Cabin Fever

Came across this site and thought it looked like a great option for anyone that hunts from the ground. Has anyone ever seen or used one? http://thehammockseat.com/forms/FanaticOutdoors/FanaticOutdoors.php http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KBWpeTnUr4

Congrats! How much did the bear weigh? BTW, how about a story?

Anyone added anything other than onions, garlic, salt, or pepper for added flavor? I have some meat to can and thought I'd like to try something different. I have quite a few wild leeks that I froze this past spring, that I thought I'd add to a few jars, to test out. BTW, ground horseradish tastes GREAT with canned venison!

Congrats! Big bodied deer!

Congrats to you both!

Sorry to hear that, especially with it being your first! Sounds like you did everything you could have to recover it. Maybe it wasn't a fatal hit afterall...

Very nice!

This is the worst year I've ever experienced. Been hunting the same properties for 14 years now and never seen so few deer. I went out exactly 25x during bow season and have 11 different stands to choose from. I saw 1 buck, 2 does, and 9 fawns (several repeats). Absolutely pathetic! All the surrounding neighbors are experiencing the same thing too. Talked to one neighbor on opening day of gun season. He said he had 7 guys hunting with him and they never even saw a deer!! I had a feeling it was going to be a bad year, based on my lack of trailcam pics all summer and fall.

Got a letter in the mail about signing an online petition that I thought I'd pass along. Meant to prohibit using EBT cards for tobacco products, alcohol, lottery tickets, and ATM cash withdrawals at liquor stores or casinos. http://www.nysenate.gov/press-release/senator-nozzolios-petition-end-welfare-abuse-gains-thousands-supporters Petition http://www.nysenate.gov/webform/join-senator-nozzolio-s-efforts-protect-your-tax-dollars

People that can't drive the @#$%^&* speed limit!!! Like driving 40-45mph in a 55mph is acceptable! When you see a convoy of vehicles lined up behind you, pull the @#$% over and let people get by you!! Noticed something common with these folks.... either appear to be retired and have no time schedule (and think that no one else does either) or people that drive a minivan of some sort!! I have a 50 mile commute to work each way and I'm in NO mood to tolerate people that can't drive the speed limit!

That's a beauty! Congrats!

Same experience as bubba with the Powerbelts. Great hits, but NO bloodtrail! Thank God I had snow, so I could at least follow tracks to the dead deer! After my experience, I did some research and found it was a common problem with Powerbelts. They shot and grouped great, but performance on deer sucked.

Great story and another great buck Sam! Congrats!!

Good God what a beast!!

He's a dandy!

If ya get in a jam like that again, remember that a dollar bill is just a tab over 6" long. Fold that in half and you have your 3" to measure with.

"Some" hunting pressure can be a good thing!

What a beauty!! Talk about mass!! WOW!

Congrats to you both!!

Sweet Jesus! Look at the mass on that rack!

Congrats! I'd love to see a bear!

Maybe make him a nice european mount with it?

Congrats! Cherish those memories and be thankful you still have Dad to hunt with...

A friggin GIANT! Gonna be sad to know that he's not out there "somewhere" anymore...

Looks like a big ole boy!
