One happy thing after another!  I’m still flying high from Conners guided turkey hunt and already more good things are coming down.  My credit card was hit for the amount of a deer tag, so that pretty much assures I’ll be packing a rifle on the muzzy hunt this fall!  But better than that, No Grimace and Baby Boy have just announced that No Grimaces’ credit card was hit for an amount equal to two tags for the Crawford Mountains!  WAHOOOOOO!!!!!  Another adventure into the Crawfords for the Willow Creek Free Trappers.  That will make 3 years in a row!  Can those deer handle that?

Can you remember back two years ago when 5 of us drew the tag?  There was an earthquake happen the same day we were notified and the epicenter was in the heart of the Crawford range!  Coincidence?  I think not!  And the end result of the hunt looked like this:

And then last year Dry Dog drew the tag with only 2 points!  Un-heard of.  He has to be one of the luckiest Dog’s I know!  While No Grimace and Baby Boy had to settle for an “unsuccessful” email from the DWR and they went into the drawing with 12 points!  Bummer Dude for them, but one Happy Dog on the other side of the fence!  Smilin like he was just tossed a big old steak bone!  And the season ended with his big smile holding up a very nice big boy only the Crawfords can provide!

And so the story for 2012 is beginning to unfold!  It’s early yet, but the time will pass quickly, as it always does and then we will “suddenly” find ourselves once again facing the elements and the wiley bucks of the Crawfords!

OOOOOOOOOOOOO!  I’m so giddy right now!

Congrats to No Grimace and Baby Boy!  It’s about time you drew the coveted tag!  And I hope you two aren’t too picky about who shares the mountain with you….I WANNA COME AND PLAY!
