Chilly with the wind this morning at work. Hunted tonight warmest part of the day I think, ended up getting bit again by a skeeter. Skunked. Try and try we must.

I’m hunting Friday Saturday and Sunday because I’m having knee surgery on Wednesday the 4th. I have a bet with my wife that I’ll be in the ground blind on the 6th even if I have to get out there with crutches. I am not missing rut!!
If it is just a scope, I'll make fun of you if you aren't out on the 5th. (Yes. Shaming for purposes of motivation.

I can see this..... some guy is stalking thru the woods, listening to to sounds , seeing the squirrels and chipmunks bound about. As he stands there, he's listening to the sounds of a squirrel chewing on its bounty. He looks up to the sound expecting to see a bushytail perched on a limb..... but what da fuck ?? He sees Dustin with his cheeks full of cheetos.

This is knee surgery number 4. Had 3 on right knee already and this is first on the left. They are removing a 2.5cm section of torn femoral cartilage that is flapped over and causing me a lot of catching and pain. I plan to be walking without crutches on the 5th and suited up for hunting on the 6th. Wife is already pissed because she is a doctor and says I have no business hunting 2 days after surgery. We have a little wager, and I will not lose this one.If it is just a scope, I'll make fun of you if you aren't out on the 5th. (Yes. Shaming for purposes of motivation.

Attaboy! My wife is a nurse at the orthopedic center I had my last meniscus cleaned up. She couldn't believe I ditched the crutches that night. I was out in a salt truck in under a week. Thinking 4-5 days post surgery. In/out of the Bobcat to load trucks. Spread salt. Glad I didn't need to plow. Stole my Foreman's truck which is an automatic. He took my standard transmission truck on that snow event. Lol

Settled in on some public again. Little bit of rain with a chance of it getting heavier. I typically don’t like to bowhunt in the rain due to tracking a washed out blood trail, but figuring I only get 1 morning a week to hunt I should probably be out. Perfect wind and rain jacket on. Fingers crossed.
Been steady here since about 10 last night. Lol. Good luck Hannah! Shoot a stud and make me make the drive north to see it!!!

Half rack spike just crossed thru. Better than nothing so far I guess.

Why not. It's a coat & PJ kind of day & I can post my memes just as comfy from here.
Some does just left so maybe something will come looking. Nothing else to do ....

I still have yet to see a deer while hunting this season. Cams are loaded with pics but everything is nocturnal here. 20 acres and I have 4 cams hitting all the trails. These deer just don’t come out during the day.

Skunked once again. But... My fat groundhog buddy sat 20 yards in front of my blind and chewed on cornstalks for 2 straight hours. So at least I had some company and entertainment.

He’s my buddy. He comes to check on me every time I hunt my blind. And for now, I don’t need a bloody groundhog carcass where I hunt.I would have killed my friend the groundhog.
Deer first, then I’ll take him out.
