Cancer Can Be Cured: Remedy Grows In the Ground
by Al RemingtonNovember 7, 2009
(book)
Aloe Arborescens; family of aloe vera. Aloe in hand-creams are home items of the family.
Aloe Arborescens, found in Israel and Italy, in their natural state, utilize the whole leaf plant’s juices mixed with honey …”to rapidly restore the body’s health so it heals itself of all types of cancer”.
Father Romano Zago, a Franciscan Friar and scholar, wrote the book Cancer Can Be Cured to reveal to the world an all natural Brazilian Recipe that contains the juice made from the whole leaf plant of Aloe Arborescens and honey that has been shown to rapidly restore the body’s health so it heals itself of all types of cancer. The book tells how it was while administering to the poor in the shantytown of Rio Grande dol Sul , Brazil that he and the provincial Father Arno Reckziegel, witnessed the healing of simple people of cancer who used this recipe. Later, when he had assignments in Israel and Italy where this aloe species grows naturally he continued to see great success in the chronically ill being cured when he recommended they use this recipe. This inspired for him to spend the next 20 years in researching the science behind this aloe species and the publication of that research in this book along with his numerous first hand anecdotes of cancer healing by those using the Brazilian juice recipe.
Chapters include information on how to prepare the recipe using the three ingredients of whole leaf Aloe arborescens juice, honey and a small amount of distillate (1%); how to take the preparation; questions and answers on everything from how to pick the aloe leaves, why each of the three ingredients is important in the recipe, the types of cancer that have been cured using the recipe, other diseases and health problems the recipe has shown to be beneficial in helping the human body solve; the internationalization of the recipe on five continents; anecdotal stories of some body healings; the composition of Aloe; and Aloe and Aids, and how to find a commercial manufacturer who makes the Brazilian immune formula as a dietary supplement.
There has been much publicized scientific research and literature on the synergistic benefits of the 300 phytotherapeutic biochemical and nutrient constituents of Aloe vera to aid the body’s defenses to enhance the immune system and protect against diseases. However, this is the first book to reveal the little known potency to be found in the constituents of its cousin plant species of Aloe arborescens. He writes: “Recent studies administered by the Palatinin Salzano Venezia Institute in Italy have discovered that Aloe arborescens is 200% richer in medicinal substances than Aloe vera and contains more than 70% of anti-cancerogenous properties (active ingredients) as opposed to Aloe vera, which contains 40% of these properties.”
In the Appendix is another publication by Father Romano Zago on the Scientific Monographic History of Aloe Vera and Aloe Arborescens. It is here the seal of science is placed on Aloe, one of the oldest herbal medicinal plants known to man.
The book features an encyclopedic bibliography of current information on the scientific studies and writings validating the healing and curative properties of Aloe Arborescens. The author shows how numerous articles based on the medical benefits of Aloe have and are continuing to scientifically demonstrate Aloe’s therapeutic and anti-tumor potential. A vast but prudent bibliography demonstrating anti-tumor effects of various Aloe components on precancerous and cancerous in vitro cells and on real experimental animal neoplasis is provided in the book. Studies show this action seems to be tied to the acemannan immune-stimulant properties and glycoprotein up to anthraquinone antiviral and citotoxic properties. It is also related to anthraquinone and phenolic antioxidant and free radical effects as well as antioxidant vitamins (beta-carotene, Vitamin C and tocopherols) ending with the role of oligoelements. Some examples of scientific literature on Aloe’s phytotherapeutic (plant therapy) potentials are present in the citation of specific bibliographic references. (a) In laboratory experimentation on cancerous and precancerous cells. Research has been done on Aloe’s anti-tumor activities. This research has been administered on cultured leukemic human and animal cells and in neuroectodermal cultured cells. The results were very encouraging, in that they demonstrated Aloe’s intense cytotoxic inhibition activities in the development of the usual tumor cells. (b) Observations on antitumoral effects on experimental animals. Numerous publications have appeared with respect to Aloe’s antitumoral and antimetasis effects on various types of animal-induced tumors. The results showed positive derivatives from Aloe supplementation.
On the back cover of the book readers are instructed on what to look for when they search for a commercial source of the Brazilian recipe in a 16 once bottle that is consumed over a 10 day period.
The book is very compelling, well written, easy to read and offers an enormous potential for reducing cancer risk and cutting cancer death.

Associated Press Declares War on Alternative Medicine (opinion)
by Al RemingtonNovember 7, 2009
Saturday, November 07, 2009 by: Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor.
