Hunting Recap

Geez. Looks like it has been awhile since I posted? Well...deer season ended about 3 hours ago. I spent as many daylight hours as possible in the woods and took my annual vacation from teaching to do so. Ronnie and I had a blast. We did not shoot the elusive big buck. In fact we only shot one deer the whole time. But we were in the woods... mostly in solitude reflecting on life. And we were together spending time at nights and lots of driving to and from hunting camp. I would not trade one minute of it. Ronnie had knee surgery just five days before opener, yet still saw to it to spend all this time with his old man. His bag for the year was 5. He got two in the early season, two with his bow, and one during rifle season. For a lifetime score his has now pulled to within 3 of me. I lead 18-15. A lead that I am sure will soon be relinquished.
