A little disheartening looking at the forecast. WTHR show`s likely sleet/drizzle/rain all afternoon...I hate sitting out in the rain, but I think I`m going to drive out to Putnam County and see what we get... You got to go can’t get one from the couch I fill your pain been out myself hard to bail out of bed or go out in the evening when the weather sucks

Getting ready to take the de-scent shower, load the truck and head west. I actually have a pretty good feeling about this hunt, so long as the rain doesn`t drive us out of the woods early.

My son shot a big doe this morning. There were three bucks following a small group of does. Big 8, mediocre 6 and a half rack in that order. One of them must have been smelling good he said the bucks wouldn’t leave them alone. He already filled his buck tag so he just enjoyed watching them.

Even though my detractors will have a field day with this, oh well, here I go...drove all the way to Putnam County, got hand warmers out and activated, rubber boots on, sweatshirt and hunting parka on, just about to head out to the spot to hunt, and see that my muzzleloader is still sitting back in the garage at home. This season just won`t relent with the trials and tribulations.
My buddy said come back tomorrow. I don`t typically hunt afternoons the day before I have to be at work the next day, because I get up so early for work and it would be difficult to track, gut, drag and get a deer to the processor and make it to work the next morning. But with it being the last day of muzzleloader...I guess that`s what PTO is for...ok guys, go ahead, flame away on my misfortune, I can take it.

( Insert huge eye roll) I know man, I know. I`m not the first, or the last to goof up, and I know I`m not special. It`s just embarrassing, frustrating, and hard to accept after having such an already trying season. I am so crazy blessed. I told my buddy why I initially wasn`t going to hunt tomorrow, and he never hesitated, he said he and his wife would get the deer to the processor for me if I kill something...wow, I was floored. I told him that getting a deer to the processor wouldn`t be the deal breaker for me, and that if I`m able to make a kill tomorrow, I`d gladly get it to the processor. But wow, what a great friend...I`m still just floored...

It was a bust this am. I made like a tree, everything else did too. Wind was crazy I'd say at least steady 12 with 15-16 mph gusts of course it died way down by time I got back to the truck at noon. Checked a cam and then moved it to a scrape that seems to keep getting hit, put my second cam back up on my ridge just to see what comes by when I am not there. I Won't be going out tomorrow, Will be crossbow if I do get back out.

No flames here, I did the same thing but during rifle season on the last day of a hunt in Wi. I stayed in ther while a buddy went hunting. I barely got the seat tipped back and my eyes closed when I heard a shot, then the phone went off, "can you help me field dress this thing?" I had left the rifle and case leaning up against the garage when he tossed me the snow brush to clean my side of the truck off..........