In 2006, the world spent $643 billion on pharmaceuticals. Where are the cures?
• There are no pharmaceutical cures for cancer.
• There are no pharmaceutical cures for heart disease.
• There are no pharmaceutical cures for diabetes.
• There are no pharmaceutical cures for kidney disease.
• There are no pharmaceutical cures for depression.
• There are no pharmaceutical cures for liver disease.
• There are no pharmaceutical cures for Alzheimer’s disease.
… in fact, if you add it all up, the pharmaceutical industry is the biggest rip-off in the history of medicine! The world spends nearly a trillion dollars a year on pharmaceuticals now, and yet there hasn’t been a single cure found by the drug industry for any major disease or health condition.
Not a single cure.
Where is the cure for cancer? For diabetes? For heart disease?
The AP is a powerful, global news manufacturer. Its stories are picked up and republished by thousands of newspapers around the world. Because it is creating “ready-for-publication” news to be dropped into newspapers and magazines, it is supposed to write objective news, without the level of editorializing that you might expect from blogs or sites like NaturalNews. AP is supposed to be leave editors’ opinions out of the stories and just print the actual news.
But instead, AP is now prefacing many of their health stories with this stilted, opinionated and completely inaccurate statement attempting to trash the entire alternative medicine industry. That’s not a news service… that’s just a highly opinionated smear against the only industry that offers any real solutions for lasting health.
(NaturalNews) The Associated Press has declared war on alternative medicine, publishing a series of stories attacking everything from nutritional therapies to bioidentical hormones. These stories, which are syndicated across thousands of websites around the world, are prefaced with the following highly-opinionated “Editor’s Note”:
EDITOR’S NOTE: Ten years and $2.5 billion in research have found no cures from alternative medicine. Yet these mostly unproven treatments are now mainstream and used by more than a third of all Americans. This is one in an occasional series examining their use and potential risks.
What this note reveals is an extraordinary bias against natural medicine from the start. It’s clear from the claim of “examining their use and potential risks” that the Associated Press isn’t even looking for potential benefits of natural medicine. They’re just looking to discredit it. And the part about “Ten years and $2.5 billion in research have found no cures” is factually incorrect.
To be more accurate, the statement should have said “Ten years and $2.5 billion in research by pharmaceutical researchers who don’t even know how to study something holistically have found no cures that they are willing to publicly acknowledge.”
Because, in reality, natural medicine has provided the populations of the world with countless cures spanning thousands of years of indigenous use by billions of people. Oh, but wait… the Associated Press doesn’t count that. The only evidence they will consider is “proof” provided by researchers on the payroll of the criminally-operated pharmaceutical industry and rubber-stamped by a corrupt, racketeering U.S. Food and Drug Administration that unquestionably pushes a pro-pharma agenda at the expense of public health.
In one story about alternative medicine, the Associated Press characterized the teaching of acupuncture as “Harry Potter medicine.” The story criticizes acupuncture and demeans any mention of “energy channels” even though acupuncture has been scientifically proven to be extremely effective at managing pain. There is no mention in the AP story of the published, peer-reviewed studies that promote acupuncture’s proven effectiveness and safety.
What happened to just reporting the truth?
…the whole system of “evidence-based medicine” is biased against natural medicine from the start because the FDA maintains an official policy of declaring all plant-based medicines to be inert in the human body, regardless of how much scientific evidence demonstrates otherwise.
In the FDA’s eyes, there is no such thing as a food, herb, dietary supplement or nutrient that has any beneficial effect against any disease or health problem in the human body. And you know why? Because according to the FDA, only “drugs” can be used to prevent, treat or reverse any disease or health condition, not nutrients. All nutrients are inert by decree.
When it comes to health, the Associated Press apparently isn’t interested in reporting what works. It’s not interested in educating the public how to be healthy, how to avoid cancer, or how to explore natural therapies that might support their health rather than destroying it (like chemotherapy does). Instead, the AP has taken the side of the criminally-operated pharmaceutical industry to discredit and destroy anything that offers the American people freedom of choice in their medicines.
the author goes on to say: the AP chooses to attack Suzanne Somers and exposes more of the Awful Press’ Opinions.

Don’t Tweet The Deer
by Greg L JohnsonNovember 7, 2009
Today’s the opening of deer hunting season here in Minnesota, and for once it looks like the lawmakers and wildlife officials are a step ahead of the hunters when it comes to the advantages of new technology.
