Cerwin loved the view from his tree stand/sissy shack on Monday and took a few cell phone pictures.
While he enjoyed seeing several doe, a few small buck, a nice buck at a distance, squirrels, and turkey, I took a walk around the hotel and boat dock – also enjoying the beautiful weather.
You may remember that I planned to work on my counted cross stitch photo of our grandson Ian while Cerwin was hunting – and I did. This is what it looked like when we arrived in Osage Beach.
This is what it looks like now. The hotel was a perfect place to work on my stitching – as I sat in the lobby, visiting with other women and hearing from the hunters out in the field.
Shortly after 4:00 p.m. I received a text from Cerwin saying that he had an eight-point down.
It was not one that scored high, but he was pleased to be one of 49 hunters to get a buck. There were 171 hunters, so getting a buck on his first hunt with Whitetail Trophy Hunt made him quite happy.
Craig (co-owner of Whitetail Trophy Hunt) arrived very soon after Cerwin called in and took him to the slaughter-house.
Cerwin has been hunting since he was 15. He said he doesn’t remember ever having a better hunt.
Wonderful news! So glad he was successful and so glad that Cerwin had a good time — the most important part! Maybe this means y’all will come back to Missouri sometime and I’ll get to meet up with you again. Yay!
glad his hunt was successful!
Me too!
I think we will definitely go back to this hunt. Maybe in two years.
always good to have a happy husband ~ 🙂
For sure!
How exciting — not only a buck on his first hunt with this group, but even his best hunt ever! Have you picked out a place in your home yet for the rack?
His racks always go in the garage. 🙂
I have been telling Jim all about the hunt; sounds like something he would enjoy! I love your cross stitch!!!
Let’s go together in 2015! 🙂 Diana wants to go next year, so I think they will go to Kentucky where they were last year. (One of the ladies was working on a quilt in the game room on the first floor!)
