I got call yesterday from the food store that they can't source fresh organic turkey this year for Xmas.
We bought these organic turkeys from this one company and we found-like the store owner they injected way too much water into the birds
So the search is on again, and I made up my mind I'll just raise my own next year-so there!

Had a productive afternoon, the Mrs returned from doing the due in the city-brought me a chicken curry mango sandwich-so that gave me the boost for the rest of the pm.
I finally pulled all the old dock rubble up the lake as the ATV just spun out so it was backing down the slope with the Tundra + 35ft of tow strap x4 trips and I got it done.
Won't have to mow the grass next year on that slope after what I did today.

Tomorrow it's back to the fencing in the berry patch after the early morning chores. It looks like it's going to be a beautiful day out.

It's one of my guilty pleasures, and a scone for the early
We get them from this great bakery/deli/pastry/license to print money places.

I did it!

I did NOT feel like going out hunting today. I haven't been seeing any deer, and not to mention that we have a 300+ lb. bear roaming the woods now. So yeah, I didn't feel like walking all the way to the back of my property to see nothing and get mauled by a bear. But I went anyway, and I brought pencils and a sketch pad. Talk about good attitude! I sat in the stand for about an hour, sketching out soldiers, and then I heard footsteps to my right. I saw a deer moving through the brush, and believing it was a doe, put the pad on my lap, put the pencil in my mouth, and looked through the scope to see what it was. All I saw were antlers. As I was looking through the scope, I hear CLING! CLANG! DING DING! My sketch pad fell onto the metal stand! The deer didn't even look. I went into panic mode, fumbling with the safety (this is my first year ever rifle hunting) and trying to find him in the scope. He went behind a tree, and when he came back out, I shot. I was so focused on loading another round, that when I looked up, the deer scared the living daylights outta me by running straight towards me! I spit the pencil out, and tried aiming again, but he flew past me and I heard him crash later on.

At first, we couldn't find any blood. Zero. Hell, I didn't remember where the deer was standing. It happened so fast, I didn't even record any detail in my memory. How could I have missed? Finally, by random chance, my mama found one splotch of blood. One. Uno. Ein. We looked forever, but eventually we found him really close to the stand, crumpled up. He made a circle and we didn't know it. It's a beautiful nine pointer, and definitely mountable. I was shocked. I didn't even know what I hit. I thanked God profusely, and helped my dad drag it back. It weighs 200 lbs. field dressed.

Thank you God!

Congrats Rusty!

Now...You could have just quit pursuing an interest, instead of trying again....

Good going Rusty! I've gone out with my grandpa and dad plenty of times but never shot one myself. Mostly just because I don't want to gut it... let's just say I have a sensitive nose and weak stomach haha.

Congrats Rusty on getting your first Buck, well done.
You've had some big firsts this year, certainly a memorable one for you.

Question for the pirates: Does the full moon effect you in any way?

For our small family household I'd say yes. The sleep is light, the dog is easily triggered it seems.
