Dave,

Great to read your post. I truly appreciate your position at work. I’m self-employed but ready to lay myself off if I don’t get things rolling! My season is also limited. Between work and spending time with my family, getting kids ready for school and all, which is a great pleasure for me, my time in the woods is not a lot. But whatever minutes and hours I get, I really enjoy. Had one spike buck close enough for a shot, but they’re not legal. It was still exciting to play it out and be only 20 feet away from him. I have tomorrow and the early season ends. I expect to hunt with my bow during the rifle season, too, as I did last year. I have one deer in the freezer, a combined gift of the giving universe and the Chrysler corporation.

Stay on track and the woods will continue to provide adventure!

All the best to you, david