Tweet this: No, you can’t use Twitter to help take a whitetail beginning Saturday, when the state’s 2009 firearms deer season begins. Nor can you text your buddies, saying, for example, that the deer of a lifetime is ambling their way and that they should GET READY.
Minnesota law has long prohibited the taking of game by hunters with the use of two-way radios and, more recently, cell phones. And while the statute doesn’t specifically address written communication carried over the airways, the Department of Natural Resources said this week its interpretation of the law covers all communication using radios and phones, regardless of its form.
Of course, hunting is starting just as I’m typing this, so there isn’t much chance any Minnesota deer hunter is going to read it before heading into the field. Maybe if I sent it out on twitter…
The Case: Tough Man in the Tender Chicken
by xerophytesNovember 7, 2009
Woodchuck Scouts, sponsored by the Jeffersonian Institute, found a dead body floating in the Savage River. Preliminary investigation of Cam and Wendell revealed that that the victim is a middle-aged male with missing fingers and tissue samples has a high content of hydrogen sulfide. Wendell and Hodgins had a suspicion that the man could be an experimental subject of suspended animation. Angela’s facial reconstruction revealed that the victim looks like a half-man and half-chicken. In the autopsy room, Hodgins found a gapeworm in the victim’s neck, proving further that the victim might be a chicken super-soldier
Who doesn’t like conspiracy theory and the concept of super-soldier? I just totally love it when Hodgins do this crazy conspiracy theory. Then Brennan thinking about using worm for super-soldier just made me laugh. I’m sure the writers of Bones had been laughing with these things – imagine, half-man and half-chicken. Then you have half-man and half-worm. To add more, Booth has to call DARPA to find someone who look like an animal… then Bulldog. I just had to laugh. It reminded me of my high school days. We nicknamed one of our teachers – bulldog. LOL. Unfortunately, though, we are not dealing with anything like super-soldier, because Angela’s sketch matched someone named Nick Rabin, the head of personnel at Clucksten Farms.
Brennan and Booth went to Clucksten Farms to find a group of animal (particularly chicken) right activist. Guess what, they are swearing the people – CLUCK YOU. LOL. They questioned the wife of the victim and so, the activists were pointed as possible suspects. Brennan and Booth confronted Josh Parsons, the leader of the “cluck you” group and he called for Code Yellow. And so the protesters poured a gooey yellow stuff on to them and cover them with feather. It was a hilarious to see B&B that way (you can even see Emily can’t contain her laughter).
Josh was interrogated and he gave in by giving the raw video. This turned out to be taken by the wife of the victim, who apparently fed up of getting threatening phone calls and so wanted the farm to get shut down. She pointed another possible suspect, Roy Meyers. Brennan and Booth then found out that Rob Meyers own a cigar cutter which could be use to remove the fingers of the victim. This apparently was disprove by Hodgins. And you also have Angela obviously disturbed about what had “happened“, taking the words of Hodgins and Cam as a reference to the incidence. Traces of electricity in the victim’s digit and beak-and-feather disease in the thumb pointed to Gina McNamara, the beak clipper, as a possible suspect.
In the Ookey room, Wendell became a guinea pig for a demonstration of the parameters of the murder weapon. Cam’s face was so hilarious when Wendell was smashed with red paintbrush all over his face. Brennan then realized how the victim died. The chicken plucker was brought to the lab. Brennan demonstrated that the wrenching of the neck of the victim is due to the tie getting into the equipment. She also suggested that a hand in the machine likely caused some of the strange markings on the skull (I’m sure all Brennan and Booth fans cheered, when they see Brennan’s hand on Booth’s face). John Collins was called for an interrogation due to his record of having a broken hand. It was then found out that John fought with the victim over a gas allowance. He told B&B that it was as an accident. Booth was about to believe him when Brennan proved that broken hand suggested that he pushed the victim’s head into the machine.
The After-thought:
At first, the case is interesting. You have the element of super soldier and conspiracy theory but later you found out that it is nowhere near these things. It was a story about a chicken farm and how they had mistreated chickens, which in irony, the head of the personell mistreated his employee. I think the whole point of the case is not so much on who-done-it or not even mysterious in nature, but the writers and producers of the show wanted to give an insight to many people on how should animals be treated well. They deserve a good place, and dignity if you may. But again, this made me think, do we have to refrain from eating animals? Shall we go for veggies for life? Personally, I don’t want to! I love chicken. I love meat. I am an omnivore.
