Took the really long way around to come up and change these batteries. Cut 2 sets of tracks. This place is toast for a few years. Carrying all this extra weight for nothing.

There isn't until there is
We have been flying the property with a drone every couple of weeks. There really isn't anything here. 7 deer on about 500 acres we have looked at. 5 of them are bucks, 3 i thought were shooters. I seen the biggest of them all chasing a fawn this evening.

I didnt have it in me to shoot him. 2 year old that might go 140 when he is 6. Maybe tomorrow I will kill him but im hoping something else shows up. Reality is that there is nothing to show up. But I keep doing the same thing expecting different results. Insanity.

Good thing is that I finally seen deer! Not skunked today!

Not being skunked is great! The point i was making was there's always that one chance that something youre unaware of could possibly come by out of nowhere it only takes one time also the love of it , getting out there knowing your chances are shit simply because its part of you and who you are and that small whim of hope that anything could happen. Sure beats not going! Rooting for ya brother

Meh, ive done my research here and I am well aware of the reality. I appreciate your hope, and I will be out again tomorrow. But I am also well aware that my refusing to give up is something I am doing to myself. I need to move on but can't. Feels like teenage love.
