Heading out to hunt some yote's this afternoon. I'll be using a Rem 700 SPS Tac in 223. I have a Bushnell elite 5-15X mildot scope on it, and I'll be using Hornady V-Max ammo. It's been a rough few days with my family. My mother in law is very sick. She has a bad case of pneumonia and COPD. I was woken up by my wife Friday morning and I had 40 mins to get her packed up and out to Pearson airport so she could fly out to Chilliwack BC. Her parents have been there since November, at her sisters place. Friday afternoon I drove to Quebec with my brother in law to get her medical files and will. The doctors in Chilliwack were asking about end of life decisions. That freaked out everyone. They want to put her to sleep and intubate her. As of now she is wearing a pressurized O2 mask. Her O2 levels in her blood were 56, she had blue hands and lips when EMS got her. My brother in law left for Chilliwack this morning with the paperwork. The doctors say she has a 50-50 chance of getting through this. I went to church for the first time in almost 30 years this morning. The priest was nice, and recommended that I go out and do something to take my mind off things. So hunting it is. My wife will be calling me with a update later on today. I know most of this is not a hunting topic per se, but I feel a little better getting it off my chest. I'm basically on stand-by to fly out, along with one of the grand kids - she is doing her final nursing placement for school.
It's a nice, cold, clear day. So maybe the yote's will want to play. And as my old man would say, I can get my balance back.
