First Rub of The 2013-2014 Season

Donna's 10/13 Doe

She will be 52 years old Nov 28th and I bet she will be still putting deer on the ground when she is 62. Sure am proud of my wife she has killed a lot of deer since we got married 33 years ago and enjoys it as much today, as she did way back when. She harvested this deer this past weekend while hunting in Kentucky. Now she is waiting on a buck !!!! 

10 /14 buck

Not yet a shooter. Will be in just a few more years.

Two Fawns

Please make sure before you shoot ya doe she doesn't have any fawns with her. As you can see as of Oct 2 these two still had spots. They may be able to eat , but they still need their mother to protect them.

Strange Picture

I am not sure what this is but I think it is a hog???

His Return

As a young boy I would anticipate Thanksgiving morning with great excitement.  Our family would travel to Westville, a small rural town in North West Florida, off of old Hwy 90.  It was somewhat of a tradition in my young years to spend Thanksgiving morning hunting with my Dad and his brother, my Uncle Von.  My cousin and I would follow them through the swamps and slews off the Choctawhatchee River.  This particular Thanksgiving morning was no different than any other.  That was till my Dad sat my cousin and me down under a large tree and said, “I need you to sit right here and don’t get up till I return to get you.  If you start moving around I will never find you in this swamp.”  I’ll never forget those words.  My cousin and I were left there under that big tree with a single shot 22 and as we waited we could hear our Dads’ shot guns blasting in the distance.  They were harvesting “acorn ducks” or you would know them as “wood ducks”.  They returned to get us just as they said they would and I must say I was glad to see them reappear through those woods.

Our Heavenly Father has done the same thing.  He ascended into Heaven after His resurrection, but He left instruction on what we needed to be doing till His return.  It is up to us, under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, to be busy fulfilling the great commission till His return.  I am afraid most of us are sitting under a big tree just waiting.

 

Scripture of the Month:

Matthew 28:19 – Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

 

Thought of the Day:

Think about spending time with someone hunting this year with the intent to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with them.

 

Hunting Tip of the Month:

This tip is only for those men who are brave enough to ask...

You may need to ask your wife to remove all her smell good soaps and shampoos from the shower.  Let me know how that goes for you...

Yours In Christ
