as I used to be I reckon. Let me start out by saying my wife is adamant that I not use our family rig to go hunting. But we had snow and now its a light rain/ice mix and the Explorer is a 4x4 while my old Jeep Comanche is not. So what did I do this morning? I loaded up the Explorer with my gear and headed out(snuck out). About halfway to my hunting area I turned around and headed to the closer state public land. I met two guys who had driven since 3am to get there. After small talk they went one way and I another with my stand/sticks on my back. After only an hour I headed back home. Hunting public land I haven't been on for years and with visions of my wife's probable anger when I returned prompted me to return early. Damn conscience!

By the way, so far so good. She is still asleep and none the wiser.
