    Can't leave it on that note, what'd he shoot?

    Good luck on the track.

    Tons of weekend hunter pressure makes them skittish around here.

    I'm headed into the 15B bucks lair tomorrow morning. He was the buck I was too scared to shoot at last year. Lol

    No deer sightings this afternoon. I was in a spot that’s really thick until the leaves drop and between the squirrels, raccoons and possums I must’ve grabbed my bow a dozen times.
    Damn near gave me a heart attack!

    Come home from work tomorrow evening, mow the grass one last time til spring and empty all the fishing gear from the truck sans a pole for possibly hitting the pond a time or two.

    Don't have a whole lot to do really for getting hunting gear in order. Toss a box with everything I need in the front seat and wash my clothes.

    11 days and I am officially on vacation. Gotta lot of whining to catch up on :lol:

    Sorry, crap signal at camp.
    To start, successful recovery. Fork horn. Pics tomorrow. Shot was a little high but got lung and liver. Went maybe 100 yards.
    I couldn't be happier for him. This is very possibly his last deer and maybe his last hunt. He's got a 187 gross hanging on the wall and I don't know if this one is any less meaningful.

    Dad is 68 going on 98. His body is just wore out. Just 20 years ago he was a beast. Literally toughest SOB I've ever known, but cancer, 3 different types of arthritis, and heart disease have more than taken their toll. Mostly the arthritis. He can barely walk a hundred yards behind camp. Last season he didn't hunt at all. I was surprised he made it up this weekend, he was pretty tore up last weekend and the cold really gets him with both shoulders and knees being titanium.

    Normally I hate gutting deer, much less somebody else's. Not this time. Haven't been this happy gutting one since my first.

    What a weekend. I'm going out in the AM, will be my last sit for a couple weeks.

    Give him a hug tomorrow when he wakes up.

    Didn't realize what I was getting into stating can't leave it there. Definitely wasn't meant to be disrespectful by any means.

    Enjoy it, brought tears to my eyes reading it.
