Tuesday, November 23

Hello everyone, another busy few weeks have gone by again. Though many attempts have been made to the hunting all have been met with failure. I finally got a site system worked out on the cross bow, I've put a pistol scope on the bow, and with its long eye relief I am able to use it in the gun mount if it is attached to my chair. Bad weather prevented me from hunting up until about a week and a half ago when some medical issues started occurring. The first was a really bad UTI that took two weeks in two different antibiotics to get rid of, only now it has cleared up. Last Saturday morning I woke up and could not catch my breath, we ended up calling 911 and going to the emergency room. Turns out I had a small patch of pneumonia in my right lung. They admitted me to the hospital for an overnight observation and so they could give me IV antibiotics. I feel great now and am on an oral antibiotic to make sure the pneumonia has cleared up. I'm going to give it a few days rest and then attempt to hunt after Thanksgiving, the dream is still alive.
Things around the house have been relatively normal. The finish my furnace installation, and now I'm not cold all the time. My dog Shilah has gotten big, she now weighs about 25 pounds. She's learning her name but not very quickly, she knows right from wrong but still tries to get away with anything she can to. You've got to love puppies.
The whole family is coming in this Thanksgiving. It will be nice to see them all at one time.

Monday, November 8



Well the past few weeks my father and I have been faced with the daunting task of getting me back in the woods for this year's Whitetail rut. Today I was able to spend some time in the woods for the first time in almost a year. Even though I was not hunting, we were making a trial run with all equipment for me to hunt. Even though some alterations are needed the trip turned out to be a success. I'm in one piece and still alive. Included is a photo of me and my hunting rig and my father's chair.
