting at a different target!
