    That’s the plan. I haven’t been able to get out once like I planned over the break.

    Robot mode is inevitable brother. Just be strong for him and don't break around him. Vent here, we are here for you.

    Did some scouting on Tuesday, moved 2 different cams where I found fresh buck tracks and sign. I’m going to do everything I can to get on a shooter. They are there, just have to figure out where they are during shooting hours! Stay after it guys!

    Back on stand for this evening. I need some opinions on blinds if you have any. Asat's manufacturer went out of business and they won't have any blinds until turkey season. I need a good blind with a fabric covering not polyester. I figured poly will be loud and shiny. Just need some advice on a good blind.

    I have a blind you can borrow for the rest of the season. It's a standard square one, you have to shoot sitting down though

    Thanks guys. When I get done hunting I'll do more research. I really like the 80" high blinds for shooting my bow. I haven't hunted on the ground in 28 years. This is going to be interesting to say the least. Doing it for the team.

    My hunt got cut way short. Dad is being taken to UW-Madison for emergency surgery. During the biopsy the other day they poked something they shouldn’t have and they got his colon and he’s been in excruciating pain. I’m headed up there now. Like I said, everything in my life is snowballing right now. I’m looking for a sign that everything will be okay.

    Dang Benny sorry to hear that. Hunting shouldn’t even be a thought man. Just make sure they take good care of him and be there for him.

    this will brighten the mood for all of us. i just bought the baronett ox5 blind. good reviews and doesn't have nylon or polyester shell. must be like mole skin glued to black polyester. not supposed to glare as much either. i'm not messing around here, we need points!

    Quick update: during the biopsy they either poked the pancreas or colon and it’s leaking some fluid. They decided to not do surgery tonight because that will further delay any cancer treatments. They’ve got him on antibiotics and pain meds all night and if it doesn’t get better or if it gets worse then they will do surgery tomorrow. I appreciate all of your guys support. Family is everything to me.
