Turkeys on parade this morning....heavy frost and they sounded like elephants coming over the hill

Congrats....Fantail

Lol steve......home depot...they can have regular parking spots.....handicapped ones with the blue symbol....and deer dispatching spot painted in red..lol

Thanks WNY....poison ivy.....handle EVERYTHING carefully if you get my drift...good luck

I am just guessing but I think they might not stand around long enough foe us to get a tape meqsure on them. I'd hate to be the guy getting a ticket for 15 1/2

Thanks Bushnell...it sucked. Drove around to the other side of the river and got permission to go look...couldn't take a gun because gun isn't open there....couldn't find where she came out of the water

Well I jinks myself....lost my first deer. Nice sized doe at 85 yrds...folded her...up and running...never stopped for 2 1/2 miles....blood ok for most of it...bright red...no bubbles...I think I jerked it and took her across her shoulder. Crossed the southern zone line and crossed the river. Those animals amaze me

I am the worst....I just knew that was the important part of the story....a very creepy one I might add....that would have feeaked me out

No horns yesterday....none so far today...lots of flat tops

Maniquin....I think he meant

Lol...larry.

That I would run on inverter just because 12 volt TV's can get pricey....that is only 75 watts though....the main draw you listed are lights...I use my propane more than electric. If you can drop the wattage of the lights and it will really help you out.

I think my nverter is 1200 watt but I rarely use it...all my stuff is 12 volt....lights....pump...and I have a 3250 watt generator I bought at Aldi's for 200 bucks (runs like a champ for last 3 years)

Where you are going to run into a problem is using and inverter...it burns way more energy. If you run 200 watts of lights and 75 watts of TV and have a 100 Amp/ Hour rated Battery. It will only operate at 2 hours...full draw down and not good. 12 volt lights directly off the battery will do better for you. If you don't want to haul the battery the controller is the way to go. Say youkeep the set up above and use it for an hour....50 amp ours will be gone. 45 watt pannel will give 3 amp hours per hour of exposure...average of 5 hours a day....means 15 amp hours per day going back in...you need a little more than 3 days to replace what you will burn in a day.

I have one Marine battery 105 amp hours. I run 2 DC lights in bathroom and bunk room so those are only used on occassion. I have a 12v water pump that runs the shower/toilet/sink(this is our main power usage) 7 amp hour pump. I also run my fathers CPCP machine on 12v. I will burn about 30 amps a weekend so I kick the generator on to top off.....now I won't have to because the solar will top it off while we are gone. I also have an inverter for guys that don't have a 12v plug for cell phone charger, but that is seldom used. Showers burn our most power because the water pump runs non stop then. You get a solar panel and a battery and an inverter and you are golden...especiall for that minimal draw....depending on the draw of the charger you may be able to get away with a 15 watt panel to top it off but you have to have a controller if you are leaving it hokked up all the time

one thing I can guarantee.......if you aren't out there you won't get one. I am parking all day in teh most protected stand I have

Hope it works out for you all...let me know. I bet if using ground you could cut the cook time in half

New book just hit the best seller list....Title---101 ways to piss of the world and paint a bullseye on your back....Author-----The Hunter

Well if you follow this ones posts you guys will see he thinks he IS better than all of us....and KNOWS more than any of us...don't believe me just ask him...lol

FYI...I ahve done a lot of research on the solar charging systems and if you drop your battery below 50% of it's capacity you start damaging the cells. The Gels are more resistent to it but it still happens. If you are using a marine battery with 100 amp hour reserve never draw over 50 amps off it before charging. Inverters are an issue for 12 volt systems. there is a 15% loss in the conversion so if you have to figure the usage when adding things remember that.

Doc, as teenagers me and 2 buddies built a rustic 12x16 cabin....we had logs up to 18" diameter we got up 8 feet. all we used was a block and tackl...and a log a fram ....and a snowmobile. Really was that hard to do....took a long time but not too difficult

FYI Cabin----Harbor Freight has a 45 watt solar panel with charge controller on sale right now...150 bucks ...was normally 250. It would give you about 3 amps per hour...... 5 hour average of sunlight to charge the batteries put about 15 amp/hours back on your batteries. I just put one on our camp last week. My wife doesn't think what we ave done with ours equals any type of comforts either,,,lol. But she never hunted out of a tent in November...lol

Mine was bought as a muzzle loader...so no paperwork like a rifle. I don't see why they would care if the numbers for what you were carrying were on your permit. Who ever gets a written response first...I would love a forwarded copy

Maybe the best approach, Doc, is one that mirrors the only true expert......mother nature...so if the ones that need a change really want one.....maybe only take out the young and very old....maybe we need a slot limit on deer...lol

And THAT is what this sport is all about...enjoy
