Weird. I wonder if he will survive

Nature is damn resilient.

I just left deer camp after almost 12 days of being out there. I know I'm getting older because I didn't take a buck in almost two weeks of hunting, but the trip was incredible, and I'm very thankful. Ten years ago me would have been pretty upset with myself for not getting a big buck, but I put two does in the freezer, shot a couple of pigs and a couple of yotes, and my liver is still intact as far as I know.

What I do know is that I left with less than what I came with when I first climbed into the blind. That is definitely a perspective that has improved with age.

I'm probably the worst millennial of all time with my phone, and I always forget to take pictures, but I did remember to take one to show a buddy the mobile gantry set up I have.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, and here is to closing out the season strong.

I bet he gets made fun of a lot.

I had a buck about 10 years ago that was a little 4 pt but broke damn near the base of his skull on one side. I guess the skin was holding it in place because it just dangled on the side of his head. When he got scared (feeder going off or hog coming in) it would bounce all over and hit him in the face. Can't imagine that was very fun for that guy or this guy.

Gantry makes a one person job much easier. I built one for my jeep using the winch this year after trying to hoist one into my truck. Not as young anymore makes dressing and loading so much easier.

Finally some decent hunting weather in Duval Co. this morning. Bucks should be starting to get interested in does pretty soon.

Just wet enough to have the powder stick to the bottom of your boots.

Killing weather around B/CS this morning. I'm on kid duty but buddies are out in some of my stands.

Tried to talk the daughter into going after a buck but she just shrugged and said she'd rather duck hunt. So we're going to bust up the wood duck roost in the rain this evening.

Well about the time to fill sausage tags with does.

Despite the cold and wet and dreariness and lack of wind the deer had other plans today in Duval. Overall slow. Need to take a few does but they all have twins with them and if they don't have twins they have a single. Tough to pull the trigger on mamas.

Bucks aren't getting stupid and showing themselves much yet.

I am one of those who fit comfortably in the "old" category.

Last weekend, my three adult sons took me to the hill country. I let them do all of the shooting so they would think they are "in charge".
