First-light

3.5 at best.

Tahoe+1/2 tank of gas=$27 and loving it! Just figures that the year I plan longer trips to the cabin but less frequent gas prices bottom out. lol

I think it is important that when giving a score you say gross or net. I think that deer will net 105-115. Nice buck!

Love how that deer blends into the Goldenrod.

I know where that is. Big bucks gone to waste.

Used the handcuffs and police car of the slain officer to incarcerate him. POS!!

Joe we are in 8P and I don't think any extras were going out. It would be nice though:)

Nice job Joe!! Way to go!

My niece has yet to shoot a buck so if a small guy comes along she can take it. Everyone else at the cabin has to look for older deer. I don't want button bucks shot at all. Doe permits were down this year also. This year two out of 4 received permits. Last year all of us had them.

Great thought thank you! lol I'm moving in Sunday full time. Just haven't had the time to do it. All the proceeds of the house went to charity so other than the estate sale that happened in April there has been no one else in the house for 27 years except a caretaker. I have his number and reached out to him but no reply.

Now let me ask you this, why would a single female school teacher in 1942 have a house built with two safes in it?

I'm painting this weekend, that would definitely mess up the job!! lol

I saw snow for Sat night. How much they didn't say. It will be windy all weekend though.

Actually I was just saying the site has been pretty good of late….then again I have the political thread on ignore. lol Kidding aside I just love not having all the political BS showing up recent topics for me. Life is grand!

Picture of my Father in law over the back door. You go through this door out to the woods, everyone says his name. He has been gone 3 years and loved to hunt and fish.

Very nice 8pt!

Here are some pictures. No manufacturer name on the safe. Sorry the tumbler pict is a bit blurry.

Glad you're ok.

Very Funny but she was never married. I'm thinking gold coins, exotic jewelry and cold hard cash!! lol and what you mean "worth watching" ??????? I received a million hits on YouTube from that miss video!!

Saw that picture last year……..giant!

Damn, now instead of painting all weekend you guys are firing me up to get this thing open!! All good suggestions and I will definitely video tape the opening of the safe!

Sorry guys! Kind of looks like this. I will get the manufacturer tonight when I'm over there.

Long story short…..I just bought a house from an original owner. It was built in 1942 and has two safes. One built into the foundation and one in the hallway closet. The house has not been lived in (but cared for) since 1987 when the owner died. It was left to a Niece that passed away in February. The safe in the basement is open but the hallway safe is locked. The executor of the trust did not have the combination. There is no family living to inquire about the combination. So how do I get into this thing???

A bit harsh Paula, don'y you think. This kid was out looking, using social media for suggestions. I like what he did. We always bitch about kids not getting involved in hunting, this kid goes the distance and then some. Good for you John. You gave it a good look and at times you just have to give up. Hopefully the deer lives and maybe you see it again. I'll use the word "failure" in a sense that you failed to find the deer. What you have learned from this experience you keep in that head of yours and use it next time you have to track. Good luck with the rest of the season!

You have some good hunting buddies, you're lucky Eddie!
