Nick Teeters and his 2008 Indiana Archery Trophy
Nick Teeters is a friend of mine and there is not a more dedicated outdoorsman than Ranger Nick. He loves to hunt and fish and spends all of the time he can pursuing these passions. This is Nicks story in his own words on his 2008 archery trophy.
Hey Hack….
Ok…let me just say that this is why you
always follow through with tracking. I Shot this buck
on the evening of Nov. 3,2007. It was a quiet evening
and the rut was just starting to come full swing when
I noticed a large bush shaking on the other end of the
field. I grabbed my binoculars and took a peek, I was
surprised to see the rack of this buck raking through
a small tree. I watched him work his way up the field
for another 20 minutes. I decided that this was not
the buck that I was hunting, but a bird in the hand,
and in this case a nice trophy in the hand. He
stopped about 70 out and started to make a scrape when
I picked up my grunt call and my Primos Can and went
to work, needless to say it didn’t take long. He
strolled right in to give me perfect shot at 35yards.
Just as I released the arrow, as I watched my arrow
heading directly for it’s mark, I saw the buck step
forward leaving the flying spear about 10 inches back.
He trotted right at me and stopped at 12 feet (I was
in natural ground blind), I noticed how bad the shot
had turned out and tried to nock another arrow, when
he caught me and trotted off. A long day later I was
able to find the buck bedded down about 1.5 miles away
and was able to correct what had turned to a
devastating loss into a great recovery. Anyway, he
scored 144 3/4″ which is a good buck anywhere in
Indiana. Just thought I would share it with you,
oh…and I will tell you the rest of the story around
the campfire sometime. Take Care Hack, enjoy and Good
Huntin’
Hunt like you mean it, and fish like you need it,
Ranger Nick

How Smart is your right foot?
Just try this. It is from an orthopedic surgeon…………
This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can’t.
It’s preprogrammed in your brain!
1. Without anyone watching you (they will think you are Nuts!!……)
and while sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer,lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise Circles.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number “6″ in the air with your right Hand.
Your foot will change direction.
I told you so!!! And there’s nothing you can do about it! You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done, you are going to try it again, if you’ve not ready done so.
Tell your friends to frustrate them too ……

Great American Comeback’s
When in England at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the
Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire
building by George Bush. He answered by saying, ‘Over the years, the United States
has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom
beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return
is enough to bury those that did not return. It became very quiet in the room.
is enough to bury those that did not return. It became very quiet in the room.
At a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American engineers. During a break one of the French engineers came back into the room saying ‘Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intended to do, bomb them?’ A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: ‘Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck… We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?’
Once again, dead silence.
Once again, dead silence.
A U.S Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from
the U..S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French Navy. At a cocktail reception, he
found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their
drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, ‘whereas Europeans
learn many languages, Americans learn only English.’ He then asked, ‘Why
drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, ‘whereas Europeans
learn many languages, Americans learn only English.’ He then asked, ‘Why
is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than
speaking French?’ Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied ‘Maybe it’s
because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you
wouldn’t have to speak German!’
You could have heard a pin drop…
speaking French?’ Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied ‘Maybe it’s

You could have heard a pin drop…
And this story fits right in with the above
A group of Americans, retired teachers, recently went to France on a tour.
Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane.
At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.
“You have been to France before, monsieur?” The customs officer asked sarcastically. Mr.. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.”Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.”The American said, “The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.” “Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France !” The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained. “Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D- Day in ‘44 to help liberate this country, I couldn’t find any damn Frenchmen to show it to.”
WE MAY NOT BE PERFECT, BUT WE’VE GIVEN MORE TO THE WORLD
THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY AND MORE THAN ANYONE HAS GIVEN US.

Bear Rescued from Bridge
This bridge is on the Old Donner Pass Highway. It has a spectacular view of Donner Lake and Donner Pass on Route 80.
A bear was walking across Rainbow Bridge ( Old Hwy 40 at Donner Summit,
Truckee) on Saturday when two cars also crossing the bridge scared
the bear into jumping over the edge of the bridge. Somehow the bear caught the
ledge and was able to pull itself to safety. Authorities decided that nothing
could be done to help Saturday night so they returned Sunday morning to find the bear sound asleep on the ledge.
After securing a net under the bridge the bear was tranquilized, fell
into the net, lowered, then woke up and walked out of the net.
