[Climber cables]

As always, great feedback from this group. TYVM to all who gave their input 

[Climber cables]

Question for all of you using climbers. Have you ever changed the cables on yours? If so, how often? I’ve never changed and was thinking of doing just for safety sake….

Thanks for any/all input

[Baffin Insulated Hunting Boots]

I bought a pair of Baffin Insulated Hunting Boots and wore them for the 1st time last Saturday . I wasn't impressed with them for keeping my feet warm . I had to order 1 1/2 size larger than my other footwear due to the bulky insulation . I tried putting my heated insoles in but that didn't work . I wore my heated socks but couldn't reach inside the boots to turn them on . I did use a pair of the toe warmers in the boots . I had thought that since the boots were engineered in Canada that they would be much better . 

@fasteddie…..Do you walk far to your spot? If so, bring a second pair of socks, and change the “walking” wet/sweaty ones. I do this as a routine, I even change underwear and t shirt, I have a horrible time with cold feet, it could be 40+ degrees and my feet are cold.
I’ve tried everything and I mean everything, expensive boots, the shit insoles for $100+, the regular heated ones, loosening laces when you sit so your feet aren’t constricted can also help. Just a few of my tricks, but nothing ever helps, it sucks. Good luck and if you find a miracle warm boot, let me know. Oh, and most importantly, have fun and shoot a nice one

Dang … can you hunt alone ? 

I may try on Saturday, if my wife doesn’t have a shit fit, or hide my keys

[Good luck all- my season is on hold]

We’ll after several exciting bow hunts, I wasn’t able to put anything in the freezer, and was looking for 1 last day with the bow tomorrow and then get at it with the gun Saturday and beyond. I started feeling blah yesterday with an annoying dry cough. For the sake of the other guys I was going to be with, I went and got tested this morning. I got the RONA. It couldn’t have come at a worse time.

BEST of luck to all who will be out this weekend. I’ll be home watching the forums and being jealous of not hunting, have fun and most importantly BE SAFE

[Farts in stand]

Never trust a fart, but last time out I ripped one and 5 minutes later had deer show up

[Brother was at the Cortland water works]

My daughter is a student there and last year her dorm room faced that direction. I was tempted to setup in her room a few times, but I guess I’d be writing this from the jail cell if I did…

[Erie county vetos youth hunting]

Some of my best times in the woods when my kids were young was the youth weekend. I was also fortunate enough to be a mentor to my buddies kid one year, so this is terrible news from an A HOLE politician 

[My new ride has arived]

Sweet, best of luck and safe travels!

[Red white blue hydro dipped]

My buddy arrowed this last Nov, and asked me to do something cool with it.  I am just a bit disappointed because it doesn’t have enough white in it. I tried to do red white and blue but they red and blue took over too much. Either way, I know he’ll appreciate it but not exactly what I envisioned 

[Any HVAC experts here?]

@moog5050, good luck. IDK where u live, but have the pros look into it, my buddy is an HVAC guy and says same. also have my bro’s at the FD come and check for gas leak too, we’re always happy to help

I can’t go anymore, my muzzeloader will be shelved this year

[How to cook?]

Should I sautee in butter and onion?

I had a great season and spent more time in the woods than I have in many years, plus I hunted with my son and my good buddy a lot. I BLEW a golden opportunity on opening day, so I only have myself to blame for that, just happy for all the AMAZING members of this forum who filled a tag or 2. 

[Arrow "Wraps"?]

Don’t laugh, but I use hot pink, a color which will stick out in the leaves etc, it has helped find arrow. A guy I met in the archery shop had them on his, you can get from Lancaster 

[Opening day weapon?]

.35 Remington pump action

[8H DMP up for grabs]

Thanks @Culvercreek hunt club. Didn’t know that, in any case I’m still not gonna use, hope somebody can

[8H DMP up for grabs]

Everyone,

I was supposed to be going to visit a friend in 8H, not going now, therefore my loss is your gain. If anyone wants it, please PM or reply here. First come first served.

Thanks, and I hope someone can use it. If you’re here on LI, you can pick up, or I’ll mail anywhere, just didn’t want to toss in trash

[Stolen Camera (3N)!!!]

The guy in the shorts had (what looked to be) a handheld angle grinder or some other type of disc saw, burglary tools for sure. happy to know the ending of the story was positive 

[Boots]

The Rocky were about 160-170.

Rocky, I also just researched Baffin but wayyyyy too expensive 

[Tips on Hunting with Kids?]

have FUN. I miss those days, even though we still hunt together the young, inquisitive days were awesome. One piece of advice, when he says it’s time to go, listen.
