There are still some childhood memories so vivid, so clear, that even the tastes and smells come back. That’s rather amazing—given that I’m closer to 60 than 30 and I’m still having these childhood memories. That I can remember where I left the truck keys, much less childhood memories, is a small victory most days.…
Watching him grow since March really built up the anticipation for the 2018-19 deer season for me. When I say him, I am referring to a buck I like to call Obsession. As soon as he started growing his antlers back and I saw his uniqueness, the obsession began for me and he became my target buck…
