Well it’s official, I’m a bitch! Got up around 4 and stayed up until time to wake up which was 5. Didn’t have it in me to go hunting. I’m tired, don’t really have a spot, my stand is broke and I’m not really a saddle guy. Time to pack up and tuck tail and head home. Hunter is in the woods and hasn’t seen anything as of yet. 50 degrees and sunny, here I am with no gumption to do what I love to do. Getting old sucks. Tag soup is gonna be what’s for dinner more often than not from here on out.

The drive will come back. Mine has played hide and seek for a few years.

So Hunter hunted yesterday as Dj and I drove home. I get a text from him and it read “I can’t fuckin win”. I text him back and ask what do you mean. He proceeds to tell me had a 130’s 8 broadside @30 yards. Arrow flew straight until a few feet from the buck and took a hard turn. I said you hit a twig or something. He says nope but after some time I tell him to shoot an arrow to make sure it’s not his bow. He shoots his blunt tipped arrow and says dead on. Then he sees the tiny limb. This is at two thirty.

After getting home at 10 pm after a 12 hr drive, dj and myself got up at 4 to go crabbing. Rough as all get out today and get a text from Hunter “got a decoy”. Again I text him huh? Then he says doe. Bedded or dead I ask. He said dead at 15 yards. He shot her and pulled her in range to finish the days hunt out. Then he text me 2 big shooters in the thicket where he lost his big buck. Nothing else showed up so he pulled his stuff and got the doe processed after dark. Guess where he will be in the morning

.

For the record I wish I was back in the tree. I’m back baby! Going to the camp for this weekend. Gonna shoot some ducks in the morning then sit in stand in the evening. Time to me getting back to me. Duck and rifle season opens Saturday.

It’s against my moral fibers to sleep in, I’d rather miss an evening hunt. Something about the day waking up and anticipating what I will see as day brakes.

A little, missed the wife but missed Pearl a whole lot more

. Think it was the primitive camping and the grind. I get frustrated w bow hunting, really any deer hunting. I don’t have to kill just see deer from my stand. Couple days of sqadouch and I’m tired of it. I’m a duck hunter at heart, love action and interaction w my buddy’s while hunting. Deer hunting is a loner sport.
