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.

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.

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.

Im switching gears and taking my 14 year old squirrel hunting in the morning.

Love hunting small game, post some pics!

That's an old squirrel! And I didn't know they could hunt!

Forgot to get a picture in the field.

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".

Win. Win.
