Wow ! Buck of a lifetime ....

It was 29 degrees here in Ontario when I headed out at 5 am . When I got off at the Livonia exit ( #9 ) it was 24 degrees . When I got to my SILs home on Lima road , it was 19 degrees . I had a double pair of socks on and it didn't take long for my feet to get cold in the chair blind that I had tucked back into some thick stuff . Stayed there from 6:10 am to 11 am . Checked out the gully lot and went to my vehicle . Removed a couple of Real Estate signs in the village of Geneseo , got something to eat and went back to the property . Watched the GVHC riding across the property way out with the hounds on the trail of a fox . Saw a doe hauling butt across an open field that the fox hunters kicked out . Went back to the blind and stayed there until 5 pm . Another dismal day . The clock is ticking !

That's why the toilet seat should be left up when not in use !

Stanley died in a fire and his body was burned pretty badly. The morgue needed someone to identify the body, so they sent for his two best deer hunting friends, Cooter and Gomer. The three men had always hunted and fished together and were long time members of a hunting camp. Cooter arrived first, and when the mortician pulled back the sheet, Cooter said, Yup, his face is burned up pretty bad. You better roll him over. The mortician rolled him over and Cooter said, Nope, ain't Stanley . The mortician thought this was rather strange, So he brought Gomer in to confirm the identity of the body. Gomer looked at the body and said, Yup, he's pretty well burnt up. Roll him over. The mortician rolled him over and Gomer said, No, it ain't Stanley. The mortician asked, How can you tell? Gomer said, Well, Stanley had two ass-holes. What! He had two ass-holes? asked the mortician. Yup, we never seen 'em, but everybody used to say, There's Stanley with them two ass-holes. Cooter and Gomer are both now employed in the Obama administration. One in the Cinncinatti IRS office and the other in the Justice Department.

Yeah , a few have the attitude that , " if you don't do it my way , you're doing it wrong" ! I choose to butcher my own deer though .

Heading for Geneseo in the am . It's gonna be ccccccccccold !

I'll stick with my Aldi's peanut butter / oatmeal granola bars ........

Looks like a bit of whip lash !

I was out installing signs today and had to use a John . I stopped at McDonalds at the corner of Rt 250 and Rt 31 . Someone was at the urinal so I stepped into the stall and started to lift the seat . Some lazy slob didn't bother and pissed on the seat . What the heck is wrong with people ! What the hell do they do at home ? Total slob !

Yeah , no sense in having laws . Why can't we shoot when ever we want too . And why can't we use spot lights if we want to. Bull Crap !!! If it's not legal to shoot until 7:05 or what ever , then it should be obeyed .

and ........ no one arguing or getting Hostile !

This caught my eye

When I 1st saw the topic I thought it was going to be another thread about Tresspassers !

Nice going . Glad someone's getting some deer .

Drove to Geneseo this am and took my 2 man chair blind with me . Set it up in the dark where I had trimmed a spot in the gully lot . I knew it would be windy but I was hoping to catch deer either crossing the pasture lot going in or coming out of the gully . I was all set by 6:20 . It sure as heck was windy . I had the chair blind tucked in pretty good so it didn't move much . I had a bank behind me and I could hear the wind howling up above . I was thinking , what the hell am I doing out here ? Heard a single shot in the distance around 6:50 . It was the only shot I heard all day long . I sat in the stand until about 11:15 and then got out and went up to my car . I walked along the gully bank on the way up and kept checking for any deer . I figured if I got one , I had the rest of the day to get it out of there . Didn't see a thing . I fixed my SILs mailbox and headed for town to get something to eat . When I* got back it was still blowing hard and started to sprinkle . It was forecasted to rain in the afternoon and I figured I had enough for one day . Got my shotgun and backpack from the barn and headed out . Stopped off in Henrietta and gave my youngest son a anterless permit for 8F . He has permission to hunt a spot in Marion where he can use his rifle but I am still good with the permits I have . All I need is for some deer to cooperate ! I'll be back there Wednesday ..........

Hmmmmmm ! I wonder what the reaction would be if you took a dump in a scrape ......

I think I have seen those bags along the expressway ..........

Sooooo , which one of you is this ?

I carry a few of the 4" ty-raps in a plastic cigar tube . I use one to attach to the deer's ear and tuck it inside the ear . Then I put another around the ear to secure it so it doesn't blow off when I haul it away in the trailer .

If you don't have a Dollar Bill , 3 quarters are 2 7/8" ......

He may have been carrying the pistol in his hand , tripped and shot himself . People change their stories so they don't look so stupid . People shoot themselves or others and say they know they had the safety on . Bull Crap !

A Canandaigua man shot himself in the leg with a 44cal handgun . 48 year old Kevin Perrin shot himself when his handgun discharged in his holster . A foreign object -possibly a tree branch-activated the trigger as Perrin was stepping over a tree trunk .

I would find another place to hunt and if asked why , tell them ...........

Nice looking Buck . Congrats to your brother .

Got to my spot in Geneseo by 6 am . Just before I got to the spot where I wanted to set up the blind , I spooked 3 deer . I assumed they were doe as all I saw in the darkness was 3 tails . Heard shots at 6:20 . Legal was 7:04 am . Around 6:50 I heard 1/2 dozen shots in various directions . At 7:20 I had a deer coming my way . I checked it in the binos and it was a spike . He came within 60 yards and I decided to pass on the little guy . At 7:30 an 8 point came out of the gulley and hurried across the far end of the gulley pasture . A few minutes later I head a shot and hoped the neighbor didn't shoot the buck . At 7:50 the 8 point came back across the field at a pretty good clip . I ranged him at 136 yards . Too far for a moving shot with the shotgun . Heard probably around 3 dozen shots between 6:20 and 8:30 . Then nothing . At 10:45 I took the loppers into the pasture lot and trimmed out a couple spots where I can put my 2 man blind next week . Went up to my SILs to help her with a couple jobs then back to hunting . I walked the laneway . Checked 2 trail cams . Took a slow walk through the thick stuff and then back to the blind . It was quiet until 3:50 when I heard 7 shots fired . Then silence . At 4:55 I saw a spike walk through the middle of the adjacent field . Checked him with the binos . Looked like the one I passed on in the am . His left spike was shorter than the right . Thought he did pretty good getting through the 1st day . About 5 minutes later I heard a couple shots coming from the direction the buck was traveling . On the bright side I found my missing camera . It was on the adjacent property and unlocked . I knew it was mine as it was a Wildgame camera in a Moutrie lock box . The lock and cable were missing and there was nothing on the card . It had the styrafoam blocks I used to fit the camera in the box with my address label on the bottom . It also had the ratchet strap that I improvised to hold the lock box to a tree . Normally I wouldn't have gone on that proprty , even though I have permission , as other guys hunt it . I guess it was just fate !
