Split up today. I took the Mrs. just over 3000vert and 6.5mi. My oldest took his younger brother up a steeper, cliffy ridge with a before daylight stream ford. We saw a handful of bucks and my wife passed on a muley my youngest would have shot in a second. With the bulls and bucks we already have, she said she’d only shoot something real nice. She held strong to her statement. We’ll look for his sheds in March and next year he’ll definitely be a shooter.
Tomorrow is the last day of the season and the weather is supposed to be the shits. It’s been a good season.
6 miles (1200') with Tiny Elvis; I don't know if the US Army has put numbers to it- but can tell you that the caloric expenditure hiking in snow is MUCH higher than with no snow
Good lift and end of the season chores. Schedule is going to suck the next few weeks. PT will be whatever I can fit in. My ribs aren’t as tender, so I tried a few moves today I’ve been staying away from.

Always a little depressing when the sun goes down on the last day even if you’re tagged out… Another off season
Got a couple miles in the is afternoon chasing Mr Blacktail. Ended up filing my late archery tag on a little 3 x 3 and packed it out about a mile back to the truck.
For those of you following along or concerned: The war is over and the pecan pie is no more. I'll be honest, when I hit the front lines of battle on Thursday, I had my concerns. I had fought this foe numerous times and it's never been easy. I am proud to say that this time I came away the victor. It is true that the signs of battle are present, my pants and the scale both show signs of the war-torn wreckage that is so often left behind after things like this. But we will rebuild.
The good news is that after having witnessed the defeat of such a mighty force the cheesecake, who nearly joined forces with the pecan pie when I was at my lowest, has retreated to the freezer to live another day. I know that the day will come when I will have to step up again and fight but for now we rejoice and celebrate over what has been accomplished.
I appreciate your support in this trying time and wish you all peace and healthy eating for the days ahead.