We are also animals… well, we are classified as animals. So, like those poor chickens, we should treat and be treated well. If you are an employer, you should be able to put yourself in the shoes of your employee. Understand what their concerns are and give what is appropriate for him or her. What you give is what you get, so if you don’t want your face to be shove into a chicken plucker, I guess, it’s time to be human to them and don’t treat them like “animals”.

Week 9 fantasy preview
by Joey GNovember 7, 2009
I might have running backs on the brain: Seven of my nine choices below are RBs. Good luck
SMART STARTS
Matt Forte, RB, Bears: I don’t know if Forte turned a corner last week — though he scored two touchdowns, his average per carry was somewhat weak — but he has a good matchup at home against the Cardinals. He should at least sustain last week’s performance.
Ryan Grant, RB, Packers: Grant gets a good matchup against the Buccaneers, and after Aaron Rodgers got a little beat up against the Vikings last week, the Packers might be inclined to run the ball more. Expect Grant to top 100 yards and score a touchdown.
Brandon Jacobs, RB, Giants: Backfield-mate Ahmad Bradshaw isn’t 100 percent, quarterback Eli Manning seems rattled, and the Giants host the Chargers, who let Justin Fargas have a decent game last week. If the Giants rely on Jacobs a lot, he might turn in his best game of the season.
SLEEPER ALERT
Kevin Walter, WR, Texans: Walter has fallen off the radar in recent weeks, but with tight Owen Daniels out for the season, he might find himself back in Matt Schaub’s mix.
Julius Jones, RB, Seahawks: Yep, I can’t believe I calling Jones a sleeper, but Seattle is at home against the Lions and their terrible run defense. He could turn in a big week.
Alex Smith, QB, 49ers: OK, this is the week you start Smith … maybe? Brett Favre is the only good fantasy QB on bye, so Smith will start in most leagues only if an owner is stuck with another second-tier quarterback as his starter. That said, Smith was solid last week against a good Colts defense, and he draws the porous pass defense of Tennessee this week.
BENCHWARMERS
Clinton Portis, RB, Redskins: I have a hunch Washington will be passing most of the game just to keep up with Atlanta. Add the fact the Redskins generally stink — thus, I think Portis isn’t a good play.
Knowshon Moreno, RB, Broncos: The rookie will face his biggest test against the Pittsburgh defense on Monday night. This is another game in which the underdog (Denver, in my book) will be passing to keep up, and don’t be surprised if Correll Buckhalter splits carries a little more than usual this week.
Ryan Moats, RB, Texans: Moats was a popular free-agent pickup this week after his impressive game against the Bills in relief of the bumbling Steve Slaton. Even if Slaton doesn’t return to full-time duty, surely he’ll split carries with Moats, who simply isn’t a week-to-week fantasy starter (and definitely isn’t one in Houston). Moats is maybe a low-end RB3 against the Colts, but there are other low-end RB3s more worthy of taking a chance on.
Muzzleload Eve I Can Hardly Wait
by MooseNovember 6, 2009
Opening of the central muzzleloader season here in North Carolina is just hours away and I can’t wait. Like a kid on Christmas Eve I anticipate what the season will bring. This has been a busy week getting things wrapped up at work because I have all of next week off as well as getting things ready to go to deer camp. The weather looks like it will cooperate as the forecasters are predicting the first killing frost of the season for Saturday morning. Nothing like a sunrise on a crisp autumn morning as the steamy moisture rises off the frosty leaves to greet the warm sunshine. I don’t even need to see a deer and I know I’ll enjoy it but I’m hopeful the deer will show up around my stand. I hope I enjoy success like I did on the opening of the Eastern Muzzleloader.
I have the week off from work and I plan to be hunting fool next week. But don’t worry I got some obligations that will drag me in from outdoors so I suspect I’ll get some posts up and keep you updated on how the hunting is going.

“I’m Just Not That Connected.”
by MKBNovember 6, 2009
Yesterday I was eating lunch with a friend of mine and she was staring at a lady who was waiting for her food. The lady was sitting there texting on her phone while she waited. My friend looked at me and said, “I don’t understand how people are like that. I guess I’m just not that connected.” I laughed because it got me thinking—we’re all connected in some way, shape, or form.
Think about it for a minute. How many pieces of technology (no matter how archaic they may seem) do you use every single day? Just thinking about my day today I’ve used a hair dryer, drove my car, worked on my computer, checked emails, played with my iPhone, made updates to some websites, watched my favorite shows online, called my husband on the phone, surfed the internet, and the list goes on and on.
