Down to the wire...

It's getting close to the end of the season. Went to the club today...was really disappointed when I got there, though. I tried to get to the Cadillac stand but I couldn't drive up that way. The snow was still too deep for my truck. So I went to the other side of the property, I figured I would walk in from the other way. I got all dressed and started to walk but honestly, it was like sort of skating on ice. There was a thick crust on the snow that would either not break and I was falling all over the place (can't walk up hill on ice) or it would break and I would sink suddenly in the snow. I quickly decided I couldn't make it to the Caddy from there...so I went to the big field. I went to the stand but it didn't look safe...like the legs rusted out. Also the brush had grown up higher and sort of blocked shot lanes anyway. I decided to make the drive to MP instead. I went to the recycling, but I didn't see anything...no tracks, no deer, no nuthin. It was a nice sit anyway.

Last day of Muzzy

Went to the club today. I was going to sit at the field on 10 but when I walked up there I saw no tracks in the snow...I walked to the swamp field and noticed a few tracks leading from the road to the back corner so I decided to set up in the hedgerow in that field. I also happen to notice that someone's riding a snow mobile all around...whatever! I didn't see anything but it was a nice sit none the less.

Break in the weather....

It was such a beautiful day today I just had to hit the woods. I wanted to go up to the club yesterday but it was raining and the temperature was just near freezing. I was actually afraid to drive up to the club and to slide all the way home so I decided to just attend the three basketball games (2 for Gianna and 1 for Dani). Well, today was a different story...it was around 40ish and sunny. Just outstanding. I decided to go up to the tower. It's Superbowl Sunday so I'm sure I'll be alone...WRONG. I was walking to the tree that I was in last time and on my way I saw that someone hung a stand about 50 yards from where I was planning on going. I decided that I would stay there anyway...like I said, it's Superbowl Sunday. Well, I just about got settled in and I saw the other guy walking into the woods. I waved to him and then he and I stared at each other from 63 yards away all night. Didn't see anything but two foxes anyway.
