We leave in four days for our fourth deer season. Had a great early archery season. Didn't bring home a deer but learned a ton.
Western South Dakota rifle tags. My wife and I both have archery tags as well. Hotel for this trip as I am in the final weeks of nursing school and she is an educator. We need access to Internet and space to do our work and are bringing a geriatric dog with us.
Two exams and a presentation on the Democratic Republic of the Congo and we are gone. My wife is doing most of the prep work this time. Gonna attach the Yakima and test fit tire chains this afternoon. Forecast keeps changing for the worst but on a rut hunt with a new moon I'm not complaining.
Pretty confident this time. We hunted the same unit last year with whitetail tags and found some mule deer. Fingers crossed we see them again. Every season our equipment and skills improve, and I'm really hopeful we both kill nice bucks with a minimum of suffering. It's been a road getting to this point. We started hunting big game together without a mentor other than the internet and conversations with friends. Been a struggle at times but worth every cactus thorn and chilly morning.
