everybody in my hood gets along ok

I have or had four bucks running around here. A five point. a four point, a spike and a big boy that moves so much I have never really got a count. He looks to be a nine point or bigger. He is really spooked and never stands still.

My son has a tree stand set up and has been wanting a shot at the big boy but with all the gun fire going off in my area it is hard to say how many of them are still around. I like deer meat and do take one occasionally but try to be selective as to what I shoot. I almost hate to do it but feel it is only fair. They eat my garden all the time so think if I feed them they can feed me once in a while.

i understand what your saying i come from a family of hunters and all for it if done the right way.when i did hunt i didn't try to get them to be friendly with me so to speak,also i have lost the taste for the meat.
i think my mother will get a pack of meat from her brother if she does and makes some i will eat it some
i think the last time i was out i shot one at 9:30 in morning didn't get back in until around 4 pm. field dressed just me gun, deer and alot of hills and country side dragging it in.i missed my thanksgiving dinner.

the big one the other night did get me excited some but not enough to want the meat

We have these guys come by two evening is a row. The first night there where three of these young guys in the front yard and a huge one in the back yard. I wish I had gotten a picture of the big one.

You gotta love living in the country.

The older I get, the more I wish I lived on a nice big piece of land in the country, instead of this smog ridden hell hole. Beautiful land, gentlemen.

Anybody heard from Pud? Sent him a PM awhile ago and he hasn't read it. Anybody know his name? Hope all is well.

Pud has not been on line for almost year and I have not heard from him either. I do have have his name and address, but I cannot share it without his permission.

Maybe you can contact him and see if all is well. I have wondered about him too.

It's been a rough couple years.
I lost my dad in Oct this year.
We were close.
June this year had another hip replacement then in November had another knee replacement.
I haven't had buggy started this year or even been around it.
Also I never had rhino out this year either.
I'm doing fine just been taking time for myself
Sorry should have stayed in touch
.

Pud, good to see you're ok but really sorry to hear about your dad.

Sounds like it's been a rough year for you and hoping the next year goes a little better.

Pud , you were really missed!!!
Sorry things went sour for ya,but better days are coming!
Glad you're back!👍

Thanks guys! I'm going to try to pop in more.i probably should have sooner but was also burnt out too and needed to take care of some things.
Today just made a month on new knee.
This coming spring need to go over rhino good belt, rollers and everything.
I may hit a trail or two the last ride I did was Sept 2016 I knew than it was time to stop for a while.my dad's health also got worse wanted stay close by.

Hey Pud. Glad to hear you're hanging in there. Sorry to hear about your dad, that's gotta be tough. Hope you're joints heal up quick. Don't be a stranger. This place is better off with you around.

Pud, sorry to hear about your dad. When your close to them it is hard to get around that for a while. But glad to see your back and hope the knee heals quickly. My wife had hers done a few years ago and gets around a lot better now it just takes time.

Sorry for your loss.

It is nice to hear from you.

Thanks guys I appreciate it.
I did look at my buggy other day I think fall 2016 was last time I started it.
It had a little gas in it with stabilizer in it.
One day I will see if she still starts lol
A lot of new faces or names but not much action like there used to be.lol

Pud, a lot have moved on to bigger and better and thus went to other sites. There are still a few of us old timers that still hang on. We held a Back to Our Roots ride this last September and it reminded us why we got into this sport. It was a Chinese only buggy ride as a lot of us still had one or two still sitting around. I feel it was a success and most of us had a ball. It looks like it may become an annual event. It sure brought back a lot of memories.
