I thought a post of views from the stand would be nice. Most are now trimming lanes and checking stands so it's a good time to take some pics to let us see what you do. I rarely take pics while hunting ...I try not moving much ...though in the blinds it's easier. So before or during hunting take a pic or two and take us on stand with you,as it were. I'll start with and old pic.

They will keep trying but overlook Hillary's faults .

Last year with my boy...probably worst day we had during bow season weather wise Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

3D league is on Tuesday evenings. Hunting setups. Yardages vary out past 50 yards at times. No range finders allowed. This was first arrow today/this evening. 30 yards I figure. This was first arrow for second group of targets up the hill. Figured the ram to be somewhere between 35 and 40 but closer to 35 (two of my pins evenly split) than 40. Making up a week so moving to a different stake at times but shooting two arrows at each target. Exactly four arrows in....

Here is some of my inlaws neighbors backyard deer from a few years ago.

Showed back up again, this year with even more mass than before it seems, as well as some "junk".. i have history with this deer back to 2013, that I'm aware of. This fall he is 6.5yr or older. in 2013 he is at least a 3.5yr old.. Still have a few cards to pull. hopefully the other 2 old guys are on them..

Figured I would start before it got to humid. Was here at 530 and Bones has been running one for an hour now. No dew this morning.

I accidentally said today because i started to start this post yesterday and got side tracked. Oops

Grampy was so generous in sending my son, who is addicted to bass fishing, a HUGE assortment of his best bass lures/rigs. It was a complete surprise for my son and he was almost speechless. What a great gift from a great guy/fisherman. I hear my son now commenting on all the great tackle. Thanks so much Dave. I have never seen my son more excited. I know you will be blessed in kind. You were way too generous! He is planning to go out and put that tackle to use tonight It's so great to see a man like Grampy with such a big heart share his passion with my son. And tips from a pro like you is over the top. You made a big impression on Joel (and me)!

These 3 views are from one of my blinds.

The Black one is legal.

. A stand at the old place.... Won't have any pics of the new place till after closing.... This was on the edge of a swamp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Guys these are mule deer. The bottom 3 aren't old at all, not even shooters Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Prayers sent and hope for a speedy recovery.

Great rifle stand in the southern tier. Deer usually make there way up this side of the hill in the early morning hours working their way back to bedding....took a few deer from this stand the last couple years and was lucky enough to double on a buck and doe opening morning 2015. Made a 115-120 yard shot on the buck directly down this view from and elevated platform I rebuilt named Stair Way to Heaven by the camp owner. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I had to buy a back up charger pack because my phone dies in the stand because I play on it to much Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I probably shouldn't have mentioned that spot of state land. Never thought about the number of people who would read it and flood it out with pressure. As for no arguing, don't jinx it people! LOL. I can't express my appreciation for the help and kindness of people on this thread and many of the people on this site. I have learned a few things by being a member here.

Ok couldn't wait. Andromeda IPA from Galaxy brewing in Binghamton, NY

Damn straight it is. Found a couple more good ones on my walk down the street tonight to my source

Thanks I just came in from discing that entire lane way...now I am going down to finish opening the parallel shooting lane in the top picture in the woods. They walk through and stop...because I put low brush piles the entire length...that hesitation before jumping into plot is just enough time for a good shot...I also need to open up the trees to a few oaks on the edge of that and so more sun gets to it. I then will (from top pic) plant turnips to about end of where that ladder is,130yrds. From there to (second picture) I will plant 150 yrds of Wht Institutes chicory plus...from there to the corn out front will be WW and turnips. I do need to run...after last year I know I need to open up the woods behind that blind...It's where I shot an 8pt in gun and I got lucky in that he did run through the only opening I had in the woods...It's a bit tight in there as you can see in the picture... TF that reminds me of the upper woods at camp...nice spot...

As an update, Joel caught 3 large mouth last night with Grampy's whacky rigs. Most he has caught in a night!

