Good luck guys. There are few feelings better than that anticipation you get when looking at your vehicle all packed for a long hunting/road trip that is about to begin with good friends.

Jeff or should I call you "Pops"?, I'm a little late on this but just wanted to wish you and "Gramps" aka Rob good luck this weekend. I'm sure you guys will have a great time. I'm sure Gramps is probably half way there by now or at least close to it. That's great you do that for that family. If I ever have any extra meat I donate it to FHFH. But usually that doesn't happen because I end up having to give some to my brother, mom and dad, and my in-laws, so by that time not much is left over. But I have donated in the past.
Good Luck guys, go git'em!!!!!!

Hey....it's Northwestern NC....and I can ASSURE you we won't be having any "Big Buck" pics to throw all over the place! This is just a couple of friends getting together to pass some time. We'll hunt, alright....but the largest racked deer I've seen all year wouldn't go 100". I've got PLENTY of 1-1/2yr old 60" deer, though!!! I've seen....oh....19 TOTAL, this year...lol (bucks). I've seen over 150 deer on stand in 25 sittings, though.....so we should be seeing some deer.
I've got a little mission, for us. One of my co-workers is a Boy Scout Leader. He has a few scouts that are part of a TWELVE KID family. We donate our son's hand-me-downs to them every year.....and they're very appreciative of anything we give them (which WE do, anonymously). I asked, recently, if they'd take venison....and they will, gladly. I want to get them one this weekend....and get it on film. I've never been on either side of the camera, hunting.....but I think the eyepiece side is in order...being as how Rob's doing all the driving and license purchasing. We'll see how it goes.
We're gonna eat good.....drink a few....and probably sit back and realize how blessed we are when it's all over. And Ashley, my dog, will probably get her ears rubbed.
Full report from both of us.....later.
