I felt well enough to go hunting this weekend with my father at the family hunting camp.
No kill but I had a great time and my spirit is renewed by the fresh air and fellowship that deer camp always provides.

The morning started off foggy

Me and my 81 year old father (the master)

In my treestand the next morning with high hopes

one of my shooting lanes in a hardwood bottom next to a BIG SWAMP

My rifle and custom hunting knife

My new hunting buddy

I always have a good time in the woods and this time was no exception but since my sickness things mean more to me than ever before and to still have my dad to hunt with is great.
My new years resolution is to make the most of every moment granted to me by God and to let the people in my life know how much they mean to me and to thank the soldgers everyday for the freedoms they provide me and my family.
May God bless each and every one of you as he has blessed me.

Way to GO Saxman!!! Not every hunt ends with a kill... mine sure don't

I am glad you are feeling better! My dad passed away few years ago... it sure would be nice to have him around... Enjoy your family and the out doors.

Theres nothing better than huntin with your Dad! That is the best time you'll ever spend in my opinion. Right there with huntin with your kids. Always, consider yourself lucky for the time you have togeather and make the most of it.
