Primero

The ole ranch hand has been watching a buck for a year or two.

"Primero" has grown from a spindly thing to a magnificent example of the species with a muscular body, long neck, and eight long tines that strongly define his dominance.

Sunday afternoon last the fat boy was veggin' in the sun room when gratuitously, Primero entered the back forty in all his glory.

Said wanna-be hunter scooped up his venison acquisition device an "cherokeed" (Sweet Bill says we be from the Cherokee Nation ala 1794 or sumpthin such?) onto the back porch....needed a slightly better angle so brother Daniel Boone sidle to the right...and ooched a metal chair across the concrete creating a screeching sound that would make a banshee proud?

Primero hit the brush like his tail was on fire!

Went back in the house...pooch lipped...pissed off...disapointed to say the least.

Looked up and that puppy was back!!!!!

Did a credible ninja "sneak" back on the porch and put that puppy between the crosshairs (with visions of trophy accolades dancing).

Off to the right about forty yards a doe SNORTED like a bull elk, jumped near bout 10 foot in the air, and ran off like the devil was on her butt?

Ranch hand Boone (and Primero) near bout did the same?

Primero scooted ass and ain't been seen since.

Score: Primero "1".....ranch hand "0"
