Nice.

On the darker side.

POACHING #@$%^_^&$'s!!!

I got shot at last night.

I'm not going into details for a couple of reasons, but here is the gist.

I'm in a tree stand, at least 1/2 mile from any road, on the remotest corner of a farm, adjoining the farm of the Buckasaurus. I see a 12 point buck, that HAS to be a 2 1/2-31/2 son of the Buckasaurus. He's wide and has potential to be huge, but needs another year or two, so I let him go at dusk.

I get out of my tree, put on my backpack and begin walking down the fence row for the 3/4 mile walk to my truck. I make it about 150 yards and I hear a BLAM! and see a muzzle flash. I see a silouette of a pickup, that had driven back in the field with no lights, sitting 50 yards from my tree and had just shot in my direction.

Needless to say...I'm pissed off....really, really, foaming at the mouth pissed off. I have a decision to make.....stomp back up the hill alone, with a bow to a gunfight and at least 2 guys, or double time it to my truck, where I know my brother will be joining me soon.

I choose that option, in my wiser years.

We get there and he is saying "WTF was that, and it was close"...I'm explaining as we get in the truck to drive around the dirt road to that field to confront the MF's. They're gone when we get there.....but sure enough, the buck I'd let go, is lying dead 100 yards from my tree, and was in a direct line between myself and where those poaching C#$#UCKERS were. They'd driven off.

I wasn't sure what to do at that point, so I penned a note for the asshole, worthy of a rant here....and stabbed it on the horn and left to get my brother's vehicle and decide what to do. Sure enough, as we watch, we see the truck going back into the field, just long enough to have loaded it. I had to be gone really early today and haven't been back to see if they took it, cut its head off or left it.

I wish my note had said "Hi Guys, We're watching you and will Greet you at the gate, Love DNR" just so they might Brown note in their leotards.

I pretty sure I know who it was, and this story is not completed.

I'm not happy for alot of reasons.
