Five Seasons

There’s maybe 2% of people who can hunt to save money at the grocery store. For everyone else it’s a hobby and passion where the reward is usually something else with the bonus of meat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had this visitor by the blind yesterday and on the way to pick up our new pup in Germantown passed quite a few dead doe on the side of the 90. Fawns must be dropping Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

from a science stand point, both are PE. You and I know both what we're dancing around here and at this point I hope it's obvious that I'm just having fun. But the point is, there will always be a line and someone will always be trying to cross it. Your line is just different than mine and I'm sure there are those out there who thing an air powered bolt is just fine too.

I was up, even made it downstairs then flaked. We have a 4hr drive both ways tomorrow and... well I flaked again. I'm ashamed.

hell I get excited hearing a squirrel bark if I'm out with my .22. Maybe I'm easy, but I wouldn't do any of this if there wasn't excitement behind it. If that day ever comes, I'll give it all up.

A child with a learning disability can easily decipher your various statements support and condone it. And yes, I made 3 boys but I saw a doctor and no longer shoot out swimmers, so maybe I'm going through withdrawal?

there it is again. the promotion of illegal activity by New York's favorite deer sperm collector. It's like even the 1.5 mods left don't even care anymore. But god forbid Chef posts a slightly offensive picture, then out come the ban hammers. shameful

shouldn't be. It propels an arrow, who cares that it's not propelled by a string? Think about disabled people that have trouble cocking their crossbow and all the small girls who could benefit from this.

very same vest I use. I liked the pockets on my old vest a little better, but the kickstand is great as you can hunt anywhere without needing a tree.

I'm not sure passion translates to feeling more awake. There is some merit there though. Every one of us hunts for different reasons. I actually enjoy turkey hunting more than deer hunting. The back and forth, the run n gun, the temp. But the reward of sheer volume of meat is drastically different. A dead deer is months of food, whereas a turkey is a dinner and few lunches. Again, I know we all hunt for different reasons and meat isn't everyone's #1, including me. As I type, I think it's maybe because my #1 reason for hunting is the escape. The spring is an exciting time in life. It's warm, there's stuff to do. Whereas the fall is a wind down and the escape to the woods feels more welcome? IDK, I'm rambling and it could just be this particular year with a bunch of projects that I've had going. Of the small handful of birds I've killed, 2 were post 10. It's underrated for sure!

It's funny isn't it? Maybe it's that a deer wakeup is 5 to 6 and that extra hour or 2 is that much more important, but I don't feel beat for the day like I do with birds.

The series is here. I was going to share it if I had success lol. Right now It's just a guy doing his best with no idea if his plot will grow. The playlist is in the top right corner of the video, there are 12 videos so far.

i sent them a note and their customer service is great. Said they don't normally cover tires, but sending me a whole assembly so I don't have to get it mounted free of charge. great guys so far.

It’s getting worse and worse man. I don’t get these guys and women who are trying to recreate their youth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t mind killing a day to hunt… just these nice spring weekends are packed to the brim with shit to do, on top of trying to be a good dad. Shits tough as many of you good dads know! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's fair. The term is obviously what got under your skin and I guess it was the wrong choice of words. My point is that many, many, many woman can pull back a bow and it seemed that you were imply that they just couldn't. I think we've beat that to death. My whole food plot journey is chronicled on my youtube if you're interested in checking it out. I just popped a tire on my kunz mower so she's down for a bit, which is fine as there hasn't been any rain since I planted my clover lol. Going to be a long while before I have to mow it. but the orchard grasses are about knee high already too.

totally flaked again this morning. Was ready to go, but I just don't have the drive for turkeys like I do for deer. I think it's the time of year. We had baseball from 8-1 yesterday and then I spent the rest of the day doing yard work and crashed around 8. Another full day today and the thought of being whipped just didn't get me out of bed at 4am. If I can get a nap in I usually do ok, but otherwise I find myself being shot for the day. Anyone else? With a business trip this week I just felt the sleep was more worth it. We get a new puppy on Saturday so I honestly only see maybe 1 or more hunts this year...

Boys made it to 3-1 this morning with some great hitting and pitching. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We're close to mid-season already as sad as it is to say. What's the consensuses for everyone? Normal season, quiet season, active season? I don't have a great history on the property I hunt so it's hard for me to determine, but it seems the activity has been less than last year. I've had gobbling and yelps, but only eyes on 2 birds.

if you're on this site and haven't seen that movie it should be an instant ban. Once you've seen the movie you can rejoin haha

dude I have a pretty demanding job and 3 kids under 10, I've been getting up at 4 to turkey hunt and in the afternoon putting in a big ass food plot, I can barely remember what I had for breakfast. If I posted a meme from a porn that wasn't porn then I broke zero rules. Despite the fact that I piss some people off with my opinions, I have been and will continue to be one of the biggest advocates for this site and community. Now some may say that my opinions hurt this site because it creates drama, and maybe they're right. But I have always stood up for what is legally and ethically right and have always promoted less non-hunting BS, removal of the political section and a more family friendly site. I think the difference between me and some others is that I know who I am. I accept that I'm a dick from dicksville (that's the joke btw), while some others are just dicks and don't know it. They think they're some great white knight in shining armor here to change the world.

so to be clear. We should allow crossbows into archery for teenage girls? You've now peaked my interest in this porn that I posted. I've always followed the rules of this site, but if you're the mayor with a sharp as a tack mind, so be it. I'm sorry for posting porn I guess. If you can PM me the pic, I'd like to have a chuckle too. that's it for me tonight. off to baseball.

be careful now that charts says apex's daughter and close friend are abnormal in their inability to pull back 35 pounds. Archers profile Recommended draw weight Small children (till 8 years old) 10-20 LBS Larger children (8 till 13 years old) 20-25 LBS Teenage female (13 till 18 years old) 25-35 LBS Teenage male (13 till 18 years old) 30-40 LBS Female (18 years and older) 25-35 LBS Male (18 years and older) 40-55 LBS

To be clear, you know someone who is 38 and in great shape, no disabilities that can't pull back 35 pounds? Has your teen soccer star ever tried to pull back 35 pounds?

dude you basically said that we should allow the crossbow because women can't pull back a bow. I have 2 female cousins, neither of which are beefy by any stretch that have harvested multiple nice deer. I just texted one of them and asked what she drew. She said 55-60 and her younger sister 50-55. I asked what she thought about 40. Her reply was that if you can't pull back 40 you probably can't climb a tree either. which made me laugh, but we digress. I stand by my statements of 870 toting pumpkins. What of it? I still don't know what porn you're talking about though. Can you refresh my memory there? I've never received a single infraction on this site and sure as heck don't recall posting any porn. I posted my wife in a bikini once... that's all I can think of and if you think that was porn, then her and I are flattered.
