The Grand Hunting Adventure Story - Part 2

Wow, I can't believe it's already 2009...

Anyways, yes, it's finally here! The Grand Hunting Adventure Story - Part 2! Hope you enjoy. I think there will only be one or two more parts after this one.

Okay, after that we had around an hour in the stand before sun rise, so we sat
in our respective stands just waiting for the light. Then it came! And with it
came...the rain. Yeah, rain...So, not knowing what the rain would do, I just
sorta sat there and tried to keep a little bit dry. After about a half hour of
continuously worse rain Phil came out and called up to me to go ahead and get
down because the deer wouldn’t be moving in the rain anyways. We were
soaked...so we called the others saying we were out and we then went and met at
the church.

After our rendezvous at the
church we decided that we should go take a look where we had hit that buck
earlier and see if we could find a blood trail or something. So we went to the
collision location and found...nothing. The rain had washed all the blood away.
We went to the spot where we thought it ran, but thought it best to turn back
because it was on someone else’s hunting land and we didn’t want to interrupt
their hunt.

So, next thing: Dad, Phil, and
I then headed back to the property where Phil and I had been earlier and
searched around the property looking for somewhere to put a new stand. We went
back by the swamp area and decided to set up a new stand there. Well, the
building began. We went back out to the truck, got the parts out of the box and
did what we could to keep them out of the mud. It’s kinda tough building a deer
stand in the woods with nowhere to set the tools and the parts, and the
directions seemed like they were translated into English by someone who didn’t
even know English. Yeah, they were that bad. So, we finally finished building
the stand and then took it back to the place we had designated and set it up. It
was tough putting it together, but we had a lot of fun, and there were a lot of
funny jokes going around while we did it, so we had a good time.


Yours Cheesey,

P.S. I know I said that Thanksgiving was next, but then I realized that I have no pictures from Thanksgiving or our annual Turkey Bowl football game, so I decided not to do a post...
