Anyone missing any squirrels, they’re all over here , please come get them .

Dead calm here , leaves dry and noisy . I’m in a little early for me , but buying that TenPoint xbow was faster then I thought .

I have the LW hand climber . Fine stand easy to carry and use . Haven't used it in years , trading it to a plumber friend for some work .

Well 3 days of rest , lots and lots of ice and ibuprofen and my shoulders have mostly returned to their normal poor state . Shot 3 arrows in Moogs basement Wed. Night drew ok but had some pain later . They feel better today, will,hunt tonight . Oh and thanks for turning my peep !

I'll be out this afternoon , report of two large bucks chasing each other around a stones throw from my spot .

Take the FD tests . I understand the work schedule is pretty favorable to hunting ....

Never had an issue at my spot in 8h , this year I had one on me after returning home. It was walking around my ankle area not attached . I bought the Sawyers and soaked all of my outer wear ( bought two bottles ) and boots . Also sprayed inside of boots and pant legs . I store them in contractor bags and remove boots and hunting clothes before getting in car for drive home . The day I got one I walked through a lot of heavy brush , I mostly walk plowed up fields and pretty open hardwoods though .

No idea the bartender was young and hot , and running non stop , as we brought about 40 to the bar ourselves . We talked about workouts , and when I, asked which Single Cut , I thought I heard "14" something ?

Single Cut something , not my style to citrus .

Sam’s Octoberfest , waiting for the hot wings .... Should be good on stand tomorrow!

Glock and Surefire good combo ! Ive bow hunted 4 times this season for about 10 hours on stand ( afternoons I sit the last 90 minutes only ) anyways I've seen 4 coyotes , a single and last morning out ,3 in a group . Im going to,spend some.time hunting them this year,. Nailed one with the 270 in deer season last year , but this year I'll hunt them after deer too .

If my wife has her way, we will be moving , mostly for tax , cost of living and weather , full inclusion in crossbow will just be a bonus , along with gun laws and over all politics . No fear I'll still post here !

Buying one Friday ! Not knowing if I'm able to,pull my compound back in the stand will have that effect on you ! Ill kill one buck each year with it , same as I always did in bow .

Crossbow ? Meant this ..... But you’re right a crossbow would make a great anniversary present !

I understand the whole cold thing , keep in mind I've been bow hunting 29 years in much colder temps with no,issues. That and I went from shooting 20-30 arrows in practice to not being able to,draw or only with difficulty almost overnight . Good news is I'm going to the dark side Friday ..... Come on Nov 4th ....

There is another thread with 20 some replies . I started that because auto correct changed BOW to NOW on this one .

I have a complete physical for work every year . Blood work , ekg,the works . Biz, you can come but no blinds . It’s to much like cheating to be totally hidden like that . Drew back three times on stand today, and shot 1 FP. A bit hard but I did it . i am thinking about getting an X bow now as well.As well as hunting the warmer afternoons .

First time hunting this stand , tough bow stand . This is the only shot , to thick to see them coming , they’ll pop out 15 yards away in the open . Been standing with bow ready . Three good sized coyotes slipped through . I’m going to make an effort to kill a bunch this year . i wondered why this skinny tree kept moving , there’s a Raccoon trapped above me !

It's already at 54 # . I haven't done any presses in about 4 years . I suppose I should just go super light . I do do dumbbell benches at around 65 and 70 , that's probably stupid too, but that's what I'm known for ..... I almost went today , but held off . I think there's some light weight pink dumbbells here my daughter left somewhere . In the academy the other recruits named me The Ironman, my first LT called me the Rhino, " get in The Rhinos way and you get the horn ." Its hard excepting the fact that now I'm more the Styroform man, and perhaps an angry Raccoon ...... Such is life . Thanks fellas .

Thanks Grampy. I shot ok all summer, boy was it a shock to be on stand and not able to pull back !!! ill be out in the AM, I’ll draw at home and when I get on stand and every half hour to keep it “ warmed up “ . My stand should be first half hour for action . close to big bucks bedding , but a bit from over night feeding fields . I often draw on each passing deer for practice drawing on deer, did not do that today.

Bought the heat pads ,will layer up , although I think I just aggravated my shoulder . Currently doing aggressive therapy ....

So I've been bow hunting since '89 , never an issue drawing a bow . Ok I have had shoulder issues for the last few years, but I can still draw and shoot although it's been getting harder . So,today I get in the stand at 7:10 and sit till 10:15 at which I going to fire a FP like I always do before climbing down , well I could not pull the bow back !!! So I stood up and figured I'd shoot standing and to the left just like yard practice . Nope ! Now my left hand was " asleep " for the last 45 minutes and the right was starting to tingle as well , this is claused either by my impinged shoulders or pinched nerve in neck, sleldom happens though . After I climbed down and limbered up I drew and shot my FP and did another 10 times walking out ,this went ok . Just now at home I shot 12 arrows it was a bit hard and at the end my rear delt hurt on my right arm . Now two,day ago I did deadlifts , like each Sat . 275, 5x5 , I normally do 225 as I stay light in my old age , then did 5 sets seated cable rows and then 3 farmers walks with idk 75# KB . Not sure if the work out taxed my shoulders , the cold , my messed up body , a combo ? The Mrs says to tape a heating pad to,it when I hunt . Thoughts ?

auto correct always changes Bow to Now .......

It’s starting to rain ! You hunt in the rain guys better be right !

Fifth little one to come by , we played the game for a good five minutes .
