It's been a tough road so far this year. My thumb responded to my 'burning nettles' 48 hrs treatment this week and there is zero pain. I got the bow out yesterday and everything was OK.
I smoked my hunting clothes and went down and smoked up the inside of my hunting tower. I also put up a mock scrap tree 25 yds from the tower. This my 1st attempt at a mock scrape tree. I cut down a oak stapling that was in the way and wired it to a T-post and made a scrape under it with human scent on the ground. LOL
Just got a call from my younger brother who has health issues so I asked him to go with me in the morning. He joked no TV in the tower, but I told him it's insulated with heat. I'll try and take a deer for him. It'll be fun hunting with him in comfort.
