  1. No big deal just two pussy........cats!
  2. Great video! Yea that really goes to show how they grow up. Why not invite Grandpa with the low hanging belly next time.
  3. Real nice, that 3 pt had a big body!
  4. I get into the stand by 6:20 give or take a few minutes. I usually stay all day but on occasion I will come out around 10. Killed my biggest buck with the gun coming out at 9:30. I can't tell you how many times I jump deer coming back in around noon. Best to stay right there all day, pack alot of food and water. Last year My brother shot a doe in the morning and we brought my father-inlaw in on the quad, he has a hard time walking. Well after shooting the doe and gutting it and getting the quad out of the area we all headed in for breakfast and to let the area settle down. I was the first back in after 1 1/2 hours, don't you know it I come face to face with Mr. Big right where we all were standing when we decided to come out. We both surprised each other and I fumbled for the safety, the rest is history..............My neighbor tells this story of a great big buck flying through the air at midday from my property to the swamp. Mr. big lives, he wasn't taken last year.
  5. Nicw does so far, deerslayer get some cardboard under that deer! lol
  6. The land I own had 4 home made stands on it they were real nice. Not high up in trees but elevated. Each stand had a funnel that had a cap. The funnel had a hose that went straight into the ground. I never dug one up but I bet ya there is a 5 gal bucket down there with holes in it.
  7. Doewhacker that was funny!!!!!! After a nights drinking it's the BUCK ROAR!
  8. Never had a deer spook from urine. No problem pissing right off the stand. I believe in a hunting video by Dan Fitsgerald he pees off the stand and said it would attract a mature buck from the noise!!!!!! Anything to sell a video.
  9. Just ordered two from Cabellas, one for me and a jr. archer. All those years hanging stands and standing in homemade stands two 2x4's and a piece of plywood, we are lucky!
  10. Hope your better. I dislocated my finger back in August and this past weekend when it was in the mid 30's it really bothered me. You may be able to pull back but the cold might put you in alot of pain. Bring along some advil during the hunt.
  11. My desire to let a yearling buck walk diminishes with as the season wears on.............remember a hunters season may be only 1 day, a week or every day of the season.
  12. I put in turnips this year. I also have plenty of bears around so I will report back at what I see. I think they will love them once the frost hits.
  13. Well my Mom did the original and she was all over the place with the new camera. I copied the video to my Ipod and then posted it. I remember that big foot film when the beast looks back at the camera, funny!
  14. Here is the video, had to copy it and resize, enjoy.
  15. Kid, It's the real deal, although I've been retouching for a good part of 25 years I see what your saying. I have the video also just have to downsize it and post, maybe this weekend.
  16. Wow, I really like what I'm hearing. You guys really show a dedication to the sport and the deer. Just to show you how tough these animals are back in 91 I gut shot a big 7pt. we tracked him for 3 hrs and finally he laid down a couldn't get up and I ended it. After hanging the deer up I noticed that his front leg must of been broke at one time the joint was a big ball but it healed. His other front leg had a mound under the skin so I took my knife and cut it open. Out came the cardboard wading form a shot. Go figure, this deer was 3.5 if not 4.5 years old. One strong SOB!
  17. So far the numbers seem low which is good! Keep'em coming.
  18. We all talk about the ones we shoot and recover, how about the deer we wound and don't recover. Put down how many years you been hunting, deer wounded by bow or gun. I have been hunting 31 years. Gun non recovered deer 1. Bow non recovered deer 4.
