Cabin Fever

Putting the fanny pack away today and have the back pack on deck, preparing for some all day sits starting tomorrow! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just blame the Covid...

Different

That's the first time I've ever been told that! I might need to print this to show the wife!! Didn't you slam a big buck soon out of the Covid gate too? (Or am I pushing that "good memory" thing too far?)

That sucks! Bad timing!! Did you have it last year around this time or am I thinking of someone else?

Nice job Paula! YouTube University!!

My cams certainly aren’t showing that…. Yet anyways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

She has a very light cloth tail that does a good job twitching with just a slight breeze. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had a close encounter with a shooter yesterday morning, but unfortunately not close enough. I need to suck them out of the neighbors field (non-hunter and doesn’t give permission). Thought if I had my decoy, that would have sealed the deal. Pulled her out this morning, but she blew over. I have to put her up on a log to give her more height to be seen better from the field (She wasn’t blessed with nice long legs). With the gusty wind, I needed to prop her up, but I think she’ll pass… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had my doubts bucks would move much today, or at least that’s the excuse/reasoning I used to justify leaving the woods at 9:30 this morning. I was 2 miles down the road this morning when a nice buck sprinted across the road in front of me at 10:30am! Don’t know how the guy coming in the opposite direction avoided hitting him! My son has sent me 4 cell cam pics throughout the day of nice bucks cruising through a funnel property that he hunts 2 miles from my place! 75 degrees or not, I decided I better get my ass to the stand this afternoon….

Had a doe and fawn cross a field ~100 yards away an hour ago. Nothing trailing…. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wondering if the does are laying low right now, to avoid being harassed by small bucks? I saw 4 small bucks yesterday zig-zagging along a thicket looking for a doe. It’s been dead for days now. Cams have been dead too. That light switch has to be flipped soon… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At least you know he’s close! There’s still hope! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s what I was thinking… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats Dino!!

From your lips to Gods ears Belo!! I'm not blessed with having a good deer population around the property I hunt, so it's always a grind for me! So few that I won't consider shooting a doe. Being selective about the bucks I shoot makes it even harder and more frustrating. I'm certainly envious of guys that see multiple deer on most hunts...

I have 10 cell cams out and I’ve had little to no deer activity on cam over the past couple of weeks. Last night, not 1 deer! The night before that, a doe. At most, over the past 2 weeks, I’ve gotten 2-3 does and 2-3 small bucks on cam each night. Pretty much correlates with what I’ve been seeing it the woods! They cut the corn next to me on 10/10 and the deer have all but vacated the area. I walked through the cornfield, and I bet I didn’t find a handful of corn left on the ground! I haven’t gotten a pic of a shooter during daylight hours since 9/26. One new shooter has shown up recently, but only in the middle of the night. Last year, my cams were dead until ~11/9. Kind of expecting the same thing this year…. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s what I did this year Rob. I took off four 1/2 vacation days in Oct, but I’m off for the next 4 weeks. Well, I’m sure I’ll have to pop into a Teams meeting here and there, but I’d feel better keeping up with things anyways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nancy probably set the whole thing up! She was conveniently out of town… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think this buck was trying to be a wise-ass, taking a selfie with my house in the background!!

Nice!! Very cool! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the offer Otto, but I better pass on the Winchesters. I have 100 of the CCI 209 Magnum primers that Phade gave me, so that will hold me over for a few years. I'd like to stick with the CCI 209M primers, as the Blackhorn 209 needs a hot primer and that's the one that Blackhorn recommends. They also fit snug in the breech with minimal blow back. Thanks again pal!

Possibly me? I was looking for CCI 209M primers. Phade hooked me up with a box, but I would love a few more if I could get my hands on them, so I don't have to go through this again!
