Are you unable to get to the woods to go after that elusive whitetail buck? Are you rained out of a day in the field? Are you sitting in your office, dreaming of a huge antlered rack? Are you unable to sleep the night before a hunt due to an early rase of buck fever? Well guess what loyal readers, Dennis Goldsby has come to our rescue. Dennis is a computer programmer who resides in Lucy, TN in North Shelby County. He is 39 years old and a happily married father of three children. Dennis wanted to combine his professional skills with his passion; which is deer hunting. And that is just what he did, along with promotional help from Charlie Sage, of Lakeland, TN. The final product is a web site called tndeer.com. This versatile web site opens the doors to anyone who has a computer and loves deer hunting. It has pages listing the exact sunrise/sunsets of the entire state, it lists moon phases, 1998-99, regulations and limits, a free classified ad section, a conference board, a trophy room for pictures of your harvests, deer sightings by county, and a chat room Called 'Deer Talk Forum'. I happened on this site when activating 'YAHOO' search engine, and typing in Tennessee and hunter, in the search box. I ended up staying on this sight for over three hours, and have visited it daily. There is a veritable treasure chest of information available here. It opens up with the home page showng a graphic of our Volunteer State, with a running deer overlaid on it. Suddenly you hear the audible grunt of a rutting buck, and you're on.