My friend may think she’s “not that connected” but I have news for her and everyone else—technology is here and we’re ALL connected. We may all be at different levels, but we’re connected just the same.
I say we give in, embrace the new and exciting, and don’t look back! Jump on the technology bandwagon or you’re sure to be left behind.
Coon Camp Springs Mule Deer Hunts – Part 2
by Phillip LoughlinNovember 6, 2009
Well, I’m back.
It was an eventful couple of weeks at Coon Camp Springs… too eventful, in fact, for me to simply summarize the hunts in a single post. Instead, I’ve decided to write up each hunt separately (although there’s a great connection between the first two).
Click Here to view Part 1
Here’s the second part, then… hope you enjoy it!
When Nolan left with his father on Tuesday night, his plan was to get home, visit with his family a little bit, and then come on back out to the ranch on Thursday afternoon. Tom said he might come back as well. Even though he already had his buck, he wanted to be there when Nolan tagged out. In the wings of the plan was the possibility that Nolan may bring his six year-old son back up with him to enjoy the hunt and camp, and possibly to see his father take a buck, just as Nolan had been there 35 years earlier to see his own dad tag out.
With these plans in our minds, Dave Allen (President of the Coon Camp Springs non-profit org), Kat (my girlfriend and camp cook for the week), and I decided to take our downtime on Wednesday to get out to town and pick up some supplies. We did some work around camp and headed up the hill to the highway. Just before we topped the last ridge, a black truck came up the road toward us. Nolan just couldn’t stay away! I bailed out and let Dave and Kat go on to town. I’d spend the evening hunting with Nolan and his son, Tommy, and see what we could do to fill that tag.
With a six year-old in tow, the cards were stacked against us on this one. On this property, there are a couple of ways to hunt. One is to sit tight on a high spot and glass, and then either shoot or stalk for the shot. That requires quiet, patience, and sitting still… none of which are exactly common traits among the first grade set.
The other method is to still hunt slowly through the juniper thickets. This is slow, silent going, and is difficult enough for a solo hunter. With a couple of experienced hunters, getting close to a buck is a real challenge. With two hunters and a youngster, it’s almost a guarantee we wouldn’t see anything except tracks.
There is a third method, of course… road hunting. While I’m not against the practice, and will do it from time to time, it’s not really something we encourage at Coon Camp Springs. The terrain is pretty friendly, and there’s almost no place the most out of shape hunter can’t go on foot. Besides, riding around in the truck isn’t the kind of experience most mule deer hunters are paying for.
I had some decisions to make, and none of them looked promising. This was gonna be tough and no way around it.
Fortunately, Nolan was fairly realistic about our chances, but what he wanted most was just to share the time and experience with his son. If we got a deer, that would be ideal, but if not, then at least the two of them would have a great time in the field. I could really appreciate that, as it reminded me of those early days in the field with my own dad… memories that will last a lifetime. I was determined to make the most of this hunt, no matter how hard it would be.
I got a pretty good taste of the challenge later that afternoon, as I led the two of them down to my glassing rock. I figured the odds were that if we saw deer, they’d be in the distance… far enough away so that maybe Tommy’s fidgeting wouldn’t immediately blow them out of the county. We got out there with a relative minimum of noise, although at a couple of points I had to tell Tommy to slow down and try to be “more sneaky”. However, we hadn’t been settled on the rock a half an hour before the boy had to go to the bathroom… and not the kind you can do standing behind a tree.
We hiked back up the trail and I looked in dismay at the rapidly sinking sun. Back at the truck, Tommy suddenly decided he didn’t have to go after all. After a flash of impatience, I remembered why we were here and the fact that he is only six. I adjusted my attitude then, and actually found the whole thing pretty funny. Since we were in the truck anyway, I suggested that we drive up onto a saddle-back ridge, and just sit until dark to see what came out. Nothing did, but it was better than bagging the evening hunt altogether.
Before bed, Nolan had a little chat with Tommy to remind him the importance of being quiet and still. With a promise to be quieter tomorrow, they settled into the bunkhouse until the crackle of the morning campfire rousted them. Over breakfast we went over options. I tried to be as clear as possible with Nolan that we’d be fighting an uphill battle, but if he wanted to, we could go back and sit the rock again. He said he was cool with that, and we headed out.
