The Elusive Whitetail

The trip to Talladega cut into some of my bow season here in Vermont this year but I was able to get out 4 times. I almost made a 5th but the wind was blowing so hard the tree my stand is in almost went down. Some tops off the other trees snapped so I figured that was my cue to exit. With age comes wisdom. Actually not, I just wanted to live to hunt another day. I will be off to Northern Maine in about 2 weeks to chase the big elusive whitetail bucks that tip the scales at over 200 pounds and sport some nice headgear to boot. Doing things a bit different this year. I'm actually going to try to sit in a stand all day (usually I do a lot of hiking) and I am only bringing my TC encore pro hunter with the muzzleloader barrel. My 72 year old friend Dean thinks I am absolutely nuts. I'm going to stick to my guns (no pun intended) and follow through with my plan. Hunting to me is not only about harvesting an animal but everything involved in a hunt. I want to succeed on my terms. I may come back empty handed and with a crying towel but I am prepared for it. Keep on rollin Posse. Take care and God bless.

Special Thanks to Posse Member Gene

Just a quick note to give a special thanks to posse member Gene from Talladega for making us feel welcome during our recent visit. He stopped by and visited with us for hours and we shared many a hunting story. Even got to look at a photo album of some exciting hunts Gene has been on. Especially want to thank him for the venison steaks and seasonings he brought by for us to cook on our little tailgate stove. Made for 2 wonderful breakfast. These are the kinds of relationships we would like to develop with all the posse members throughout the country. If I get time off Gene has invited me down for a hunt. That there is southern hospitality at its best. Thanks again Gene. I am proud to call you friend.

Talladega Redneck Capital of the World....Not

Hey folks. Talladega is over and I have to say that I am disappointed to say that I was mistaken that Talladega is the Redneck capital of the world. Sure there were obviously lots of Nascar fans around but not the run of the mill person I had expected. We watched for hours as $300,000 or more motor homes towing SUV's and golf carts paraded by. People were saying how bad the economy is but you couldn't prove it by me this past week. We had a lot of positive response to our product and made quite a few sales but even the Nascar memorabilia vendors didn't do all to well either. What I want to know is where are all my Posse members at. Maybe Charlotte? I don't know. I am beginning to think we are a dying breed. I hope people prove me wrong. If you are a Posse member, rise on up and give me a holla. I'm truthfully loud and posse proud. We are in Mobile for a couple of days and then heading back north. Alabama is a beautiful state. It is a definate contender on the list for a relocation to warmth. That's it for tonight. Talk at ya when I return. God bless.
