Well, I'm at 20 weeks and I'm about to head out for my first hunting trip this weekend. We'll be in eastern Oregon, high desert, and hiking for ~3 hours on both Saturday and Sunday. This is constant walking on somewhat unlevel terrain, some small hills as well. The weather should be good (50-60s, partly cloudy). I've been preparing for this trip for some time and I'm excited to see how long I can last! Mostly I want to be sure I don't trip and fall! This is our annual Mothers' Day hunt and this year BOTH my sons are going with my husband and me. My daughter stays home and makes sure I come home to a spotless house!

I'll check in with folks when we get back Sunday night or Monday morning. If you think of me, send up a prayer for strong legs, stamina, balance, and endurance, and, of course, safe travels to and from.

Happy Mothers' Day to all of the Moms on this forum. May your day be blessed with love and honor as you all deserve.

Blessings,
Skeet
 
Well girl, this is what you've been waiting for.
Keep your powder dry and watch your front site.
 
Prayer sent. Have fun and aim straight. Happy mom day!
 
Skeet, I'm so happy you'll be making this giant step forward.....well, MANY steps, actually! I hope the weather cooperates for you and that you come home with some great stories to tell us!
 
At last Skeet, the day has arrived eh? Well have a really great time. Will you carry a ski pole type walking stick with you in case? I will be thinking of you. Take the greatest of care and enjoy!!!

Happy Mothers Day to one and all!!
 
Why am I visualizing Elmer Fudd walking around with his gun and wearing his funny little hunter's hat?
 
I would love to take a walking stick, but I will be carrying my rifle and have to be ready to shoot anytime we see game, so that isn't possible. My husband did purchase a little portable three legged stool that he will carry for me in case I need to sit down a rest for a few minutes. I'm not all that big on sitting much as there are lots of rattlers and other snakes over there and I don't want to provide my bottom as a target!

And I don't look much like Elmer Fudd... you are dating yourself there.... but I do wear a cute little camo hat or my NRA hat and I wear camo with special pants designed to walk in sage brush and such without picking up all the burrs, etc. It isn't the most feminine attire!

I am so excited!
 
That's Ok, the visual of your bottom on the 3 legged stool from the rattler's view is much, much better! LOL

Hey Skeet, do you wear snake boots?
 
We use gators... they strap onto your calves, cover the top of the shoe. Haven't had any issues so far. Mostly I see the bull snakes. I do try to walk loudly to scare them away.
 
Yes, I thought that might make a visual... you probably missed all the earlier concerns I had about squatting in the field to relieve myself. Still not sure how that is going to work. Hard enough to squat down and get back up... let alone have your drawers down and ... well, you get the picture. I'm sure my report on Sunday/Monday will include some interesting stories.
 
Free one leg from.... and straddle? And pray for no Bears. tough to run. Maybe you should quick order one of those woman side of the road like a man contraptions Josephine showed a picture of. Let me see if I can find it.
 
Well, the pix won't copy but it is thread "Traveling potty seat" on the hip side, post # 3.

Perhaps you should consider something like one of these, Judy



Whizaway
 
Not sure who Judy is, but I have considered the Whizaway. Didn't have time to get it for this go around.

Thanks!
 
Okay, I'll make sure we have pictures. We are planning to take the video camera, so maybe you'll get a whole movie!
 
The heck with going to see "Iron Man" this weekend.
I'm waitin on Skeet's video!! Yep, a woman in camo....just sayin'
 
No pressure or anything. I'll do my best to entertain!
 
You just worry about having a good time girl. You have earned it ...
