Well, buckless again this season. Went out yesterday morning and had 4 does at 20yds and could not for the life of me get a shot.[:@]

Went back this morning and sat in the ground blind near the same spot. No luck, they did not show.

I had a really hard time deciding what to do for this last evening. A year ago today, my evening hunt was interrupted by a call from my wife telling me to come home. I could tell in her voice it was something wrong. I raced home to find that my 19 yr old niece had died. I am still living with that memory every time I go on an evening hunt. So, instead of going and sitting in the stand till dark this evening, I went to another niece's birthday party. I left about an hour before sundown. When I got home, I just sat there in my truck with the windows down listening to nature going to sleep. I sat in my truck until sundown remembering that life is not always about me and my desires.

I'll miss you Brooke.