The temperature had fallen pretty sharply overnight, into the mid-twenties. On the hike down to the rock, I was impressed by how careful Tommy was to be silent. Even so, as we came out onto the rock a pair of cattle on the adjoining property spotted us and bolted, from over 400 yards away. I watched carefully, but it didn’t appear that the slow elk spooked any deer in their progress.
Even after we settled down on the rock, Tommy was doing a pretty good job of being still and quiet… at least for such a young guy. I was pretty impressed. Unfortunately, he had a cough that overcame his efforts and in the quiet morning, the sound was pretty explosive. At one point, as I was watching a line of does from over 1000 yards, he coughed and the lead doe raised her head in alarm, peering straight at us. They didn’t spook, not from that far away, but it was a pretty good illustration of what we’d be up against.
Nolan and I tried to show him how to cough into his elbow, but he didn’t quite grasp what we were after. Again, I felt the surge of impatience. We’d never see a deer like this, much less shoot one. But I pushed those feelings down, keeping in mind that this wasn’t my hunt. This was Nolan’s hunt, and if he wanted to spend it this way, then that’s what we’d do. My job was to do the best I could with what we had to work with and show them a great time.
Besides the coughing, everything was pretty good for about two hours. Then the cold started to get to the youngster. To his credit, he maintained as well as he could, but he couldn’t take anymore. With tears in his little eyes, he turned to his dad. “I’m cold,” he whimpered. “Can we go back to buck camp?”
We picked up and headed back to the truck. The walk helped to warm him up, and by the time I got the diesel running and the heat coming through, he was pretty happy again. “What do you want to do,” I asked Nolan. “We could take a little hike.”
“No,” he said. “Maybe we should just drive around a bit.”
I rolled down the hill, and poked along the ranch roads. One of the cowboys who’d been out rounding up stray cattle had mentioned seeing a “nice buck” on a particular ridge, so I figured it would be worth driving out to see what was around. Besides, we hadn’t really spent any time hunting that side of the ranch yet.
As the hill came into sight, I mentioned what the cowboy had told us. The words had no more left my mouth than I spotted movement at the base of the hill. Deer! I hit the brakes and grabbed the binos. Sure enough, a doe was coming off the hill into the sage flats. As we watched, we spotted two yearlings with her. They trotted out into the open, and then stopped to look back. “There’s got to be a buck in the trees,” I hissed. “Get ready!”
A moment later, a three-point buck came bounding out of the trees, hot on the trail of the doe and yearlings. Only a few days earlier, we were seeing bachelor groups, but this was a definite sign that the rut was coming on. I turned to ask Nolan if he’d like to take this buck, but he was already out of the truck with his rifle. I climbed up on the side of the truck to glass.
The buck was moving too fast for a shot, so I bleated at him. It didn’t seem to have an effect, so I let out another loud bleat. I didn’t account for how long it would take the sound to reach him, but he suddenly slammed on the brakes and looked toward us. He stood broadside, like a target. I ranged him at 430 yards, but with the open ground all around him and after having seen some of Nolan’s shooting on some coyotes earlier, I decided to give the green light.
It seemed to take forever for the shot, and I actually thought Nolan was having second thoughts about the range. Suddenly, the 7mm Mag roared and the buck jumped, kicked, and took off on what we thought was a death run. He went about fifty yards in a half-circle, then tipped over under a patch of bitterbrush. I saw blood on both sides as he ran, and it looked good, but I decided to wait a few minutes before going down to collect him.
Just as Nolan started down, the buck got his feet and trotted a few more yards before collapsing into the sage. I told Nolan to go ahead, and be ready in case it jumped up again. After the experience with Tom’s deer, I didn’t want to take any chances with this one. Finding and collecting the buck in the high sage brush was a bit of a challenge, but finally Nolan called out over the radio, “I need packers and skinners down here!”
I drove the truck down into the flat, bouncing over lava rocks along the way. Tommy, bouncing around the back seat was giggling like crazy at each hop. He’d come a long way since his tears and frozen feet earlier in the morning.
On arrival, there were high fives all around. Nolan had accomplished his ultimate goal for the week… he’d taken his buck with his son along to witness the event. The buck, a 17-inch 3×3 wasn’t what many mule deer hunters would consider a trophy, but there was no question from the smiles on both of those faces that this was a memory that would last a very, very long time.
The final hunt is coming up. Hope you’ve enjoyed so far, as I sure had a great time hunting with all of these guys. I also know these write-ups are a little long, but I hope that the background I include provides more than “just another hunting story”.
