That right there is the biggest reason I enjoy hunting. Not seeing owls, just being able to be enough a part of nature to see things happen as if I weren't there. Hope it all works out with the vehicles too.
Things are looking up.
doe down.
Came in about five minutes from last post. mature easy shot no trailing she just ran 15 yards and fell. Alone which is weird for doe. Just finished washing hands after field dressing. And of course now it is not raining. Nice not having to travel far to hunt three minutes drive is sweet. Doe in truck was the hardest part. Easier with a second person but you gotta do what you gotta do. 4 wheel drive chevy pickups a little tall to lift em in alone. She ran out of woods and dropped right at the field edge. Did not even have to drag just drive up and field dress. Getting ready to call in to DNR. So maybe things looking up. Should be a nice afternoon to do some butcher work but my butcher is hunting till noon or so with his son. Only heard one shot other than mine this am.
Now the truck is weird. Kicks out of gear and glides at about 34 mph. Then kicks back in second. Fluid level is ok but does not look real good. Maybe it will he just a drain filter flush and refill with new but some how I don’t think so. Either way being an off road I can’t remember how hard it is to get to it with the skid plates.
Meat is back on on the table boys.
