Good for you. I tried for that tag, also. Now I know who to blame.

S,S,S...

I have a 5 year old daughter. Probably in about 10 years when she wants to go on her first date I’ll be glad I bought the back 40!

Today, I started loading the truck - for departure tomorrow. This is slightly crazy. I'm pretty sure my truck shrunk because this is taking way too much space and I know I always take this stuff.

It occurs to me that if Pleistocene man had to go through this whenever he wanted to go out and kill something for dinner, mammoths and woolly rhinos would still be with us today.

Snuck up on this mushroom

And later I tracked down it’s ladybug friend

Only took 5 miles of hiking to do it!
(Sorry for the lame dad humor. Can’t help it!)

I loaded a tote of hunting gear, complete with a list, loaner cloths- that my brothers will inevitably forget and put rings on a rifle.
Waiting for new optics for said rifle to trade brother for work on my truck. He is waiting on new radiotor for my truck, installed new brake booster, and replaced the fluids.. We are both waiting on a new headache rack for my truck which will have winch mounted.
Opening is Saturday.

Set up email auto reply to start Friday afternoon. Organized all my camp gear last night. Almost time for Wyoming...

Moved the dozer next to the barn, put the rear blade on the tractor and filled up the diesel tank. May not need it but the chances of disrupting hunting are diminished if I am prepared for the worst. I can clear snow in the dark.

Shot my rifle a few more times today. Got most of the non-perishable food and supplies packed in totes.

Replaced the storm door on the chicken coop that was damaged during Tropical Storm Beta. Dang thing made it through a full blown hurricane a month before and then succumbs to a tropical storm...

 

[Wildabeest]

Made a batch of venison chili that I’ll freeze in 1 qt ziplocks for my 10 day hunt in MT over Thanksgiving.

I got a permission slip signed for my friend so he could join me for the VA muzzleloader Opener tomorrow. I bow hunted after seeing the landowner and saw a doe and two turkeys. Full moon, frosty night, and the rain clouds have moved out. We ought to have work tomorrow.

 

[Shangobango]

Just started the auto reply on my company email. Will wake up tomorrow 3 hours out from being in the area we are hunting. Finally...

I set up my wall tent in the yard and checked for missing parts and damage. All clear, ready to pack and go.

Checked zero before the rifle opener tomorrow. Werner step ladder makes a decent rest for this.
