Soggy hunt




Merrick and I made a trip across the state against the forecast of nasty rain to try our hand at the deer hunt.  We spent the first night with Grandprize and the Bryan clan playing mad libs and laughing until late in the night.  Awaking to the down pours of torential rain we delayed our start be eventually made our way to the woods, stopping for new rubber boots along the way.  We did have a blind to set up and that helped keep us dry and made the late morning and early afternoon tolerable.  We snacked and ate lunch.  I think we even both dozed off for awhile. We eventually allowed the boredom to win and figured we should head back to the vehicles and see if anyone else was in the woods yet.  Ollie and Grandprize had done some nice tarp hanging in preperation for an overnight camp and Brad and Jake had been there for about a half hour but it was ultimately decided to shoot the .357 a bit and then just call it quites.  Grandprize headed off to find grandma but the rest of us headed south to a little tavern for some burgers and pool before making the drive back across the state.
