Cabin Fever

He must have had a good hiding spot and kept his head down! Good for him!

Happy Birthday! I'll have a drink for you tonight...

I'll take those Brownings off your hands, if they're still available. PM sent.

That's a top notch professional looking mount! Certainly one to be proud of!

Happy Birthday wooly!! I'm sure you have something cool planned for today!?

Believe it or not, I think I just saw that on Shark Tank recently!? Sounded pretty "hokey" to me, but will be curious how it works out for you. Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

Happy Birthday! Can't help but have a nice day off with family on your birthday every year!

OMG that's funny! Thanks, I needed a laugh!

Cool pic! Looks like a grouse. It must have better luck catching them, than I do with my shotgun!

Wow!! What a way to end the season! Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

Looks like a buck that has shed his antlers?

When I stopped eating processed carbs (junk food, bread, sweets, etc...), my severe acid reflux problem went away completely. No meds after that!

Apply what I learned this year about deer movements. Habitat on 2 sides of me changed this year, from bedding to feeding (neighbors bulldozed bedding areas and turned them into cornfields!), so I wasn't sure what to expect this year. Learned a lot. Will relocate stands. Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

Just because the DEC believes your area your has a population that's too high, doesn't mean that's the case for your property. Only YOU can decide. Micromanage! The DEC issues 4 DMP's each year for my area (8F). They are "idiots" to believe that my property has an excess of deer!! If I didnt care, I would fill all my tags. But, I own property and have a vested interest, so I haven't shot a doe in years! Finally saw a decent amount of deer this year, about 50/50 doe to buck ratio. Only you can decide. My son, daughter , and myself hunt my 28 acres (8F). Between bow, gun, muzzleloader/crossbow, and DMP's, the DEC issues 23 tags for us. WTF... Just because the DEC issues a tag for your area/property doesn't mean you HAVE to fill it. YOU know your property, better than the DEC! Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

Nice buck! Congrats! I use to hunt PA every year on a family property. I stopped ~15 years ago. Sure do miss it... Maybe someday...

Good God!

Priceless! Great story and buck! Huge congrats to all of you!

The deer in my area don't get much pressure, but they still seem to limit their travel from point "A" to point "B" (bedding to feeding). Unfortunately, I'm finding beds 20-30 yards from the ag fields, just inside the thickets, so there's no opportunity to catch them traveling in between. They're not moving during daylight hours, as the corn is just as available after dark, as it is during daylight hours. Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

Congrats on your buck! Hopefully, the next ones will come easier, so you won't have to wait another 8 years! LOL Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

Happy Birthday FSW, chiefbkt, and BSM!!

That first one is crazy! Very unique!

I have 2 pairs of Mucks. One is the Artic Pro and I can't remember what the other one is, but it's like 400gr thinsulate. I would NEVER buy Mucks again, nor recommend them. The first year with the Artic Pro's, the uppers got torn up, big time! Chunks missing! Even the rubber sides had nicks/gashes in them! I used Marine Goop and even wrapped Gorilla tape around the uppers, but the Marine Goop just fell off after a couple of uses! Worthless! Work purchased the next pair of Mucks. They're only a year old, but have gashes in the rubber sides and leak. Junk! I suppose if you only hunt open woods and fields they would be OK. But if you go into thickets or briars, forget it! The next boots I buy will be Lacrosse and from LL Bean...
