Well, I got home from my camping trip, a little sunburned, a lot tired, and very dirty. It was 107 degrees when I broke camp yesterday. Yeah, but it’s a dry heat. Right.
Anyway, I came home and as I relaxed on this holiday day, I got a phone call from an unfamiliar area code. Turns out, it was John Martin, a fellow California hunter and Skinny Moose Network blogger. John writes the Western Wanderer blog, and like me, he’s been taking advantage of the early CA hunting season to chase blacktail deer.
Ya’ll may remember my recent post about my little-bitty blacktail a couple weeks ago. Of course I’m not a trophy hunter anyway. I prefer the meat, so small bucks are as welcome to me as a larger one. Point being, yeah, I shot a bitty buck… but it was tasty.
Well, John informed me that he’d just taken his A-zone buck this past weekend. I waited for the news that he’d just smoked a bruiser. Surprise! He informed me that, as of now, I retain the Big Buck honors for the entire Skinny Moose network. No one else on the whole network has killed a deer as big as mine for the 2007-2008 season.
Hmmm.. I wonder if I can hold this honor for the whole year?
Nice take!
