Look on top of your head . Oh , wait , that's your glasses !

I should leave things alone . I am using 78 GB out of 905 GB . Plenty of room on my computer .

Well , at least they are in a safe place !

Woodchucks !

I still have a difficult time falling asleep the night before deer season opens . Any other time I can go to sleep in a couple minutes .

I have only seen a couple with faint spots in Mid October over the years . As of Aug 30 , 31 , they are still holding their spots pretty well .

Here are a couple Hand Crank Reviews from Cabelas http://www.cabelas.com/product/hunting/archery/crossbows-accessories/crossbow-cocking-devices|/pc/104791680/c/104693580/sc/333154080/i/337643280/excalibur-c2-crank-cocking-aid/727998.uts?destination=%2Fcategory%2FCrossbow-Cocking-Devices%2F337643280.uts http://www.cabelas.com/product/hunting/archery/crossbows-accessories/crossbow-cocking-devices|/pc/104791680/c/104693580/sc/333154080/i/337643280/parker-sidewinder-cocking-device/746122.uts?destination=%2Fcategory%2FCrossbow-Cocking-Devices%2F337643280.uts

Thanks for the input . When Windows was no longer supporting XP , I bought a new computer with Windows 8.1 . I like what I have here . I use Mozilla FireFox as I founf Internet Explorer too slow . Once in a while I use Chrome GOOGLE but never IE . I guess I will stick with what I have ( 8.1 ) . If it works , don't fix it !

Larry , did you have both eyes done ? I was told that if you had the LASIK for close up , it would mess up your distance . Is this true ?

I have had significant hearing loss . When I was in The Marine Corps we didn't have any hearing protection when shooting a rifle or the 81mm mortors . Worked several years in the Fabrication area of a large company . Part of it was in the the Punch Press area aka The Boob Boom Room . 800 ton presses pounding away . The operators had hearing protection but we in management didn't . When my mother in law passed away I inherited her hearing aids that she only wore a couple times because she didn't like them and had them set for my hearing . Amazing the sounds I pick up when wearing them . I don't wear them hunting as I am afraid of losing them . They originally cost around 5 grand . I sometimes smell the deer before I see them .

Personally , I can't answer that as I don't know . If we can knock trail cams by brand or model , etc , how much different is that than a bad experience with a crank on a crossbow ? Hopefully Burmjon will see this and have an answer .

I presently have Windows 8.1 and like it . I keep getting notices to update to Windows 10 . Does anyone have this ? Is it any better than Windows 8 or 8.1 ?

Here is another pic of that little guy

They only come out at night ....... except for the fawns

Always remember ...... Getting old beats the hell out of the Alternative !

Thank you .... one and all !

I havn't shot a buck in a couple years . Last year I put 2 does in the freezer . I shot was what available to me . I had more tags but no more opportunities . I take the deer for the freezer not for the antlers .

Soy beans are 3 1/2 ---- 4 feet high .

Nice looking bucks .

It wasn't my stand and it was on another person's property . I know it has been there for at least 3 years when I first saw it . A couple of new guys are hunting that area and wanted to hunt my SILs property also . She said NO . We had a thread about taking down someone's stand and leaving a note so I wonder if that is what these guys did . Because of the plastic bag on the support bar , I didn't think it had fallen and thought a note had been left . If that's the case , it appears that they did the right thing .

Done !

Walked my sister in laws property yesterday to see how wet the woods might be as it doesn't drain well . Saw a double treestand laying on the ground across the ditch from my SILs property . Some new guys are hunting there this coming year . It looks like it might have been removed and a note left with it .

There are certainly some shooters in that crowd in OPs post .

Nuttin ! Don't need anything . Too much gear as it is .......

I checked 3 trail cams . One was mostly a guy with a Bush Hog making trails through a pond field and no deer on the card . Another had a spike posing for the camera . Realized when I got home that the date had reverted back to January 2010 . On the third was a nice buck . I was there last Thursday but since I visited my sister I checked the cams and walked the woods to see if they had dried up . Only saw one doe while walking . There was a snail on one camera lens and when I took the cover off of the Moultrie Lock Box , there was a toad sitting on top of the camera and it startled me . It was pretty funny .
