Went hunting for the first time ever this past week. Didn't shoot anything but had a great time. It's nice to get away from the city! I didn't expect to not have phone data service but it was pretty nice not being able to see all the work emails coming in! Wednesday was a clear day and the ice/sleet started coming down Thursday afternoon. We really didn't see much over the short time we were there (Wednesday-Friday). The other two guys I was with both saw a couple of small does and the only thing I saw were 5 does at a feeder. No bucks were spotted, but we were a little behind the rut. The week prior would have been much better. I almost took one of the does Thursday evening but decided to wait it out for a buck at least until our last day, but we saw nothing on Friday. I had a good time none the less and the truck got to see it's first real snow since I've owned it! I've had it almost two years and it's never been in anything more than a dusting. I'm very impressed with how these Cooper STT's do in the snow and more importantly, ice. Anyways, on to the pics! I also made a new bull friend. I was packing up to head in for the morning and this guy followed me for a quarter mile back to the truck. LOL

Very nice man! Hunting is the best! Great way to get away from all the stresses of everyday life.

It was a great stress relief! I haven't been on a vacation in many years where I was actually able to step away from work 100%. I've always at least had my phone with me answering emails and voice mails.

I'm still kicking myself in the ass for not taking one of them does. There were a couple that were pretty good size. I was a bit too confident that they would be back the next day at the feeder...

I went out opening day here in PA. Just to go sit out in the woods and do nothing lol.. Seen a few worth taking but never ended up with anything.

That's a salty truck brother! lol
