The drive home from the Midwest was grueling. On the way, I learned that I was extremely sick. I’m not sure if I had ignored it before that point or if that’s when it struck me. When I got home, I could barely function. Unfortunately, I’m at far less than full capacity. 

  I decided to attempt to hunt in the afternoon today. Once I got in the woods, I felt better than I had anticipated feeling. That’s when I made the choice to cover some ground to find a place to sit tomorrow. With the snow on the ground, I wanted to keep walking until I found an area where a doe was in heat. Luckily, I found a place where a doe was spotting.  I didn’t see a deer today, but I did accomplish the mission I set out to accomplish. Sometimes, the work behind the scenes is what everyone misses. This day is surely one of those days. Dad covered a lot of ground today too. We have decided to head to the area I found to see if we can intercept a buck or two chasing the doe around. Hopefully, the doe is still in the near vicinity.
