My friend took his first time there doe yesterday. I passed on 22 yesterday but took my harvest size animal today , on the last day of our 13 days on the mountain.
The deer in the picture is my son with his personal best on the mountain last Saturday. A few lifetime memories are made on that mountain and I'm glad to be a part of them.

Nice Rich. Although I still get my license every year I lost my zeal for hunting about the time I started fishing more 15 or so years ago.  I just can't sit still and stay warm, even with the gear on. With fresh beef coming in the need for ''healthy'' meat is not a priority. 

Glad to hear y'all scored.

...... and so closes another chapter in the book of memories.  Congratulations to you and your son, HT.
 
Tomorrow I shall continue my hunt not for the elusive PA.White Tailed Antlered Deer but rather for my new adobe.  Rumor has it there may be a real wall hanger coming about and I don't want to miss out.  Tomorrow brings a go look see and I'm hoping the place is for me.
 
Plenty of time remains for a harvest as tomorrow is the first day of a two week season and what with the weather forecast, I'll just let the first day pass.

I was an avid hunter instilled by the guidance through my grandfather and dad.
As I was a young boy and growing, they seemed to grow faster. Saddened was the days both passed away, it took the gumption out of hunting for me and i turned to more fishing throughout the hunting times.
It's my children, now adults, that want to share that experience I once had.
I am so grateful for them , they are good solid people.
Someday, all to soon , they will pass that experience along to my grandchildren.

Peace and tuna.

May your sights be true

My dad is not an outdoorsmen at all. He is a tried and true sports guy and we share our time with that and the farm. Sadly I really have no one to share my outdoor experiences with so things like hunting which is truly not a passion gets put to the side. A high school girlfriends father got me into fishing and we try to go when we can , but he is a caregiver to his wife so his time away is limited. I guess I really like fishing because I do not mind  doing it alone and it gives me clarity. The times I do send fishing with friends are priceless. As Cheryl Crow says ''If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad''.

Don't like this weather right now.
Rainy and muddy.

Yep rained hard here pretty much all day. I think we will be spared the brunt of the next storm

Woke up to 4 inches of snow.
