I used to love to hunt, actually lived for it. Now as I get older, the fun has worn off a bit. My Daughter turns 16 on Sunday. So I took the day off for that. Monday is about the only day the first week that I will be able to go. My son wants to use my Rem 700 LTR in .308. We are going to head out early Monday morning. We would have spent the night out on Sunday. But, it's the Daughters day.
For years I have been wanting to take a deer with my Russian capture K-98. So I will field that. Stan and I share a two man stand. Wish us luck. I have taken the second week off. But, when you cook for a living, you get 'volunteered'. So third year in a row I will cook for a local fund raiser for the local library. Oh boy! Last year was my first vacation in 5 years and I spent the week doing that. This year, the ladies thought that they would be nice to me and have it earlier in the week. So, after getting my butt kicked at work next week. I'll have sunday and Monday to prepare food for 100 people. Oh well. (rant off.)
Two years ago Stan took a decent 4 point in a friends "backyard." Just shy of a 300 yard shot. Dropped that sucker right in his tracks. So, I really hope that he can get another deer. Where we hunt/have land. The .308 is a little over kill as rarely would we get more than a 100 yard shot. Either way, I'll keep you all posted!
