Cabin Fever

I inherited a .220 Swift. Can’t tell you how many deer this thing has killed in the first 2 generations (Relax, in PA)! Don’t think I’ve ever seen one go beyond ~75 yards after being hit by one either. Lungs are jello! I knew women that used .220 Swifts every year too. Of course, there are better options out there for deer, but a 22-250 is fully capable if hit in the right spot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got a video of a couple of bucks sparring earlier this week. Won't be long!!

The pics I posted from him in 2020 were taken 120 yards from my house! LOL

I've been wondering where this buck has been, as I haven't had him on cam since January. I was very happy to get a cell cam notification a couple days ago with pics of him! Just seeing the shape of his rack, I figured it was him, but he notch in his ear was a giveaway though! I went back to my January pics and zoomed in and could make out the notch.

Happy Birthday!

Luna and Kunox look jacked and ready to go!!!!

Up until 4-6 weeks ago, we had 7-9 squirrels at a time at our birdfeeder. Since then, not one! My wife has been commenting about not seeing any. I told her when I'm out checking cams in the woods, there's nut hulls all over the ground, so they just shifted their food source. I've been seeing a couple at the back of the yard in the walnut tree and carrying walnuts off, but they have no interest in the birdfeeder anymore.

Happy Birthday Bill!! Happy Birthday doebuck1234!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another beauty of a mount!

Does the blaze orange need to be on the "outside" layer? Asking for a friend...

You pretty much nailed it! I stopped trapping 30+ years ago for those exact reasons AND it interfered too much with bow hunting! LOL I’m thinking about trapping again, purely for predator control. I can hunt and trap out my back door now, so it wouldn’t be such an inconvenience and so time consuming running around to check traps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's surprising! The hands on is a great opportunity to speed up the learning curve for those wiley critters!

I am wayyyy behind this year! Should have had everything done by now! Feeling the pressure, I over did it with my right arm and wrist 2 weeks ago and F'd it up pretty good. The doc says it's not broke, but sprained. In a splint and taking it easy. That's what I get for procrastinating!! This week and weekend is shot, as my son is getting married on Saturday. That leaves me with one weekend to get everything done. Still need to put up at least 2 more stands, trim stands, shoot new broadheads, and get things together. I'm not gonna sweat it too much if I'm not done by 10/1 though, as I haven't gotten any good prospects on cam in the past month.

Nice bucks! That first ones a beauty! WOW! Hope you're healed up in time to get after them!

I say go for it!! Then again, I'm impatient, especially this time of year and can hardly wait 10 days to check...

Hey @moog5050, how about an update on T? Hope his treatments did the trick and the young man is on his way to recovery!

I've been toying with switching to a single pin for years! My bow is a flat shooter that is good out to 30 yards with one pin anyways. In 35+ years of bowhunting, I've never shot a deer beyond 25 yards though. Someday, I'll probably go to a single pin though....

Very nice! That'll help motivate you to get out of bed this fall!
