Okay. This might not sound like a bow hunting related post at first but bear with me. If you seen any of my posts lately you know that I just retired and we are selling our house. We are set to close on Friday the 28th and we will have to move out of our home quickly if all goes well. We don't have a new house yet and my wife is going to continue working until the new year, so she is going to be staying in our travel trailer either on the Millington Navy base or at the Navy Lake RV park which is 29 minutes closer to St. Jude. I had to find a place to live where I can keep six dogs until we decide on a place to buy in Missouri or Arkansas. The farmer who owns the land I hunt in Kentucky has a son who owns a nice little house three miles from my prime spots. It just happens to be vacant and I've arranged to rent it for $400 a month while we home shop. What tough luck, huh? I'm going to have to live for a while in prime bow hunting territory in Kentucky. I'll tough it out somehow.
By the first of November I fully intend to be hunting my own land in Missouri, but I really do appreciate your concern brother.
Best of luck to you, If you need a hunting partner, i'm retired also and i could be there in about 12 - 14 hrs.
I live in an incorporated township in the middle of nowhere there are county ordinances regarding how many dogs a household can have. Limit is 3. Can't say I would rent a house to somebody with 6 dogs.
Nope. Just pets and rescues. We have a Great Pyrenees, a Red Bone, a Black Lab, a Beagle, a Shepherd mix and a Pomchi. The farmer and his family know me and know that I'm one of those people who will leave a place in better shape than it was in when I got there. I guess it all depends on how responsible the dog owners are. Even though we have six dogs, you can't tell we have any by looking at our house. When we were showing our house the only indications we had dogs in the house were the dog door in the back door and the auto waterer. We got a lot of positive comments about that.
I had a picture hanging in my office of my SWAT days with my stache. I had to take it down. These morons around here kept making copies and posting it all over the office!
I have a sweet stache. The other day some guy asked me if anyone has ever told me I look like Ron Swanson, Nick Offerman, and I responded "Only hardware store employees asking for advice."
So, the part that worried us the most, the home inspection, is behind us. The inspector did find one thing that needs to be repaired. That was the pop-up drain in the jacuzzi tub. He couldn't get it to pop up. I've already fixed that, so now we wait for the appraisal, which was done yesterday, to come back. I'm really surprised by that. I'm an extreme do-it-yourselfer and I've remodeled this place from top to bottom over the past 13 years. I must have done a pretty decent job. Mid morning tomorrow I will be heading back to Kentucky. I plan to try to see the little house there tomorrow afternoon or sometime Friday. I plan to get a couple of morning sits in Friday morning and Saturday morning if it's not raining. If it's raining then I won't hunt. No one should bow hunt in the rain, especially not a colorblind guy like me. I never thought I'd say this, but at this moment I'm not worried about hunting at all. Some things are much more important than hunting. I'll add this: This past week might just rank up there with the most stressful week of my life. I'm not sure it was as stressful as the first week of Chief's initiation in the Navy, but if not it's a very close second.
