October 1…It’s too late to get it done in September, sorry about that!

A day trip is planned for today, one more attempt at killing a buck and filling the tag.  Weasel, Tracker, Bones and I are headed for the hills and hopefully will come back with two bucks tied to the roof and blood running down the windshield.  Why only 2 bucks?  Tracker and Bones don’t have licenses, that’s why.

Our plan is to head back toward where we had our camp and road hunt back toward home.  That’s what old hunters do, road hunt.  The weather is supposed to be really good today with a big change coming tomorrow.  It should have the deer out feeding in anticipation of the new front coming and from being cooped up from the last storm that just passed through.  At any rate, it should be a good day afield.

MaPa’s is out and about and anticipates the “loss” of his daddy again and won’t come back in from the garage.  He is such a loyal little guy.  But he can’t go with me and so he will be staying home with his mom (Winemaker).  Hopefully I’ll come home with some smelly old buck for his entertainment later on.

Day trips are always hard for me to make sure I have all the stuff I might need, but they say, “License, gun and bullet is all you need, everything else is luxury”.  I suppose that holds true, and I have those three things already packed.  Plus, lunch, drinks, shovel, come along, handyman jack, rope, extra oil, first aid kit, coat, gloves, water, cell phone, tow chain…..we should survive should we have to stay the night.

Well, wish us luck and we are out of here.  A report will follow on this same posting!
