Well tonight is a set of mixed emotions. I came back to the farm that I have hunted for the last 34 years for the last time. It will be clear cut in the next few weeks for enlargement of the cattle operation. So many memories here. I'm sure grateful to have my farm to hunt next year. But will sure miss "The jungle". So tonight it will be a few pictures, one last sunset here, and the last evening for the Old M1 Garand to have a chance to bark. 2020 still has been good to us. 3 generations filled tags this year. Dad score on a doe for freezer and my son and I both probably took our largest bucks to date.

My view for the evening off my back deck. Started working outside, burning stuff, then broke out the chainsaw and just got finished. If one happens to come through the backyard it’s in trouble. Otherwise time to get the muzzy ready.

Live from the camper. Set up at versailles hoping for more snow than rain in the morning. Beautiful evening looks like a dozen or so rigs set up and one group in tents. I have definitely out grown that. The knee isn't happy about the hike, but the MRI isn't until Wednesday so any damage is the same damage right? :-)

I'd prefer 3 to 4 but I'll be happy with any white blanket I can get.

Well, I held out until the last evening of firearms season to take a doe. I shot her 15 minutes after climbing into my ladder stand with a suppressed AR-15 pistol chambered in .300 AAC Blackout. The shot was right in the heart. I hadn't hunted much over the 4-day weekend due to putting brakes on my truck and running into problems. Did one side Friday night and ran into problems on the other side Saturday morning, so I ended up buying another caliper after the brakes on one wheel stuck on the test drive and smoked. I was just too worn out to get out of bed this morning. LOL! I did check the zero on my smokeless muzzleloader this afternoon after cleaning it. I must not have dried it out well enough, as the first shot was a tiny pop and I actually saw the bullet lob out in a short arc. LOL! The second shot was dead nuts in the bullseye at 100 yards, so I'm good to go next weekend. It's buck only for me the rest of the season.

Bust today, no turkeys to watch either. Just darn squirrels. Nephew is ready for next weekend though. Wife not so much. The end of my 9 day vacation is over. I have work tomorrow at least I'll get 2 extra hours of sleep tonight. Put the camera up on one of the trails that run down onto my ridge. Hope to see the 8pt running back there after this week, fear some of the shots we heard very well may have been him though.
