Ok...a week from this Saturday morning, November 13th, I'll be in Atchison County near the town of Rock Port, the most northwestern county in Missouri, with two other deer hunters walking off in the dark about 6:15 a.m. or earlier toward our previously installed deer stands located in the thick trees of the hilly bluffs about a mile east of the muddy Missouri River. We'll be carrying rifles, myself a Rem 700 30-06 with Leupold 3x9x40 scope, another person with a .270 rifle, and another with a 30-06, too. Don't know what makes they are or about their scopes.
Here's some of the stuff we'll be carrying in about 1/2 mile from our deer camp, which is an old barn fixed up with propane fueled heater, pot belly stove, old chairs, an old refrigerator, cooler...equipped with beer to be used only after the day's hunt is completed. We'll have our rifles slung over our shoulders, and backpacks loaded with binoculars, 2-way radio's, knives, ropes to raise/lower our rifles to the deer stands, extra ammo, flashlights, power candy bars...all loaded with "too much stuff" that we individually think is necessary to carry in, and entirely too many other things.
I'm anxiously counting down the days till next Saturday morning.
