A couple more NC rifle bucks
Dad’s hunting buddy Todd connected on his 2 best bucks of his hunting career.
First, on the evening after dad shot his great 8 pointer off the ground, dad returned the favor by helping him drag out this tall-tined 10 point. Rough scored right at 130.
Good thing about central NC is you have 2 buck tags.

Sorry to drag this out. I wish it was because I was deciding how to tell you that I arrowed a book P&Y on the last evening of the hunt. Truth is - I didn’t. Didn’t even see one.

Tiger Woods Was Not “Diverse” Enough In The Types Of Women He Chose To Sleep With
It is a sickness that has over swept this country. No, not infidelity! Political Correctness.

I think what one Washington Post writer [...]

Daily Devotional – Dec. 9
Bible Study Verse
James 3:5-6
Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole [...]

Casting Call for Marksmen With Big Personalities
So, I got this email yesterday afternoon. I’m not crazy about the whole reality show thing on television, in general, but this one is something I’d probably watch.
