Well fellars, today is the last day of IN whitetail season. I got out for a bit this a.m. and had some turkeys offer themselves, but the fall season ended in Oct. For being a stupid bird, they sure seem to know what time of year it is!!
I spent less time in the woods this season than anytime I can recall. My work this year has been an hour and a half drive from home, so evening hunts were out of the picture. Bad weather made for some short days, but I had to work some Saturdays to make them up. My grandson, Andrew got his pacemaker installed in Oct. and I missed some work and hunting days to be in TN with him. His drs. released him to travel for CHRISTmas and we spent from CHRISTmas Day until yesterday with my son, daughter-in-law and Andrew, so I took no time for the woods.......there is always next year (I hope and pray!!LOL!!). Planned to get out there this evening, but a good friend lost her aunt and the visitation is this afternoon.
As I've grown older, I guess my priorities have changed. Time in the woods with my bow is still very important to me, but I realize that time with friends and family are the most important.
For the past several weeks, I have hunted through my friends here on the 'gang. After a day of slogging thru the mud and here lately, ice, I looked forward to firing up the laptop to share in your hunts, your misses and your successes. I've been in on tracking elk, moose, deer and hogs. I've got to meet new additions to the family and got to share my grandson with all of you thru prayers and photos. Some of you have allowed me to share my humble opinions on hunting, shooting and gear and you have willing shared the same with me.
I thank you all and especially Terry and Rob for making the tradgang what it is. You folks and this site has made an otherwise bleak season a memorable one. God Bless and a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year to all!
Mike
