I carry extra with me . Yea the wind keeped they off me during my nap . I am not out today . Doing laundry , and getting my m---- l ---- ready if I decide to use them .

Take that BP for a day or two, you been working way too hard not to get some of that delicious venison!!!!

I drew for friday at the refuge. Hate to bring the smoke pole but some meat is definitely tempting me.

One more outing with the ML then back to the recurve . I have had several chances , but just have not been able to get it done . Hunting with medical problems has me pushing my self to my limits , but not being able to do things just how I would rather . This has driven home to me just how important all the little things that we do as hunters are . I am tired and sore , and wint to do so much more. I am looking forward to Sunday's and Monday's cooler temperatures , and having the CH in my hands agean .

May life's simplest things bring you the greatest pleasures !!!

I was heading home today ,but Monday and Tuesday weather forecast has me thinking I may stay a little longer . I am going to try my  lone wolf hand climber this afternoon . I need to get out farther into the wet marsh . I have never used a climber be for and am somewhat nervous about it . We will see .

good luck with the climber remember to use your safty rope, shoot straight.

Still a sika rookie here but I learned early that if your feet aren't wet, you aren't going to see too many.

On another note, one was picked up dead on the road about 5 miles from my house last week.  They're expanding their territory.

This is the day I am headed home .I am packing up now . I could stay for ever , with the hope of the next day being the one where I get my shot . I had a good tome . The Dorchester marches are a special place . I had a number of opportunities at stags and hinds , but just could not get it done . I have learned a lot and only my own limitations kept it from happening . I we'll be back in November , on my way to or back from Thanksgiving with my daughter in NC . For all those not at full potential . Old age ,medical problems , or disabilities  . Get out and do what you can . Work at your own limits . Try not to get frustrated at what could be , but enjoy what is . There is no better tonic for your mind and body than the loving arms of mother earth .

May life's simplest things bring you the greatest pleasures !!!!

Sounds like you had fun Rich. After hunting a weekend with you, your limitations were not evident as far as I'm concerned. Keep doing what you love.

Thanks for Taking us Rich.  Time to chase white tails before you head back down.

How did the Lone Wolf work out for you?

I used a strap , turning the hand climber into a sit down climber . I think I am a lock on guy .
