Hiltzer's 17 point buck

Caution: some 'f-bombs' in here...also, if you are squeamish about dead animals, don't watch this video.

I love Hiltzer's hunting/trapping videos. This one is intense, his breathing really put me in the moment...enjoy!

You can do it all on Saturday, the Christmas luncheon at St. Luke's is a guaranteed crowd pleaser, as is the roast turkey supper in Canaan. It's worth it for the drive to Canaan, check out the review of a previous turkey supper for an idea of what to expect.
