I retired (temporarily most likely) in June. Going to spend time with my granddaughter who was born in June. Went hunting in South Africa. Made a trip to Minnesota for the second time this year. Plus we have made it to numerous shoots. We attended Compton, Cloverdale, KyTradFest, Greencastle PA while visiting Gettysburg and Antietam battlefields.
We still have to go to South Carolina for our youngest graduation from basic training. He has a week and then we move him back to college. Plus, we still have more shoots to attend.
No doldrums here.

I haven't got much office time at work thus far this summer. We started a project for "Uncle Sam" and I have to be on site daily as quality assurance and safety. Office time allows me to "browse" the interweb a little. We got rained out today so I'm browsing :biglaugh:

I’ve been thinking the same thing. It’s been kind of boring lately without any hunting tales. I can’t wait.

Pinched a nerve in my lower back and got talked into trying a chyro-quacktor. Went two times and was actually was getting better when the “doc”gave me the Covid.
Good times.
Over it now, so it is back to prepping for fall. (Got six 4 Blade Deltas so that should keep me busy sharpening for the next month or two, just saying)
I am going to go full in on hunting public ground in the Ozarks.
Mountain hunting has been a frustrating leaning experience, but I am chipping away at it a little at a time.
I have been blessed to kill some really nice bucks in the last twenty years, mostly in the big woods of the Arkansas delta and 3 in Kansas.
So a few years (or more) of getting humbled won’t hurt.

I retired a year ago. Woodworking projects keep me busier than I thought they wood. Learning to use my drone, rc airplanes, and involving grandchildren in all the above have me hopping (on one leg).
I go tomorrow morning to schedule a right hip replacement.

Also, working to improve my own mental game as I have let a solid 160’s buck(12 yards) and a solid 150’s buck(14 yards) slip thru my fingers the past two seasons…both errors were due to impatience.

Finally got a break in the weather so I'm going to try to get a camera or two up. Fletching some arrows for a buddy who is a new trad shooter. Shooting most nights. Everytime I "decide" what bow I want to carry, I start shooting a different one...lol. Typical summer stuff.

As of right now most of my prep work is getting ready for mule deer in September so I'm spending a lot of time on the phone with biologists and scouting via Google maps and such. It's been taking up what little free time I have right now, but I really enjoy it. Figured practicing in this heat probably isn't the worst idea since I doubt it I'll be much cooler in September in Nebraska. Looking forward for everyone's fall to get going though and for the hunting stories to start rolling in!

Been fooling around getting set up for that trip as well as taking care of 3 different deer hunting places. The wife is nuts to fish in the salt, so whenever we have time off in the spring or summer we run down to the Coast.
Still manage to squeeze work in somehow....been on short timeline high priority stuff last few years (I work in Pharma) so it's been nuts on timelines. Wanting to write more, been working on a project on and off, but life gets in the way!
Best 3 months of the year coming up soon! Ready to spend some time in a tree....

Got my house and land of for sale...so I have been mowing weekly and double timing the cleaning and upkeep. Given a new September archery season here, I have hung about 12 stands in the last couple of weeks in addition to keeping my hunting camp up.
I also have a new grand daughter that is due to be born today! Headed to the hospital in a few hours.
It's been an unusual summer; but I still try to look at the forum and make a post or two on occasion:)

Summer has been pretty busy around around here so far. A new job and new vehicle have been taking up a lot of my time right now, but still been trying to make a little bit of time every evening to shoot in the back yard or head to the range for a bit. Haven't done as much summer scouting as I'd like but am hoping to change that here fairly soon.

I haven't pulled a bow since June 4, when I had a bad bicycle wreck and broke my right (drawing arm) shoulder. Then... I twisted my knee real bad and it's been swollen and very hard to walk for a couple weeks. And... my septic field has failed, and I'm just so thrilled to get to pay someone to put in a new one next month.... And for the past three months something weird is going on and my electric bill has been triple what it should be.
I would say I'm looking forward to getting back in the woods... I'm in Alaska, and hunting season is coming! But I can't draw a bow or maybe even hold a gun. Can't even go for a decent walk in the woods!
I would LOVE to hear some good Tradgang stories to take my mind off all this stuff!

I found out the hard way that shooting a bag target with Zwickey Eskimo broadheads is a bad idea. I went out and bought a foam target rated for “all broadheads” and will continue to practice till hunting season.