Thanks everyone, but I really don't deserve any fuss. Joel called me last night! What an awesome young man, (must take after his dad). You see, in the past I have been on the receiving end, of acts of kindness and generosity from members on this forum,(you guy's know who you are). I'm just paying forward in a small way, to a wonderful young man, who I'm sure will carry on with that. And who doesn't like to see kids hunting and fishing? We need to encourage them all we can. They are the future of this outdoors life that we love so much. Look at the picture from above. Our future is in good hands.

I know that many of you , like Growie, make your own pickles, but how about store bought pickles available to all of us? Having said that, my VERY favorite dill pickles are BICK's Garlic Whole Dills, made by Smuckers of Canada. I cannot find a source here in the US, so I stock up when I go up to hunt gobblers every spring. They are a fairly big pickle, very crunchy and delisheous. Garlicky and not too vinegary. My current favorite that is locally available is Claussen Whole Dills...They are SUPER crunchy, although I'd like to see them back off on the allspice a little. They are kept refrigerated at all times, so you'll find them in the meat case, or the produce area, or perhaps the dairy case.

I can't link,on Kindle...but this week's Growing deer TV has a great pond/water I g hole segment..Just wish I knew what products the guy was using...

You've been drinking way too much MSM Kool-Ade, my friend, if you believe any of this. It's nothing more than today's anti-Trump talking points and propaganda.

I hate hunting blinds. Feel so trapped by them with very limited visibility. It would have to be raining to get me in one. The harnesses aren't bad Biz. Buy a pair of the spiderweb bibs. Very comfortable and the harness is built it. Piece of cake. BTW - get those blinds in early so the deer are accustomed to them. Tough to set a blind and hunt it immediately with success.

BJ's or Costco carries them sometime. That's where I've been getting them.

If you can find these they are amazing.... http://www.famousbbqstore.com/78780.html

I've run them in the summer as long as its was not too hot and only in the morning but I think its more me not being able to handle the bugs and the heat. If I do I usually don't run them for more than an hour and as long as it is cool. I mainly run them to get them into shape as they tend to get a little plump and need to build up their endurance prior to opening day.

I agree both forms of tuning work and I use them both. But for a newbie on his own, I think walk back tuning is the better option. Paper tuning requires more knowledge of tuning and works better when you already have solid and consistent form. JMO.

Nice vid Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Speaking of PR though....was up there for a ride around tonight. Picked up my new old truck lol. I traded this truck in 3 years ago and just bought it back again lol. Timing was right and I really liked this truck. Once I saw it I knew I had to have it again. Just picked it up after work today. Had to go get a little mud on the tires and look for deer. They are doing some logging up in PR. Lots of deer out and about tonight too! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That looks Like a blast, what state?

Ya know....I thought about that this morning lol. Rob should probably save those pics of the maps I posted and I can edit my post and delete them. But even if that did happen. I still have about 10 other spots up my sleeve that I'll give anyone wanting help. That place is big and it's tough to hunt and scout by yourself. I've gathered my Intel over the last 2 falls with a buddy of mine but it took us awhile. I've had a lot of cameras around that place too....luckily I've never had one stolen. I did have a hunter on my one camera but thankfully he was a good guy and just waved and kept on hiking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's called "paying it forward". It's a good thing,and it keeps the traditions going.

This thread is refreshing.... No arguing and in fighting... Which you see all too often here... Really nice to see a hunter getting a bow and some great advice on where to hunt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stuffed zucchini is also a wonderful option. Need big ones. Cut in half, spoon out seeds set opening up and stuff with favorite fillings. I like a mixture of hot Italian sausage, bread crumbs, egg, parm cheese some diced bell peppers.

Seeing that smile is all the thanks I need. Made my day!

My wife made some zucchini pizza . She sliced the zucchini thin , put tomato sauce on top with a slice of pepperoni and a small square of cheese on top . Then put it in the oven for a short while . Was pretty good but the zucchini could have been baked longer .

Actually I do. Right behind the bench is a tower/box blind. It's a 400 yd look to the back treeline.

Big oops on the part of Oliver's dad. Actually two oops'. One for underage hunting/shooting, two for publicizing it!

Nothing tells people how passionate you are about beagles and bunnies quite the way polka dots do,lol
