THIS IS FUNNY!

Member Roger Gross sent me a story about the antics of a guy that tries to rope a deer so he can corn-feed it and eat it.  I was laughing as I read it.  Click here to got to the DEER ROPER story.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, and I really hope it's fiction.  Thanks Roger.

Saturday, August 9th, Coon Shoot

On Saturday, August 9th, Everglades Archers and Safari Club International (SCI) held a coon shoot at our club grounds.  The turnout was somewhat light, most likely due to the ASA tournament and the Bass Pro Shoot being held on the same day.  However, there were still quite a few people attending.  SCI had a table with many items that were being raffled off, which included a nice rifle.  We had our usual cooking feast, with quite a variety of food being served.

After the dinner break Shelly and Chris went around the range setting the glow-sticks in the targets.  Once the sun set the remaining groups of archers took to the range to shoot.  Although I did not compete I walked around the range with the traditional group.  What a sight to see a star-filled sky above the darkened woods.  It was very quiet and serene.  I took pictures of the shoot which are posted on our photos page.
