Just like a "boy with a new toy", Roger was snapping digital photo's every chance he got. He'd then load them up in Tim Cosgrove's laptop computer and we'd view his work every day. Tim thought he'd come to camp and finish work on a chapter on arrows for a book and not hunt as much due to his foot surgery. Ah, good intentions waylayed by boys having fun. Well, at least we TALKED about Tim working on the writing project

Looks like fun guys. Good to see the dog in the pic, can't wait to get a beagle of my own soon. How do you find them for blood trailing, heard good and bad things about them, not enough to disuade me from wanting one however!

Roger Norris · November 09, 2006, 06:59:00 AM

We don't use her for blood trailing, just bear chasing;0)

Ron was using the deer in camp as a training tool to teach Dolly NOT to be interested in deer. She's a rabbit dog.

Hmmmm,
I think I need to keep my treestands away from the camp deer next year. :rolleyes:

Ray - I did see him putting an e-collar on your Lone Wolf stand.....

Archer 1 · November 10, 2006, 08:18:00 AM

Congrats Ron & all the Shrewhaven crew. No amount of money can buy memories like that. Some fine deer on the pole.
ps. Tell Dolly to keep up the good work.

Ron, I see you got your new knife with you. How did it work? That is one awsome knife.

Terry Green · November 10, 2006, 09:09:00 AM

Ya know, .....I alway look forward to this pic every year. Make a nice Christmas card wouldn't it?

Thanks for sharing your hunt with us again.

Those pics put me in the mind set of the old time deer camps. There are very few of them left. Thanks for the great pics.

DarkeGreen · November 10, 2006, 12:28:00 PM

Roger,

Looking at that picture makes me think it's probably harder to kill one from a tree. I'm use to seeing big broadside targets on level ground. An arrow in the sweet spot from that angle sure would be nasty though!

Jeff Hren-Renegade · November 10, 2006, 12:39:00 PM

Hey Ron thats A Real Nice Picture of Dolly!! She Looks Like a Top class Hunting Partner!!! Good Shooting guy's!

Roger Norris · November 11, 2006, 12:00:00 PM

DarkeGreen - I think I agree. I killed one from a t5ree and one from the ground that week. The treestand shot went in high on the left side, through the liver, out the opposite armpit, 1 lung. The deer only went 45 yards, but lots could have gone wrong. In contrast, the ground kill zipped through both lungs, perfect shot.

I have never been a "ground hunter", but I think I am changing my mind. I have determined one thing, a treestand shot is more dependant on great penetration than a ground shot....

I will be spending more time on the ground in the future.
