Final preparations are being made, the details are coming together and I am ready to go. The hunting crew leaves tomorrow for Wisconsin.

The weather report keeps getting colder by the day. Last week the extended forecast called for highs in the 40s, and lows in the 30s. Today you can knock off 10 degrees for both the high and the low temperatures. This should make for great hunting and hopefully the big boys will start looking for those does. The prediction of snow changes every day. Yes one day, no the next. We'll see.

The light cardio workouts continue. I'll be back in the gym as soon as my trip is in the books. 

I recently tested my hunting clothes to ensure that they are not reflecting UV light. I had never thought about that until Ken Piper mentioned it to me the other day. He gave me a black light to use. The test revealed that my clothes are not reflecting UV light. I still plan to use a wash that will kill all UV reflection.

I want to leave nothing to chance on this hunt. I'd really hate to see a buck turn tail and take off. With these precautions, that should not happen.

I intend on posting blog entries to my personal MySpace page if I have access to the Internet. Look for photos and maybe some video when I make it back to work Nov. 12. 

Stay safe and keep moving!!!
