Happy 12th Birthday Wade

Hello, This is Odie reporting in from Hillsboro, Ohio. I had a wonderful weekend with my family here. Yesterday morning I got a quick FaceTime call from my parents. It was great to see them for a few minutes. I miss them so much and I am looking forward to seeing them later this week. I am looking forward to hearing about all their travels. 

Friday night was an exciting time, it was my cousin Wade's birthday party. I was so glad to be there to help him celebrate. 12 years ago our world got a lot brighter and sweeter when Wade Ross was born. He is growing into a wonderful young man. I can not believe he is now 12. I Love you, Wade.

Thanks for reading! I will let the party pics finish the post.

A Saturday Full of Excitement

Hi, I hope you are having a super Sunday. I was able to talk to my parents a few minutes yesterday and they are doing good. Their wifi has been limited and it is always good to hear from them. 

Thank you to all of you have been supporting me on my hunt this week. I am still without deer but I have had so much fun. We are learning they ways I need to go about making my dream a reality. 

It was so close to being realized yesterday. Sadly I only have deer hair to had to my collection. I guess as of now I am a deer barber. Once again the deer ran away unhurt. 

We did have 5 turkeys come out yesterday morning. It was great thing to see. 

In the afternoon Morgan joined us in the blind. It was a fun afternoon spent with our uncle. We had lots of excitement during our time together. 

Uncle Danny, thank you for a fabulous week of hunting!! I appreciate all your hard work. I love you so much!

Boggs Thanksgiving 2016

Hey Friends, happy Saturday and welcome to the weekend. This morning I am headed back to the woods and I am praying for a complete job on getting deer. My Uncle Danny has told me to pray for the deer all the way to the wall. If you missed the story of Wednesday's hunt click here.

Last Saturday Thanksgiving continued with the Boggs Clan. My parents and my cousin Isaac were missing and we missed them very badly. 

I have learned to cherish family and love them every chance I get. We do not know what tomorrow holds so I love being with my family. We shared too much yummy food and lots of good laughs! I am thankful to be one of this amazing clan. 

Ready for dinner

Morgan Thanksgiving 2016

Hi, this is Odie checking in from Waynesville Ohio. I hope you are have a fabulous Friday. My wifi has been limited this week so I have never got around to posting Thanksgiving pics. Thursday of last week was a national holiday here in the USA, Thanksgiving. We should be truly grateful everyday for everything. This one day of the year is a special reminder to be thankful in all things. 

On Thanksgiving day I was privileged to be with the Morgan side of my family. The celebration started early and lasting all day. It was wonderful to be in such a great family. 

We had a super day from start to finish. A highlight of the day was getting to see my parents via FaceTime. Technology is wonderful. Just for a few minutes all 14 of us Morgan crew were together. 

Uncle Buster always stops by for a visit on Thanksgiving

Papaw brought out the guitar and played and sang for us.

Oh Deer The Fun Continues

Hello, it is Odie checking in once again. Wednesday was an exciting day in the woods hunting for a deer. We only had a couple hours to hunt Wednesday morning. I just knew this was the day I would take a deer down. I have a story to tell!

 

It was an extremely still and foggy morning and things were quiet at first. I was facing a field waiting for a deer to show up. Uncle Danny was looking all around for deer. He looked over his shoulder to see a doe coming to the feeder barrel. I was trying to get turned quickly, cautiously and quietly so I could get a good shot. The deer was watching things closely but she was enjoying corn from the feeder. I am left handed but I could not get a left handed shot. So my  uncle suggested to try a right handed shot. 

 

The deer was 23 yards away it was a perfect chance to get my prize. I took the shot and immediately the doe dropped, flipped started kicking. I thought I was finally successful but she jumped up and ran away unhurt. I am dumbfounded and I still can not believe it happened.

When my Papaw and Uncle Danny checked things out all they could find was lots of hair. No sign of an injured deer could be found. The guess is the shot hit in a void spot between her back and lungs. 

Uncle Danny said I gave her a hairstyle change. Papaw Danny says she is telling all the other deer that corn is dynamite. It knocked me down it had such a punch. Here is my trophy for the day,a bag of deer hair. 

 

When we got back to the house and were discussing everything and I mentioned my prayer for the day. "Lord please let a deer come out by the feeder. Let me get a shot and take it down". God answered my prayer! I just forgot to add make the deer stay down forever. I did NOT hear the end of it all day. It was a long day but a boatload of fun. I have had to grin and take the jokes and laugh with everyone. 

I had to tell you before my family got ahold of the blog. 

The hunt is not complete yet. We are believing Saturday will be the day I will get my fully answered prayer. I am being extremely specific in my prayers for Saturday!! 

Thank you for reading today.
