One week from today- is everyone getting ready?

Been trying to get things lined up.
Yesterday late after noon. Came home with with truck blowing transmission fluid all over place. Was to much a mess to even see where was coming from last evening. So I got a week to figure that mess out get it fixed. I'm hopping it just cooling line goes to radiator?
Always something but at least my trucks not sitting out by woods, or along highway.
I will get to the woods next Saturday if I have to take the wife's jeep.

Due to age and death my hunting group is down to me. I am still going to go but it doesn't have the excitement of years past.

Ok- we're off to a bad start- this was supposed to be more motivational
Let's try this:

You bet we are!!! Love it, grandson with grams and I and the gang for ten days.
Working on making him a good man. Deer are a bonus. Kids are on a two doe order. Each.
My mom 84 is my other focus, she is all geared up also.

That more what your looking for

I see Michigan isn't on that list. Primarily a buck hardly gets a chance to get beyond a 2 1/2 old before taken.

I am trying to get excited. Dad will miss opening weekend, he's out of state for a funeral. My great aunt, whose farm we hunt, is in her 3rd year of dementia, so staying at the farm is not as easy as it used to be. I'll hunt my back yard opening weekend and dad and I be at the farm on Monday. Next year I will have to get serious about finding somewhere new to hunt.

Yes , washing , packing , getting the turkey out to thaw buying groceries

sighted in the guns last Sunday

sounds like I am talking on the mentor role this year for my cousin's kid this year he is 14 and it is his first year hunting , also my cousins first year hunting he is 47 he talked about it back when we were in high school and just never did , now that his son wants to try hunting they took hunters education together.


my own son is 19 and is quite independent at deer camp been hunting since he was 11 trapping before that

I know it stinks we lost my great uncle right before season 2019

we are carrying on for as long as we can still got a good crew 9 maybe 10 this year, it is definitely changing and that average age keeps creeping up my great aunt who hosts camp is 87 and doesn't get out in the woods like she used to , lots of land ownership changes put us to not doing the drives we once did all weekend

I know how to get the mood , we need deer hunting songs

The 0- 6 Is sighted In. The elevated box blind Is ready. Deer have been working the food plot.
My younger hunting partners are ready to gut my deer and drag them out. Life Is good.

Good luck to those hunting the speedy beef.

We have switched this year and last year to hunting near home in zones where they want anterless harvests so we can work on our taco, chili, and Barbeque meat and sausages. We will go north to think about hunting for a buck but mostly to fush some grouse. Deer hunting pressure in the national forest where we are the last days has been almost zero.
Walked the area we will hunt two days ago. Lots of corn standing around us so we won't be able to see movement until it gets really close. Like sitting point, things happen quickly.

Our main group of 5 will be at camp Thursday through Monday. Stands are all set, menu is worked out, cases and cases of beer bought.

Hopeful we'll have a little better luck this year than the last 3. Three consecutive years without hanging a buck from the buck pole. We've shot 1 or 2 does in that time, but the buck pot continues to grow!

That buck was giving you a nice broadside shot! Too bad it was 15 minutes before legal shooting light!

15 min? More like an hour and 15 min.

The sun comes up earlier in Northern Wisconsin!
