This is my favorite time of the year.....the leaves are changing colors, the air is getting cooler and huntin' season is just around the corner.
We just got back from the annual Trailfest Event at The Hatfield & McCoy Trials in Gilbert, WV and I've gotta say, this year was the best it's ever been! Very organized and tons of new people attending. It's always a good time for us because of all the nice people we get to meet and hang out with. We hosted the "Fisher's Mud Run" again this year at Trailfest and there's no doubt, when it comes to mud, people get CRAZY!
Now that we're done with Trailfest, it's time to change gears and focus my time and energy on hunting season.
I'm heading back to Missouri again for my annual bow hunt and plan on taking down a big one! I told my wife, Melissa, that this is my year.....I already took not one, but two turkeys this past Spring (and let me add this was my first turkey ever and I'm getting both of them mounted) and now it's time for that MONSTER wall hanger! She's gonna be real happy because I'm gonna have her some new decor for our living room!
Last year I came so close but just couldn't close the deal. I had a monster come in at 20 yards the second day we were there. I drew back and had him in my sights but when I asked my camera man if he was on him, he said "I can't see him in the camera. It's too dark". And I had to let him walk.... Two days later I had the same buck come in and wouldn't come any closer than 65 yards...too far of a shot to take with my bow. Jeff Lampe from Cocoon Solutions and his friend Bill Wise have already called me and told me they are seeing some monsters out there. I'm getting fired up!
Best of luck to all of you hunters out there this season and I'll keep you posted on my score card!
