Yesterday, while looking for something I badly needed, I cam across my rattling antlers. I have not used them in a couple years. Assuming a 17" spread, I figure they would score about 130. Now here is the odd part. I cannot remember when or where I killed him. I remember cutting them off and removing the brow tines but not where I killed him. And, in the process of trying to remember, I forgot what I was originally looking for. Now that, is a sure sign of old age. If I can recall what time we are leaving, I am going fishing this morning.

By the way, you were looking for my truck keys, let me know if you find em??

Some guys claim they sound better if you soak them in water, because the theory is there is more moisture in the antler when it is on top of a deer's head then when you use it much later...

I doubt a deer cares if they have been soaked in water or not, provided they have notbeen left out in the weather and gotten all white and old looking.

I can relate. RECENTLY had a full blown meltdown
Friday evening I was scouting for turkeys for the Saturday youth opener in maryland. I got back to my truck after dark and could not find my keys. LOOKED and looked then panicked. Crawled under truck in dark with no flashlight and finally found my hide a key. YOU guessed it they were right on top the gas cap where I put them. FOR the life of me I cannot remember putting them there. THINK I will just leave them in the ignition and the truck unlocked. The thought of my truck being stolen is less stressful than going through the lost key episode again. AND I'm only 52.

Was gonna reply but got sidetracked looking for the last 4 Easter eggs I hid. Thinking maybe the dogs ate 'em. Now what was the question again?
