Cool mount with a 3rd main beam.

For all the people who think Pennsylvania does not have monster bucks. Dr. Dave told about a friend of his who took a Boone and Crocket buck that scored over 204" from our area last year. The deer management program is working. I personally have scored bucks that have been in the 160-175 range.

A freak of nature, two headed deer.

Some young boys enamored with my ammo collection.

An Iroquois Indian presenting a handmade longbow to a young boy.

Yep he was wearing a loin cloth.

Scary!

Night Out with the Carrs

Chef Pengs - Niles Ohio. We are fans of this restaurant. It is my favorite. You can be guaranteed that the chicken is chicken and not cat, pigeon, or rabbit. If you ever want to try it out holler and we will go there with you. Just don't let Daryl and Marilyn Muir about or they will want to go along. J/K! We will invite them as well.

Buddy and Lisa Carr - great friends and congregants.

For those who like weird Chinese fortune cookie sayings.....for whatever it means.

Most Popular NFL Team

Cleveland Browns Fans...eat your heart out!

The Steelers have a tradition of having a large fanbase, which has spread from Pittsburgh. In August 2008, ESPN.com ranked Steelers' fans as the best in the NFL, citing their "unbelievable" sellout streak of 299 consecutive games. While the team gained a large fan base nationally based on their success in the 1970s, many consider the collapse of the steel industry in Pittsburgh at the end of the 70's dynasty into the 1980s to be a large catalyst for the unusually high fan base in other cities, since many native Pittsburghers were forced to move elsewhere to find work, causing Western Pennsylvania to lose nearly half of its population. Examples of this have been shown when the Steelers are on the road, and the stadiums still having a sizable amount of Steeler fans; in particular, teams with usually low fan turnout at home that would otherwise require a local blackout on television usually end up selling out when hosting the Steelers due to Steeler fans buying up the tickets. The Cincinnati Bengals used to be perhaps the best example of this, as the team only sold out home games when the Steelers or Cleveland Browns were playing in Cincinnati, with the respective fans of the other teams buying up the tickets.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have sold out every home game since the 1972 season. In November 2007, the Steelers were ranked as the most popular local sports franchise out of the 122 teams in the NHL, NBA, MLB and NFL, by a study from Turnkey Sports. Another study ranked Pittsburgh as having the highest percentage of female fans of their local football team, ranking twice as high as the average city. An aspect of Steelers fandom, the Terrible Towel, is "arguably the best-known fan symbol of any major pro sports team". - http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Which_NFL_team_is_the_most_popular

Sorry all you poor Browns and Ravens teams(and all the other teams in the AFC.)

My Best Friend

Yep, he was my best man in my wedding and still is my best friend! With Mom doing the cooking and Dad putting on the drives, it made for a great day of hunting! We work together, chat together, build together, hunt together...... My parents are the reason I love and serve the Lord. Thanks Dad for putting on drives today till he wanted to drop. It wasn't easy walking through 18" of snow, but he was doing his best!

I love you and Mom very much!
