For some reason this date sticks in my head from seven years ago. I was hunting on a mountain close to my home. It was a beautiful fall day. The leaves were splashed with red, orange and yellow. It wasn’t too terribly warm, but it also wasn’t very chilly. Early muzzleloader season was open. It was the one of the last times I hunted that year with any amount of internal peace. My world was suddenly turned upside down a few weeks later and the next few years I experienced the gamut of highs and lows.
Looking back on that time it’s probably the best thing that could have happened to me. My life has turned into something I had always dreamed of and I’m doing things now that I never imagined. I’m hoping it continues to get better as time moves forward.
I went out for an hour and a half tonight. I received a trail camera from Bushnell in the mail today, so I spent some time setting it up. I got it from the factory to test it out and report on it. I’m looking forward to see how it works. It has the capability of taking a picture and instantly start recording video. I really like this type of camera because it presents a little more information than a standard picture. Since I have a number of Cuddeback cameras that do this I’m interested to see how this camera compares to them.
I didn’t see any deer this evening, but I did set the camera up in a place where I expect to get a few pictures of the course of the weekend. I’ll probably hunt the same place in the morning as I did tonight. I’m worn out and extremely tired. I need some good sleep sometime soon. The trials and tribulations with this new insulin pump are driving me crazy. Unfortunately my numbers have gotten worse and not improved at all. After three months it has the doctors stumped. There are no patterns to follow and random numbers keep showing up for absolutely no reason. I’m very disappointed. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. I have a lot of things to do throughout the day, so hunting won’t be a priority even though I’ll hunt for a few hours in the morning.
