Try hiking a mountain with a backpack, three layers, a rifle and a big belly.....fun times;) Actually, we have had a great time getting some hunting days in the last week or so. I've had to wear Jeff's camo pants because none of my fit, but once I got used to them they work just fine! We ended up hiking up a mountain which was fun, but very slow because of my heart rate. I would take about 10 steps and then take a break and luckily Jeff started carrying some of my stuff. The downhill trip was much better!
We had the pleasure of watching a yearling doe for quite some time in the pines. She got really close and did not even run off when we finally got up to leave our spot. I was even able to get into the tree stand with my firefighter husband's assistance to make sure there was not a chance of falling. Here is to better luck actually seeing a big buck before the season is over!
