Congrats on the Birthday Buck !

Wooly --- You Da Man !

How about a Group Hug !

Happy Birthday Airedale! Happy Birthday Mowin!

Went to my friend's property in Walworth to check my trail cameras . I have 5 there but was only able to pull cards from two . The swamp was flooded . I wanted to see if it would be worthwhile to hunt there . The roof on my hub blind was caved in and the roof was filled with water and slush . The only thing that saved it from being destroyed was that I had left a plastic lawn chair inside and the roof hub landed in that . I went back to the pole barn and got a Folgers coffee container , bailed everything out of the roof and popped it back up . I got lucky . The only deer that had gone by was at nighttime .

I still have one of the old type Ranging Range Finder . It was pretty accurate but only had a distance of 75 yards . It worked on a parallax system like the old 35mm cameras to focus .

Happy Birthday FSW !

Got there around noon . My oldest son shot a small buck and almost had to float it out of the woods as the water is deep back there . My youngest son still wasn't feeling well and left before I got there . I sat in my pond blind stand until 4:30 and never saw a thing . Heard one single shot a ways off between noon and 4:30 .

Apparently you aren't smart enough to understand a joke ! Do I need to type slower ?

I am going to head for Geneseo around 11am today and hunt with two of my sons . Each of us have taken a deer from the property so far this gun season .

Survived shopping on Black Friday

Doe turned out to be a button buck . My oldest son and I did an afternoon hunt in Geneseo Friday November 23 . I used my elevated stand at the pond bank . I hadn't slept well Thanksgiving night and felt real tired . I closed my eyes a few times but stayed awake . At about 3 pm what appeared to be a doe stepped out in the open less than 75 yards away . She moved into the weeds and I hoped I could get a good shot through them . If the deer moved further , it would be in the thickets . I put the 25-06 on the bi-pod , pulled the hammer back and fired . She dropped right where she stood . I waited a few minutes , got down , took a quick picture and got back in the stand . Around 4 pm my oldest son came down with his ATV and the sled . He said he would field dress it for me . I had the tag made out and when I went to attach it to and ear I realized that it was a button buck and not a doe . Anyway , it's in my son's freezer and it was one less tag to eat .

Darn deer

Broke the ice and shot a doe at 3 pm . She dropped in her tracks. I love my 25-06 single shot. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Not a hunting item but a great deal ! I was in the market for a Vacuum Cleaner . In the new Consumer Reports book , the Dyson Ball Multi Floor 2 was rated the highest but at a price of $400 . I saw the Kohl's ad with it on sale for $250 . After dinner yesterday , we stopped at Kohl's to pick one up . A woman was walking around getting people to sign up for Credit Cards . I didn't want one but there was an offer for 35 percent off of the purchase so I signed up . There were very long lines at the checkouts but she gave us a slip to go directly to Customer Service and avoid the lines . The price was $162.49 plus $13 tax for a total of $175.49 for a $400 Vacuum . Not bad ! Plus my wife was given a $60 voucher to be used for an in store purchase next week . I think we did okay ......

Happy Thankgiving

In another thread , fatal shot was brought up . A gut shot deer can travel a log way as well as it can with other wounds and be claimed by another hunter . What so yo consider a "Fatal Shot" ?

Here is a Black Friday deal from TSC

What the heck is going on ? My oldest son and I went to Geneseo this am . He used his gun stand and I set up in the Laneway in a double chair blind . I had visibility to over 200 yards . Nothing came in . I saw nothing from 7 am to 4:30 pm . My son only saw the small spotted fawn that I had seen during Crossbow Season . Only heard 2 shots all day long and they were in the distance . We might try an afternoon hunt Friday . Bummer !

Thet thar's a gud'un !

The LIKE button must not be working . I'm not getting many likes !

Why not drive to Auto Zone or Pep Boys and have them check it out ...........

Was in my elevated blind at the pond on my SIL's property in Geneseo before 6am . Quite cold this am . I heard the 1st shot around 5:55 and another 17 before legal time . I stayed in my stand until 4:45 and never saw a thing . My youngest son was about 700 yards away in the flooded woods and got a small doe . My oldest son was about 700 yards south of me and got a large doe . So , it wasn't a bad day after all .

Congrats Paula !
