New York Hillbilly

Never been there, but looks like a good choice.

With me still working full time at my age, it would depend on when and where. I would like to attend if it is possible. It looks like you all are north of me, but I am no stranger to the North country.

Yes! I was not able to open this site yesterday either. I too thought it was the end for this group of people to get together here. I went on FB (never saw this site on FB before) to see if anyone was saying anything there. Nothing! So, now that we seemed to have had that close call, what is Plan B if it does happen? Has anyone considered this yet? Sort of like a meeting place to do a head count during a fire drill at work. lol. Even though I don’t get a chance to post a lot, I would hate to lose touch with the few that never abandoned ship. I like almost everyone who remained, enjoy reading the posts, and the back and forth conversations.

I planned to hunt this morning. But with a house full of family sleeping here since last night, I didn’t want to disturb anyone. I’ll grab a couple hours this evening. 7M

The shows achieve their objective. They are entertainment, and fun to watch for many people. Very true! While salmon do fill many peoples freezers every year, at least on the Kenai Peninsula, and can take a big load of the food bill, there is always McD’s, Dairy Queen, and scores of other restaurants/diners, etc. to keep you fed. Other than the, they are going to starve if you don’t get a moose, squirrel, spruce chicken, rabbit sort of show material, the other stuff, like working around their homestead, is pretty much on point. I would cross paths from time to time in the community with some from the Last Frontier, and they always struck me as nice, friendly people, going about their daily lives just like everyone else. I even sent a note on a napkin telling him we enjoyed his show and paid for Ottos’ lunch one day at Rockys Cafe, when me and my wife were there eating. : )

Happy Birthday!

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! I wish you and your wife a speedy recovery!

Ever have one of those sits when you just aren’t feeling it? When you keep thinking you should have gone to one of your other stands? Or the way this wind is blowing maybe stayed indoors to watch football? lol.

Good luck this afternoon. I’m headed out again myself.

I kicked out a spot beside a scrubby little bush/tree. It seems to have turned into a funnel of cover they keep using between two of my fields. The wind is not in my favor but it’s too late for me to be moving now. I should at least see deer. I think!! Lol Good luck to who ever is out there this evening.

I’ve been up since 4:30AM listening to the boiler run. Ten degrees outside. I suspect the deer are curled up in balls with their noses tucked in, conserving energy. I’ll approach the cut over corn fields this afternoon from the cornfield side, and try to catch them coming out of the woods.

You would have to be a real hardcore bow hunter to be out there in these temperatures.

I agree! I just texted my buddy a few minutes ago, the same plan. : )

I want to go in the morning, but don’t think I can tolerate 10 degrees for very long. I’m not sure I would want to be gutting or working on one in those temperatures. Anybody planning on braving the cold?

Don’t worry! Don’t believe your lying eyes! There are no drones flying around! You can trust we will tell you the truth! It’s just another conspiracy theory, just like the balloon story! Just like the Covid virus story! Wake up people!
