:mrgreen: Its not like my Fiancee didn't know about my passion for hunting and all things outdoors, but maybe I neglected to mention that early November would be a difficult time to interrupt the annual Mule Deer Hunt in future years. Nov. 08, 1969. Yeah, forty years, still married to the same wonderful lady and still chasing those Mule Deer.
Oct 31, 2009. Warren, #2 son, aka Sherpa Packer/ Energizer Bunny and I head out into the hills. The weather is really crappy, snowing, raining, foggy, just perfect. We set up the 12'x14'x5' wall tent on pallets and scrap sheets of plywood, hook up the Woodsman Wood Stove, set up the table, cots, drying rack, extinguish the lantern and proceed to toss and turn all night. But wait, how come it is so bright? Is the lantern still on, or have the skies cleared to reveal Full Moon? Hmmm.
Up at 6:00 A.M. to clear skies, full moon , -4*C...very noisy. Hmmm.
