I had to be pretty tuned up last night bc I set my alarm on my phone at 4pm instead of am. So I was an hr late getting up, now I'm in a big hurry.
No time for breakfast, guzzlin my coffee like a fiend, takin care of a few things that I'd completely forgotten about......and out the back door I go.
I make it up in the tree at 6:45 - a good 30-45min late for my preference. BUt, no matter..... Its opening day of muzzleloader season & nuthins gonna get me down.
If ZI was turkey hunting today, I could have filled 15yrs worth of tags today. Not a single deer or anything else until I got down at 5:40 & headed back to the house.
If I'd have had t drive an hr or more to get to where I hunt, then walk a good ways, I'd have been totally hosed for hunting this morn.
I did manage to remember to turn my phone on silent mode, but more bonehead points bc I didn't fix my error with the alarm.....and at 4pm it went off - letting everything within a cpl hundred yards know theres an idiot out here. Goot thing I loaded up on snacks this morn. My big fanny pack on my utility belt looks like I'd been trick or treating.
The skeeters were terrible in the early morn, then some breeze picked up & they weren't bad after that & it helped keep it semi cool too. I could have hunted in shorts & teeshirt today.
Still, a wonderful day to be back up in my self climber with my trusty ole Accura again. I just got that to group well enough to hunt with 2 days ago. I got a cpl 24pks of the 195g .40 Barnes Expanders.
I can't wait to put one thru a deer this yr.. Hopefully I'm not hurting too bad to drag my butt back out in the morning & if I don't see anything again, I'll spend the rest of the afternoon relocating.
I passed on a friends wedding today. I told him that if he wanted me there, he shouldn't have planned it on opening day of early muzzleloader season. I'd miss my own wedding for that.
