Been slaying a few ducks, still pretty early in the season, so mostly local birds around, and they get smart real quick! My deer hunting was a bust this year, huge fire last summer (Dixie Fire), got within 400 yards of my mountain property, would of taken out three houses. In a couple years the deer hunting should be real good as the new tender growth fills in. Could of gotten a bear no problem, but they are a lot of work to process, and the meat must be cooked well done, which I'm not a fan of. Today I tied up a bunch of decoys (I need more decoys like I need a hole in my head), then off to the doctors for a physical, I usually dread them, but this year I lost 100 lbs., (on purpose) 40 more to go, my diabetes is gone, my blood pressure is excellent, heart and lungs are good, in fact my Dr. told me he wished his blood panels looked as good as mine. But to tell you the truth, I'd kill for an apple fritter or a bowl of ice cream!
