"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." ---Theodore Roosevelt 1910

Brody's Ohio Whitetail




Brody had the chance to fly out to Ohio and hunt whitetail with me on NFL quarterback Karson Palmer's farm. We stayed in the farmhouse and walk out each morning and night to our stands. The first couple of days Brody sat in an elevated blind and was keying on a big 6x3. On the second day the big bruiser came in and Brody shot right under him.

On the last day of our hunt Brody came and sat in a double treestand with me as I had some solid bucks come in the night before. Sure enough this nice eight point came out again into the food plot within bow range and Brody hammered him. It was a fitting end to a great week of hunting.
