Well the countdown continues, four
more days. Any other time of the year I probably couldn’t tell you what the
date was without looking at my cell phone. I know today’s date, the tenth of
November, and I can’t wait. It’s gotten cold outside and snow has been
predicted in the near future. We just need the weather conditions to hold out
for a few more days.
I have made myself available the
entire day, I plan to go out for the early morning hunt, come in for a short break
to refuel, then right back out until dark. I’m feeling pretty lucky though, I
think I sense a successful morning; it helps to think positive, and go out with
lots of optimism. I find that it always works while fishing, so why not apply
it to deer hunting.
My brother will also be hunting a
few acres away. As much as I would love to get one, I would be just as happy if
he does. My brother bow hunts and was not successful; it makes it difficult
when he can only get out there now and then. I’m so happy that opening day
falls on a Friday, and that I don’t have a conflict in my schedule. Friday the
fifteenth and black Friday, TGIF has an added meaning this year.
The preparations for the fifteenth
are fun in themselves. Going in the sporting goods stores and seeing all the
new stuff, and purchasing some new goodies for myself. I love that they now
have a line of camouflage clothing just for women, and women’s accessories,
hats, gloves, even long underwear. It’s kind of like going on vacation, or off
to school, you need a check list. Even when I’ve checked off everything on my
list, I find myself looking just to see if there is some new cool thing out
there. To me the most important thing is
to stay warm, after a while of sitting there not moving, it tends to get cold. Hum,
I think I will look into buying a heater for my blind tomorrow. I wonder if I will
feel guilty knowing my brother will be over there freezing. He’s pretty much laid
all the ground work for the season while bow hunting. I guess that’s one of the
benefits of having a big brother.
I
want to wish everyone a safe and successful hunt. Good luck, stay warm, and have fun.
