Day 5 was a mellow day of football and more Texas Hold'em. And we ran out of beer and scotch. That is if you count not drinking the Keystone Lights in the garage fridge.
It was a more somber day knowing that all the great company and friendships would part ways yet again for different parts of the country. Yet we laughed and reminiced about the great times we all had together. This was the earliest evening as we finally got to bed at 1:30am.
Pictures to come!
Gunnar decided to skip his train ride as he was supposed to board on Sunday evening. He is still here with Mike and me. Gunnar and I drove the the other fellas into Minot this moring so they could board the planes to their homes. Gunnar and Mike will leave for the 8 hour drive back to the twin cities while I stay alone at the cabin for one more day.
This morning I spotted my big buck and I think I have his exact route plotted. However he changes by a few hundred yards daily and a bow shot needs to be within 60 yards. Bobgun snapped some photos at first light of me watching deer from the deck. Hence I will do some work emails, upload herf pics, clean up the cabin, and plan my morning bowhunting excursion.
It will be a bittersweet time here the next 24 hours as the cabin will feel somewhat cold and lonely with all my great friends gone. Gunnar just said that this will be a tough time to leave also. He too feels the sense of sadness now that PO, Jimmie, and Bobgun are gone. But life goes on and we all get together on Stogie Chat.
While we are packing up to head out, Tank sees a big whte tail buck and several doe moving around 600 or more yards out there. Oh yeah, its about 25 degrees out.
Freakin' ray of sunshine, ain't I.
