Been a rough year for me as well. Missed two birds so far. Been sick and ain't been able to get out as much. Feel like crap tonight. But the fact is, I can't kill a bird from here.....so I dadgum better be out there! I can be sick in bed, or sick in the woods. Sick is sick and it don't matter where. Keep after em man. It's kinda like the words on a box of hevi shot "I didn't come this far to miss" except I read em as "I didn't come this far to quit". Don't quit, kill.
