There's a Velvet Elvis joke in here somewhere....

Turns out that the anniversary of Elvis' untimely demise falls each year right next to the opening day of deer season. I've tried all day, but can't come up with a witty one liner that ties in our velvet season. Any ideas out there?

Speaking of velvet, here's a great one taken last night by Henry Fischer of Florida:

This great 11-point had a 17 1/2 inch spread! And get this, it wasn't the biggest of the 35 or so deer that he saw last night. The largest of the bucks never stepped out for a decent shot. One more view:

Our hunters also harvested an additional 4 deer and 4 hogs. Here's one of the hogs:

2006 Turkey Harvest

  • 042706johnk
    This year's turkey season was our best one to date! We had fabulous spring weather and our hunters enjoyed an unparalled level of success. We also had more than a few near misses, which made for VERY entertaining stories around the campfire. Our 'turkey fever' is worse than ever!
