Well, my girl is doing better. She wants to go to work Monday and wants me in deer camp - some normalcy in her life. I'm kinda half in the hunt - worried I guess, but it's what we we've been doing for the past 26 years. Our opener is always the 15th, my birthday is the 14th and I've never been with her for my birthday since I've known her - that tradition and normalcy in her life is what she wants right now.
The old Winny Model 100 seems like a good choice given the timing of this hunt. So I sent some 165gr 308 Federal Fusions down range today. 1.75". Acceptable. Truck is packed and pointed north.
Good luck to all! I feel like the luckiest guy in the world - hunt or no.
Steve,
I just found your last update on Beth. That is great news! I've been thinking about you guys. Hope you shoot a big one early and go home and wrap your arm around her while you look at it hanging in the garage.
