Had the enema X-Ray today and my colon surgeon also shoved his damn scope up me to see how the resection is healing. All looked great so I will be getting reconnected Nov 17th. He said I will be in the hospital 2 to 3 days after. Could have done it earlier but that would have screwed up deer season for me.

It is imperative that I blow away a deer and have venison in the freezer. This gives me 4 days to kill one. It’s a big thing in our family as my 2 sons and 1 grandson also deer hunt.

    Pepe,
    There is a 12 pointer hanging around here. Would be just as pleased to get a nice fat doe.

    They be Whitetail
    Leslie darlin,

    The Ozarks area is whitetail country. They are planing to put some elk down this way.

    Our deer are smaller then the corn/bean fed ones in nothern Missouri. They eat just as good. I love deer chili. I got a part mule deer up north 20 years back. He was big. Had the very big/wide nose.

    Hunting
    Yep...... I'm a hunting widow from Oct. to Jan. It gets so bad at my house that the only way I get sex is to strap on a rack, cover me with doe-in-heat and do some grunt calls... and yes...you bet your sweet arse I do!!! Hubby bow, shotgun and black powder hunts. In many different areas...from the back 20 to Canada to Colorado. That is where he is now and just took down a 5x5 elk. His 3rd. Many record bucks including Illinois State, Pope & Young, and Boone & Crockett. Good news on the plumbing Kerry!!! You take care.

    I prefer

    I prefer shooting a box of White Castles or Ring-Dings
    and buying my meat at the butcher's.

    "They just stand there with their big brown eyes, asking
    why..... why me..... as they fall dead into the cold, wet snow."

    BANG !



    I'm a gun owner, but never hunted. I'm saving my ammo for
    a special reason, just as that voice in my head told me to!




    Good deal with the reports, Ker! Better days to come!

    Good deal
    Glad to hear all is well and on schedule for the reconnect, but whatever will we do without the bag stories!

    Do you ever make deer jerky? My dad makes some every year from deer he hunts and his greatgrand kids love it.

    Best of luck with the hunting and the reconnect.

    Woo Hoo!
    On the reconnection. Really, whatever will we do without the colorful bag stories? I'm sure you can come with reconnection stories enough to keep us entertained through the end of the year and more. I'm so happy for you.

    Hey Kerry,

    Hey Kerry,
    Good news on the reconnect.
    I was thinking about you the other day. My folks live in the woods right on the edge of the Yadkin River. They've got about five acres of bottom land that's open with several walnut trees. One of the walnut trees died a few years ago; so my son, dad and I cut it down and sawed it up for fire wood. It was great to run a chain saw for the first time since all the cancer **** began. My dad's got a Kubota compact tractor and he and my son Owen -4 yrs old - drive it all over. Owen can warm it, crank it up, set the throttle where he wants it, steer, operate the bucket control, engage the PTI ect. I think if he could reach the peddles, we could just sit back and watch him tcb.

    Anyway, I guess the vibrations of the saw really got my system moving, and MR. Dribbles filled the bag in a flash. We're out in the middle of nowhere, so the only option was to wander off behind a tree. You got me thinking about overalls a while back, and I have to thank you for that. They are the only comfortable piece of clothing I've worn in a year. No belt line. However, overalls make emptying the pouch a little more challenging - lots of kneeling, stooping, flinging etc. I'm getting to be a pro at this stuff and got everything taken care without too much trouble. I thought about you and I just had to shake my head and laugh about the crap we have to deal with.

    ? for you - What will you do if you have to empty the bag when you're up in the stand? It won't be that difficult, but it might give the deer something else to smell and be wary of. On the other hand, the smell might make them curious.

    Take care - Roger

    Bambi syndrome
    John,
    My friend, a lot of folks suffer from the Bambi syndrome. I always ask those folks if, when they see a cattle truck on the interstate, do they really think the cows are on their way to 6 Flags to enjoy the rides for the day? We take pride in making a quick kill.

    nothing better then operating a tractor
    Roger,

    There is nothing better then operating a tractor for young or old men.

    The best garb I have found is jeans with suspenders. I just unzip - roll up the shirt tails and the suspenders keep them in place.

    HA!
    If you or anyone has watched that silly, stupid movie My Cousin Vinny, Marisa Tomei goes into a rant about killing a deer. It makes me laugh every time. John's first part of his post made me think about it. :D

    Growing up, the domestic butcher would come out and bring his gun. We loved watching him. He was one skilled marksman. We didn't stand a chance of Bambi syndrome. We ate a lot of elk and deer growing up. I still love it.

    Good to go!! I'm sure you're ready to be back to "normal".

    Is there a normal? I have a "normal" on my washing machine. I have a feeling that is the only 'normal' there is. :)

    Love and Hugs
