I didnt want you to think I feel off the face of the earth so I figured I had better post. I do a quick read now and then but am way behind on here.
Aug-Nov was really busy at work moving offices and then to a new company which meant re-papering all client accounts. I put in a lot of extra hours. I managed to get hunting a few times on weekends.
One day I started the walk home to see fresh big tracks along my path he just never came into sight. Another day I had crashing around me, not in sight again. Once I had a buck chase a doe 70 yards away and then another doe come in 45 yards away and layed down against a tree and slept for an hour. She was right in the open and had no clue I was there. She woke to walk the other way and nothing phased her. She was at an angle I couldnt even get my bow had she come a little closer. I was still happy I was able to watch her sleep while I was trapped in my stand having to pee But that was a nice experience and I forced myself to stay put in that stand for 5 1/2 hrs that morning. One of those days the cold went away from excitement
After that I have not been out once. My 91 yr old Grandfather went to ER with jaundice caused by a gallstone blockage, the ultrasound also showed an 8.5 cm abdominal aneyurism. The blockage was blasted and the aneyurism removed through the groin. He is now home and doing well. I am their only family close by and Grandma needs help driving at night and in the city now (she is only 78 but has glaucoma). My Mom came home for a couple weeks to help out as well. My Grandfather had not been in a hospital in 60 years and other than 17% kidney function he is in good health. He does not need dialysis but has watched his diet for a few years. He is a very lucky man to have such a great life at his age and I am fortunate to have them close to me. So hunting was put on the back burner but my Grandparents will be having Christmas dinner at my house I am now down to doing their errand on Saturdays.
So Merry Christmas to you all! I hope to hunt one more day before New Years so wish me luck

To be a vegetarian is to listen to the live carrot gradually screaming as it drowns in a pot of boiling water …. Which is more ethical to you ?? :roll: :lol:

Re: An update for you all
Good to hear from you Bugs!!
As they say; Born to hunt, Forced to work.
Everybody has to take a break from hunting (as much as we'd like) from time to time. Family always comes first. Good for you for taking care of your folks.

Merry Christmas Bugs. I haven't been on the Board much either so it's nice to hear things went reasonably well for your family this fall.
