Saturday is opening day of deer season for rifles.
I'm ready.
Supposed to be rainy and windy all day. What's new?
I hunt on my own property.
Instead of going down into the ravine where it is 10 - 15 degrees colder and sitting in every kind of precipitation there is with no wind break or shelter I intend to hunt from my barn loft.
The vantage is good and my shooting lanes extend out to 350 yards in some directions.
By afternoon the deer are panicked and looking for a safe haven. They gather in my horse pastures. Maybe I will get lucky and see a good buck.
At least I will stay dry.
I will have my chair, stacked hay bales for a shooting rest, radio head phones, a wind block and snacks. I will even have my phone to communicate with my scout (aka wife). She can tell me if there is any action in the front of the property.
Nothing like roughing it.
