I hope all goes well for your family. Keep us posted. Hopefully it's all positive from here on out.

I was out thursday after work and it was disappointing to say the least. I hunted a stand that I have never sat in before. It is located about 40 yards of a creek. On the other side of the creek there is a sliver of land that the state leases from us. It is less the 4 acres. Anyways because it is leased by the state it is public. So I get up im my stand and it isn't 20mins later I hear a dog and two guys walking through this little piece of property. They have every right to be there but i was a little disappointed. There are no trees in there at all so I can only assume they are hunting some of the pheasants I stocked on our prop that have ventured across the creek. Any way I get down with plenty of light left and head toa differnt stand. 20 min before legal shooting is done I had a nice buck come along side the stand I was sitting in and follow a drag line I had left earlier that went to the other stand. Went in there this morning and there was a scrape with in 30 yards of the stand by the creek. Can't win for losing. The good news is I only work 4 or 5 days in the month of november because I am on deercation. thats what my wife calls it
