My old friend Lenny and I were texting each other this morning at about 7:30 about how deer hunting conditions were about perfect - him on a ridge overlooking the sleepy town of Denmark, ME. and me on my couch nursing my second cup of coffee - when he texted "Oops gotta go."
He called me at 7:45 to tell me he had to put his phone down because he saw movement back in the whips, but that the movement turned out to be a pretty hefty 10 point buck. He downed it with a perfect neck shot. I couldn't have been happier.
Lenny thinks Parker people all wear ascots and smoke pipes.
But I love him like a brother - we learn a lot from each other.
