    All of my gear is packed in the travel trailer. I’ll be leaving for Kentucky at 9:00 in the morning.

    I managed to get motivated enough today to get it all ready and loaded, but for the first time in my life when it comes to a hunting trip I could take it or leave it.

    I didn’t even buy the tag until two hours ago because I was on the fence.

    Maybe it’s the 90+ degree weather that they’re forecasting. I don’t know. Maybe when I get there I’ll be pumped and ready to go.

    We will see.

    It’s about time to roll. I’ll check back in when I get camp set up in Kentucky.

    Glassed the beans by the sunflowers this morning but didn’t see anything. Drove around looking at more places but didn’t turn up anything promising.

    Will be in a tree with my bow this afternoon.

    This trip has already gone south and may be a very short one.

    I didn't bring my rain gear, tree umbrella or rubber boots because I wasn't supposed to need them. The forecast has changed. Now there is a better than 50% chance of thunderstorms the entire next seven days. I don't think it's a good idea to bow hunt in the rain anyway, so I guess not bringing the rain gear doesn't matter.

    The spot I had the highest hopes for is on the other side of a big creek. It can be crossed now, but if we get heavy rain here I won't be able to cross it. I opted not to even hang a stand there. I did, however, get my truck stuck for a few minutes going back to check the creek despite the ground being bone dry.

    The grass around the field edge is about knee high and I couldn't see the deep drainage on my left. Luckily I was going slow. My left front tire dropped and I barely hit the brakes in time to keep from bending my bumper on the other steep side. I got out and looked and my right rear wheel was 2" off the ground.

    After spinning tires in 4-low, I finally managed to get my front wheels at a good angle and get out by giving it all she had. At least I got myself out of an embarrassing bind.

    Anyway, tomorrow morning may be the only sit I get in this trip.

    Back at the white oak we saw that 100” at 2 days ago. Loaded with acorns and dropping like crazy. Grass is beat down looks like a race track around it. No good trees so I’m on the ground in some thick bushes.

    Hey chief, there's a saying. "There's More at the Store".
    :bow:

    Just tried shooting a squirrel behind my cabin.
    Had to give up, might have lost an eye.
    Acorns dropping by the bushel!

    Nah, I know better than to bow hunt in the rain. It's tough enough being colorblind without compounding the issue with rain.

    Your pics, though. That's a lot of acorns.

    Looks like the next 48 hours will be the worst of it. Dependent on how much you actually get and how vital the creek is to your planned hunts might not be too bad after. Not sure your exact location. Of course as always, it's the future predicted and always subject to change for better or worse :lol:

    These are forcasted rainfall totals that weather offices utilize to make their forecasts. Go to this link and you can see the breakdown by every 6 hours for the first 3 days. Being military I'm sure you're familiar with Zulu times :lol:
