I haven't been getting out much, busy in my last week of work, but two days to go now I am pretty well through handing off what I need to, and my give a dang is fading fast.
I'm a free man the rest of the season. Work when I want to work, hunt when I want to hunt. Wife is now my only boss. I have a decent runway to get my business off the ground so I am not pressing too hard until after the season. Little bit of a midlife sabbatical.
I whiffed on a doe Saturday morning. Sorry guys. 30 yard shot, release felt great, got it through the narrow window of branches I needed to, wham right over her back. Pretty sure she ducked it. Spent over an hour looking for my arrow and blood, nothing. Arrow had to have deflected. I was 99% sure I saw it go over, but I've had a couple shots where my eyes screwed with me. Didn't sound like a hit.
My cell cams have been dead for about a week and a half now. This weather just sucks but it is supposed to break Saturday. All the cams are over scrapes and I haven't had any bucks to speak of working them. I'm betting that changes this weekend.
