Three Days!!!

Rifle season opens in three days. Yay! I love the woods. I generally take along a good book, listen to the sounds of God's creation and pray. It's very very good alone time with the Lord. So even if I don't see anything the time was still well spent. Sometimes even during the off season I want to just go out in the middle of the woods alone and just meditate. Hunting season makes it that much more fun though.

The night before last I went and bought my last necessities for the season. I have a whole kit devoted "to keepin' you from a stinkin'." LOL. No the scent away kit. By buddy Christopher turned me onto the good idea of using all of that stuff. He said his dad used all of it and the deer never smelled him, so I figured it a good investment. I also bought some scent wafers, they smell like dirt. Wait a second...I just payed money to smell like dirt, not well thought out. Oh well guys will be guys I guess. The last think I bought, not really a necessity, a rattle bag. It seems my first rattle buck I ever shot had the antlers stilled...yes I just said stilled. I hope it works well, we'll see.

Some of this money would have been well spent on some more rounds for my rifle, I only have three left, but I'll budget for those next month. Judging by all of the shots I fired last year, three rounds should last me...oh I don't know...till the return of Christ maybe. LOL. But yeah hopefully I'll bag a big one this year. Greg tells me not to shoot anything I wont be proud to put on the wall. And so no one will shoot small bucks on his property he says if you shoot a buck you must mount it, and no one wants to mount a spike. That keeps us from getting too trigger happy.

Well I'm gonna start getting ready Thursday evening. I'll have rifle ready and camera on for you guys!

Happy Hunting.
