I leave my stands up and periodically replace the rachet straps .

that is one ugly pig !

M80 as in Trail cam

You are assuming that it was shot where it laid . It could have been shot in the woods and died near the road . Who knows ?

He's been checking to see who's Naughty or Nice !

When I was a kid , I used to wear sneakers most of the time and hitch-hiked all over the area with no cold feet problem . Over the years it changed . My feet get cold . I bought a pair of replacable insoles that have a slot for hand warmers . When it's not real cold , you can put the foam inserts back in the insoles . They seem to help . I recall this topic being brought up on other sites in the past . It was often suggested to put odorless anti-perspirant on the feet ..........

I don't feel Blaze orange should be mandatory but I don't hunt without it during gun season . I don't want to be a negative statistic !

Yes . I comparative shop . Wally World should start have clearances on it hunting stuff now but all the stores don't mark things down the same in every store .

Good reporting Fletch . I will take a break from things for a while . I will be busy in January and for a few months following as my wife is having reconstructive foot surgery .

On the upside , I did a Stress Test at the Cardiologist's today and passed with flying colors . I weighed 22 pounds less than I did at last year's rest .

The November 4 issue of New York Outdoor News states that the DEC Ok'ed the Whitetail Proposal . The only thing up in the air is the "Youth Hunt" .

Wow ! some interesting stuff in that report .........

I had to go to Henrietta today so I went to Gander Mt to buy a sleeping bag that they had on sale ( from $99.99 to $49.99 ) . They only had 2 left . Gander Mt honored my $10 DICK's coupon but I was short $ .01 to make a $50 purchase and had to but a damn candy bar in order to meet their demands . I told the girl that DICKs didn't mess with the $ .01 difference and she said "we aren't Dicks" ! I still got a good deal .

This is the Final Installment on a disappointing season . Between yesterday am & pm , I was in the stand for over 8 hours and saw nothing . Heard 4 shots all day long . Nothing close . I hunted on West Bloomfield where I had gotten a buck during archery season this year and had taken a couple deer from that stand in the past . It was pretty nippy in the am but I survived . Glad the season is over as I am kinda sick of the cold wind blowing in my face . Never saw a thing all day , not even when driving to or away from the area . I'm just thankful that I have at least one in the freezer !

That's right . The smart ones live longer !

I have a NEF 50 cal Huntsman . No stainless . It serves the purpose when I have something to shoot at . It cost me a whopping $135 about 7 years ago . I am also partial to the New england firearms . I picked up a Traditions Renegade with a fluted barrel for my son . It's a beautiful in-line but I can't get it to shoot consistant !

I am only 1 mile from the Rod and Gun club . I stop over and fire it into the berm .

I would bet different game wardens would have different opinions on the question .

Gonna give the spot where I shot my bow buck in October another look tomorrow . My son said he had stopped by to scout the area and had 2 small bucks and 3 doe run jaunt across one of the fields . Last day of the season for me so I am hoping for the best . We usually bow hunt that area and then don't hunt it during regular gun season as a guy , his wife & kid hunt then . Kind of a working agreement and we share the stands .

A dash of Peppercorn seasoning gives it a little bite !

Deerthug came up with it !

I carried the ML with me the whole gun season except for one day > I like the single shots .

Great song !

Bow season is only 287 days away .............
