    My son has been playing nose tackle on the JV team this season. He has been struggling a little this season, while he is tall, he is also lanky and not built like a lineman. I have been telling him all year, that if he can get off the ball quickly, he can be in the backfield before the O-line can block him. Last night, he finally did. He ended the last minute drive of the other team, getting through the line untouched, sacking the QB right as he was trying to hand off to the RB. A half step faster, and my son would have been able to steal the hand off. It was 3rd down and he forced the punt with 14 seconds left in the game. They won 12-6.

    .8 mile walk to my south stand on our 47 acres. On my way out and I stood and watched the moon for a good 5 minutes (probably 10) just listening. What a life we live and what a blessing hunting gives us to get away from actual life.

    My rut stand is exactly to the bottom right of that moon and I’m going to kill a big buck from it this year. Manifest it.

    I drove over to Oshkosh yesterday to visit my uncle. He is dying of dementia among other ailments. I was reluctant to go because what do you say to somebody that knows they are dying. It was a good day spent a couple hours just chatting, his wife said it was one of his better days. Going back to see him again this morning it's his birthday. It is really going to suck when I leave him this morning because I know chances are I will never see him alive again. I am so happy that I took the time and nutted up to go see him, the opportunity to tell them what they meant to you, you love them is closure but you get to say it.

    Drove from Oshkosh to East Peoria IL. You know you are driving thru big buck country when you see road kill deer and the antlers are sawed off. Saw 3 like that.

    Gosh sometimes you tube shows value. I'll never go and it's something I'd love, but I can at least get to view it through anothers lens. Wild!
