My Saturday adventure

My past Saturday started out with having to do engagement pictures in the outdoors. I was forced at my own will to do that for a couple of hours. After the pictures were done I decided that I was going to take the rest of the afternoon to get out and try some late fall fishing, or so I thought.. Since my big boat was getting winterized so it could get put away for the winter I decided I was going to take out my duck boat and try that out. Boy was I in for a surprise. I figured that my little 35 lb thrust trolling motor I have would take me right out on the lake and over to the weeds for some fall fishing excitement. I went and loaded up my gear and picked up some leeches from the local bait shop and headed out to the lake. I put the boat in and loaded up my gear eventhough the lake was pretty rough. After parking my truck I hopped in my boat and pushed myself off trying to get into deep enough water to use my trolling motor to get going, boy was that a struggle. I tried and tried for like 15 minutes battling the wind trying to get out onto the lake, but the wind would not let me. So after struggling I decided to forget it for the day and try my luck at grouse hunting instead. After loading up my gear in my truck I headed to our new storage shed and put my boat and gear away and headed out to some public hunting land to try for some grouse where I had some luck a few days earlier. After parking my truck I loaded up my shotgun and put on my blaze orange and headed down the trail in search of a grouse or two. I walked down a few a trails and seen one grouse and got 3 shots off but missing on all of them because I think the grouse was a little bit out of range, but at least I got to fire my gun. So I continued going down trails that I had been on before and discovered new ones as well. But after about and hour and half I decided maybe it wasn't my day and headed back to my truck. I kept thinking to myself that maybe I should have stayed home and studied but I needed a break from school and work. After my luck on this saturday I wish that I would have stayed home and studied.
