    First evening deer hunting this year

    Spent my first evening of the year in my stand last night. Within an hour had 5 bucks within range. Had to wait for this guy to come in the open. Arrow hit it's Mark at 32 yds and he expired 30 yds later. Not a giant around here, but he's still a dandy.

    Not an a body, but my 98 1500 sport. 5.9 magnum and auto trans. The truck has 130k on it but runs good and is reliable as can be. Only problem that keeps bugging me is the transmission.
