A week of Hunting

 Saturday 7 November 2020

    The day started out like any other day of hunting up at 4:30 to my stand by 6:00 and then wait until 9 or 10 to come in.  But today I was bored and texted Diane to tell her that, she said come on in and we will have a cooked breakfast.  Sounded good to me I said and started to pack up my gear.  I wasn't even on the ground when she texted back no breakfast we were going to the laundromat Rudy got sick threw up on the bed soaked down to mattress pad.  So instead of a cooked breakfast we had cereal.  Diane went to wash all the bed clothes Rudy and I rested.  By the time Diane returned it was time for the evening hunt up to my tree at 2:30 watch for deer until 5:15  Diane would pick me up and and have a sippy cup of wine for which made it all worth while.

   No hunting today breakfast on the grill then we headed over to Norman's hill to do some scouting  for rifle season.  A few nice rubs but really not a lot of deer sign.  Into Westfield for mushrooms to go with our steaks.  Back to the camper started a fire and settled in for the night.  The weather continues be very warm highs in the 70's every day.

Thursday 12 November 2020

   The sunny nice weather has come to an end and we are back to normal 45 degrees cloudy with a lite breeze. I keep thinking about why I missed that deer on Tuesday so I picked up the bow to reenact the shot and notice the scope is all fogged up and it appears to be on the inside.  Upon further examination I notice a scuff on the limb of the bow so apparently the bow limb hit the tree with enough force to break the scope, changed the trajectory of the arrow and made it miss.  It was not my fault after all.  I was froze by 8:30 but lasted until 9:30 any way.  Back out for the evening hunt while Diane we to Barbers sporting store and picked up wings from the VFW. Yum.

Friday 13 November 2020

   Big change today out at 6:00 in at 8 am, no I didn't get a deer I had to meet the septic guy at Ben's cabin at 9am.  It didn't give me much time but I made it and the outhouse is empty.  Stopped a the gun shop for a bow scope (didn't have any) stopped again for gas and finally made it back for lunch.  Out for the evening hunt (nothing) roast beef and turnips for dinner.  And that is it for this hunting trip.

    Heading to Dillsburg today.  Just like all our travel days we started backing right after breakfast and I'll figure out why but we are always much later than we planned.  Today a perfect example it was 10:30 before we were ready or so we thought.  I was bringing in the big slide when it just stopped (OMG) tried several times before it came all the way in. Next Diane ran the check over to the office and noticed the entrance steps kept going in and out.  I was still in the parking lot stopped and they finally stopped or so I thought. I went to the gas station 10 miles away the steps going in and out the whole time.  Filled up with fuel hooked up the truck and pulled out it was 11:45 almost noon before we were rolling.  And the steps worked just fine the rest of the trip.  Made it to Dillsburg in record time parked and hooked up by 4:15
