A good redneck day for me
Posted: Fri Nov 14, 2008 12:17 am
I had a really good day on Tuesday Nov 11.
1)I shot a REALLY, REALLY big whitetail buck at 7:30 in the morning. The news spread like wildfire-especially since I had Mrs Spock get our kids from school to come and see it in the field. It was REALLY, REALLY big. I will have to post pics somewhere. It is a good sign when the taxidermist and other life-long hunters say that they have never seen a deer like that. It was REALLY, REALLY big. You know the Jeff Foxworthy joke-about "You might be a redneck if you have your taxidermist on speed-dial". Well, I don't know how to speed-dial-but I do have his phone number in my contact list on my cell.
2) I am still alive. I fired one shot at the deer from my stand. He dropped instantly-63 paces away. I was so excited-as I was climbing down from the stand I fell a number of feet with a loaded weapon. A big safety boo-boo and I won't do that again. That is how people die stupid. Plus-I did not hit my head.
3) I can still walk. The stand is home-made from an old farm implement and I landed on my lower back on a part of the metal trailer hitch. That is a good way to get paralyzed. I have a nasty bruise and I went for X-Rays today. Looks good and another lesson learned.
OK-I laid there for awhle-Figured out that I was alive. Then I thought OK-I am Paralyzed-but I at least I got a REALLY REALLY big deer first(I seriously thought that-both parts). I was very relived when I could move my legs. I called my 30-year deer hunting partner when I was still laying on the ground and said-you have to come out-I just got a REALLY REALLY big buck.
