    Awesome ILL!!!
    Congrats.

    I’m went this am. Nothing.
    Was hoping to get out this afternoon but I’m at urgent care with the wife. She hurt her back bad this weekend at a crossfit come she was in. Ugh. How dare she get injured during the rut!?!? Haha. I wouldn’t dare say that to her though.

    Congrats Ill. Great buck and awesome on first day. Love opening up to more pics.
    Rifle season started here Saturday. Although early last week was little irritated hearing what I’m guessing was some starting early as usual... checked cams today with my older son to get out and see what’s been around. Glad I got the buck I got and didn’t hold out. The other one hasn’t been around in a few weeks. Spikes and baldies. Really want to have wife put her first one down, and kids are more than obsessed, so trying to have a family sit before dark. Could be a challenge with two excited kids but having her get her first with them with would be great. And honestly gotta say nice not stressing since got mine early but really sucks not hunting. It’ll be fun even spectating

    Nice one Ill! I took Friday off from work so now to get the wife or daughter to work from home. LOL I wish I had a job that I could work from home BUT retirement is in 4 years 11 months not that I am counting. Watching inmates from home is not a possibility I guess. LOL

    Well, I got out. Got in stand around 3:15. The 6 point I missed a couple of weeks ago was under this stand at 2 -2:30 pm.
    Didn’t see a deer. Ugh.

    I just got Friday off and I have the daughter lined up to work from home so that she can take the grand baby to school and pick her up. That means I will be in the stand Friday AM and PM then Saturday the wife wanted to do something so we are going to run up to New Glarus Brewery. So no hunting Saturday but will then be out Sunday in the AM and PM. Have to give the wife some time otherwise she will be cranky all deer season. LOL

    Rifle season starts this weekend and the following weekend season opens in Oklahoma. My nonresident license cost me $300 so I probably wouldn't do any bow hunting until after Dec 2. Just don't give up on me. Hopefully I can get us some points earlier than the last day of the contest this year.

    Well, I didn’t take my bow last night, but I had just as much fun. I took a kid out that had never killed a buck, and got him one. Not the biggest deer, but he was so excited. He’s hooked now. IMG_1844.JPG
