Sitting suspended between the earth and treetops on top of the lovely blue mountain! My Hoyt patiently lies in front of me ever ready to be employed in another harvest! The mountain is beautiful tonight with the leaves changing colors and the breeze softly whispering through the trees. It’s good to be free, healthy, and alive! God is good!

All the typing about deer season I thought it would be appropriate to get a little venison going today for lunch. Besides bouncing call to call it turned out to be a purdy darn good lunch! Start date to the season feels like it stopped in its tracks.

Hope to dye and wax traps before the weekend still shagging firewood I hauled a couple loads today and hope to move a few more tomorrow. More rain coming looks like a late Oct or early Nov start for me.

Finished dying some traps and dyed a few buckets of snares today will finish up some odds and ends a should be good to go then. Put new tires on the truck yesterday them factory ones are junk and I live on gravel so that chews them up quickly. Put a old carpet in the fur shed better then working on concrete all winter I can just roll it up and toss it next spring.

About to get ready for the morning hunt and like clockwork it's raining. Didn't put my tree umbrella up yet either. If you're heading to the woods at some point today for a hunt...good luck.

Just poured my second cup of morning brew. Getting ready to lace up the boots and head to the dungeon aka (work)as I like to call it. Landed a new farm account to remove rats and raccoon. Heading up there Saturday to finalize paperwork.

Hopefully it stops long enough for you to get 1. Not a chance!! It rained buckets and then add the lightning...what a SS!. Crazy but I still managed to have fun and get another stand up and made a few adjustments to the original stand. Made the best of it

Beaver and rats opened yesterday. Got out some sets. Picked up a large boar raccoon and a possum from my bee hive sets today. Both look pretty good will spend the time this afternoon to skin and flesh.

Bottled up my new Predator Bait Solution (Quick Shot) that I have been working on for a while. I've seen what I needed to see with animal interactions with it, now it's time to run it with steel. Sending to testers this week. Hoping it produces the interest that it has for me. I will be updating my website shortly with a bait&lure combo offer. Be safe out there...tight chains.

Hunters or "someone" has found my cam where I've been testing bait. Probably due to the digging from fox and coyotes or dumb luck. Good thing I cabled the cam to a tree but the post it was on got 86'd. Missing a hinge clip to keep the door closed due to tampering. Favorite time of year!! !!!UGH!!! ;(
