Today wasn’t too bad in the woods. It was overcast most of the day and about 30 degrees.  I’m still sicker than a dog. I’m still taking medicine, but it doesn’t seem to be doing much. I probably just need hunting season to end so I can let my body recover. I can’t stop myself from having coughing fits in the woods, and some of them last for up to 10 minutes. These are definitely not helping my chances at seeing a good buck……..or any buck.

  My body wasn’t well enough to get to where I wanted to hunt this morning. I had to stop early and hunt another area. It’s tough when you have a plan and can’t make good on it. In the end, it wasn’t too bad. I saw a doe at 7:45 and a group of three adult does at 1:05. Unfortunately nothing followed. Dad didn’t see anything today. 

  Rain greeted us in the afternoon, and by the time we got out of the woods, we were drenched. They’re calling for 1-3 inches of snow by day’s end tomorrow. There is still some snow scattered throughout the Adirondacks. Some places are void of it, while other places still have a few inches.  Tomorrow will be the annual Thanksgiving Day hunt. It’s not what it used to be, but I still enjoy the tradition. We have killed our fair share of deer (and big deer) on Thanksgiving morning.  I’m not feeling it for tomorrow due to the weather, but a man never knows. My friend Donny will be hunting with us, too. We are going to spend the next few days together. He’s going through a divorce and just needed to get away from home. I’m glad to have him. He always makes me laugh, and he’s like a long-lost brother to me.
