- Taking your daughter hunting is an excellent way to spend a Saturday.
- Holding a safety briefing next to a running generator is less than optimal.
- It felt really good this morning when the sun came up.
- I broke out a couple of MRE’s for lunch today.
- I had the Chili and Macaroni, which was quite tasty.
- Girlie Bear had the Vegetable Burger in Barbecue on Whole Wheat Bread.
- She said it tasted good, but that bread just didn’t look right.
- And seriously, veggie burgers in field rations? What are these people doing to my Army?
- Noticed a distinct lack of acorns and/or acorn caps under the trees this year. I hope the animals don’t have a problem getting through the winter because one of their principal sources of calories didn’t do well this year.
- Didn’t see hide nor hair of a deer all day. Saw a couple of places where it looked like they had bedded down and some old droppings. But the antlered beasts were notably absent.
- I simply must have words with their social secretary. I specifically asked that they be lined up according to weight at sunrise this morning so that I could pick out the pick of the herd.
- After several hours of hearing gunshots in the area around you, with no evidence of deer in your line of vision, you begin to wonder if it’s you.

/ November 17, 2012Glad I am not the only one whom hears shots and wonders what they are shooting at..
Bad year for us..I saw two does and one was driving back into our hunting area and the other was not paying attention, she saw me and was gone..(it was a beautiful morning I was tired about 10:30 and my eyes may have closed for a moment!!)
Went out to take blind down today and wind had mucked it up..rebuild and improve time..
Good luck!!

/ November 18, 2012Thanks! I know how it is drifting off when you’re hunting. I did that a few years ago and woke up with a big fox squirrel sitting on my leg eating an acorn.

/ November 19, 2012FWIW I’m having the *exact* same problems. Its my first hunt ever. So far all I’ve seen are some turkeys and tree rats.
Acorns – my mentors are telling me the white oaks are not producing this year but the red oaks are dumping buckets of acorns. My mentor got a button buck and it was full of corn and soybeans. So I guess you arent the only one with acorn troubles.
