I don't know, the kids we have at my camp and my neighbors are as excited as I was the night before opening day. In fact they get a charge out of prepping shooting lanes and tending to food plots. The kids around us are super busy with school and sports. We have to carve out time to get them to camp. Throw in a travel sport team and it's really hard. When you do get them to camp hunting is all they think about!

I'll go out this afternoon. I'll hunt the corn lickers!

Picked up my dogs at the Boarding Kennel. It was around 4:00. Very nice area south of 17 in Avoca. Groups of Does in the fields feeding. Each group was 6 or more. Mostly yearlings with a few larger ones mixed in.

Merry Christmas my friends!

We have a lot of wind and rain on L.I. I closed down the house in Howard when I left on Wednesday. Other than the power going out I should be ok. Good luck all.

I have a logging road from the top of my property that runs right past two of my ladder stands. I have often thought of using a blower to clear the leaves off the road. I've seen videos of people doing this. Then again I had a great bow season seeing big bucks and I walked that crunchy road all the time. lol

So I went in deep to my stand that borders a big bedding area. Found a lot of tracks a few from big deer. Unfortunately I didn't see anything. It was a nice two hours standing there no wind, snow on the ground waiting for one to show up. Beautiful afternoon, it's why I do it!

I'm headed out in a few. Haven't seen a deer on my property in three weeks. I just don't know where to go. I'll let you know how it goes! lol

Always good to vent. I would of taken the shot also. They are amazing animals and very tough

I'm getting the feeling that there is way too much food left out there for them. Just a few times we caught them in the fields before dark. I don't know?

Stand hunting after a snowfall : risky or no big deal?
First-light replied to Northcountryman's topic in Deer Hunting
Don't risk it. I fell this year without any snow. I was very lucky not to get hurt. Pick a good spot and Whack one! -
It was a bust! My setup but not one deer showed for pictures!
-
Got a wsw wind. I'm sitting my ass on the east side of my corn field. Tons of tracks in there. Wish me luck!!

Nice deer!

I'm seeing that in my leased property 8S. So many Doe around and no body hunting towards late season.

I'll hunt tomorrow and Sunday. The guys behind me come up and push everything including a grocery cart!

Wow never thought about this. Doing it right now. Thanks -
I had installed a Lopi Endeavor stove in the family room. I want to move some of the hot air from there to the kitchen. I bought a fan its on the desk but doesn't work well. Any suggestions? Both rooms are cathedral ceilings.

We nailed 2x6's as steps in a tree. Made a little platform and stood in it for the hunt. Crazy! Yeah I lived those days and I'm happy to experience it. That's why camp fires are so important for old stories to be told!

Saw nothing tonight until about 4:45. Had 4 adult doe trot by at 80 yards. Tough shot with open sites and I wasn't going to take it but the last one stoped broadside. Clean miss. Boy is the area 8S loaded with deer.

My Taxi charges $800 for a Deer mount. He does amazing work and I don't mind spending the money. If I ever shot a Bear he would get it, no doubt. Spend the money so you are not disappointed in the end. Congrats on the Bear.
