Good luck with both fin and fur Rich, hope you score with both.
Your right- its the experience and not the weight of the game bag that counts.
That said , we are predators and once in a while ya gotta score.

40 hrs hunting woods in 5 days so far. Not counting the prior scouting.
I'm a predator and yes it's gets frustrating but I know, it only takes 1 .these are on our cameras and in our woods. No place I'd rather be right now.

Weather looks terrible up there starting tomorrow night. Snow and lots of it.

I don't have unlimited funds and time, so there is such thing as waste.  I'd rather do something for the elderly or vets instead of playing around to not much end. To each their own.

Me neither. Things like that and this are on a budget with help from friends. Nothing much today comes without another $20. So whats 1 more.
If fishing or hunting are my vacations with friends and family , I'll take it.
I can't afford to get on a jet airplane

Wet, wet and wetter here today. Snowing up on my mountain.
Regroup by a hot fire today before I head back to the woods tomorrow.

It felt good to take a hot shower instead of washing outta a cold water bucket, lol

The LE event did not amount to much. Covered the ground and not much else. Coldest air of the season tonight, glad the fire is going. A few more days till vacation and hopefully some fishing

I could not stand another day staring at trees so I cut some instead.
Pretty nice to relax. It seemed everyone in this episode was in that state of mind tonight.
Focus tomorrow.

Starting to snow in Cuse but nothing here yet. Last day of work tomorrow. Here is hoping for some snow so I have a light day tomorrow so I can get out on time. Still have to get the plow on the truck so I hope it stays below a foot from this next one
 

I have 7"+ on the ground in the mid Hudson Valley.  The revised forecast is saying 12" possible.
