Everything looking good for the Nov 12th gun season, had a couple gldecent spots where I'm confident I should get one with a rifle!
Then the first week of Nov, the pretty dry cool air turned into cold, rainy, dreary. It put me in my seat. I've said it few times about my breathing problems, but it's got worse. I have black lung, copd, emphysema, but the worst is Alpha 1. I don't want drag it on but I'd say Doc would know, I have other chronic symptoms associated with it. In a nutshell my breathing-airways change as the clouds change in the sky. But when the weather does that, I'm so bad I can't hardly eat cause I have to breath thru my mouth.
I got so down and depressed I never stepped foot into the woods with a rifle. Not crying or complaining just being honest.
Here it warmed and dried occasionally in mid to late Dec so with the gun season already over I went couple times with my bow. Saw a dandy 8pt with a 4pt one them days but they were 50yds out. After that I just quit, and you get down and consider quitting hunting altogether.
But I ain't no quitter, ill get back up this year hopefully better circumstances!!!
But I get on here occasionally, and in last few days there's some great topics as usual! Sure interesting to see how Bill does with the 73! And the Mod 71 & 86 pics got me pumped, but I've come to terms with my Tikka 30-06 and it'll do anything from ground squirrels to Brown Bear, man that is one versatile cartridge I love that rifle!
But I got out yesterday, it's warmed and dried up I feel like a new man.
So I took this Mod 94 I got yesterday and shot it with 4 loads. I can honestly say I never thought a Carbine would steal Mt heart from my Mod 64 but it's about passed it. It's a jewel, shoots everything I put in it with good accuracy, and no other rifle is as pleasing to be with I have to say! Gotta shift the sight just little bit, and in my frustration I may just do my bowhunting with a Winchester
