Sojourning Pilgrim

5 a.m.

Up at 5 a.m. Coffee, then more coffee.

Out the door at 5:50. Back indoor to get the truck keys. Out the driveway at 5:55.

On the property at 6:40. Dress, make my way to the stand, sitting still by 7:00.

7:28 - small, spike buck under the feeder. He's wary - keeps looking up at the feeder like it's spooked him before.

7:41 - feeder goes off, scattering corn and deer.

8:38 - down from the tree. Another successful hunt - no harvest, but the soul is better.

9:30 - home.

1:15 p.m. - One nap later, and I'm rarin' to go.
