    Should find out Monday if I got drawn for the lake area archery hunts. I'm doubting I get drawn as they weight itn n favor of the previous years successful applicants. They say they don't, but from what I have witnessed it is obviously the case. I understand it as the goal is to reduce the deer in these areas. Either way, still that chance I luck out and get drawn the hard way.

    Thats awesome. I may want to live in ND or SD one day. Seems like great outdoors places and not a lot of urban crap.

    A ton of nothing that somehow grows big deer. Not even sure where we are going yet. I met 2 farmers out there 3 years ago with 1000+ acres that I have access to… but it’s mainly just fields with wind row strips.

    We have a spot that’s bordering Canada on public that had oaks dropping where we had chances at 2 really big bucks 2 years ago. Went there last year and there were cows in it. The spot was so good we might drive up there just to see if the cows are in there again.

    Yep. I’m hoping three more sign up today just to save me a little trouble, but it’ll be easy to take care of if they don’t.

    Today I start helping a new neighbor frame his house, so I’m going to be busy. Problem is we had a work party at our Arkansas cabin Friday and Saturday and I’m already so sore it hurts to walk.

    It’s going to be a fun day!

    It's even worse now, and to compound issues I'm coming down with some respiratory crud. It's starting at the back of my sinus like it always does. I will do my best to help my neighbor finish framing tomorrow.

    Man this is gonna sound weird but many years ago and for many years, I had sinus crap.

    I started rinsing out my nose after mowing the grass or if I worked in the attic, basement, or wherever there is nasty crap. Simply pull a little water into your nostrils and shoot it out. Sounds wild I know...seems to work for me.
