    I plan on using my funky old screw-in umbrella and wrap myself in an old plastic poncho and give it a whirl Saturday.

    The aging process as you mention is key with me. Not that excited about gun hunting as opposed to archery. Not that excited about the prices on x-bows, but if I have to, I will buy one.

    At first I did not support x-bow. Now I do.

    To enjoy the outdoors and challenge myself. Most important are the friendships developed over time with hunting being the catalyst. Just darn tootin' fun.

    Maybe due to work, this is the only day to hunt for some people?

    We have been inundated with videos from Jordan/Kisky/Drury people about maturity of a whitetail. The deer on the properties under their control have fewer hunters, less hunt pressure and are able to develop older deer and rack size. In areas where I hunt deer almost never have the opportunity to grow to larger bodied, large rack bucks. Deer are less likely to develop more fully due to harvests in areas say in wny where hunters will take deer when the legal opportunity presents itself...ok by me, but less likely to see big boys roaming.

    maybe get the bars of soap out of the shower in case my wife slips and hurts herself.

    "Dropped", with the Kiefer brothers. By the way, I was watching the 25th anniversary DVD of Monster Bucks, volume 1 and 2 with buddy at camp. Must have been 70 hunts all told, but except for a couple of hunts with his kids, Bill Jordan was not in front of the camera. The couple hunts he was in camera showed a much more feeble Bill Jordan than in the past. In one shot, he appeared to be unsteady on his feet and did not do anything physical like he was sick. Did not pull the bow nor lift a rifle. Wondered if anyone knows what's up with Bill.

    Leaving the legal/illegal interpretations aside, just lugging both implements around just seems like a pain in the butt. No game animal/ turkey is worth that kind of hassle. Just my thought for the day.

    With rookie "reporters" staffing the local channels, I'm not surprised at the apparent lack of accuracy. They are more used to "bubble gum" news reporting. Something serious happens and their reporting falls apart.

    Looks nice...nice size. hope you get a crack at 'em.
  15. Merlot
    are there coyotes in the neighborhood??
  16. Merlot
    They serve all this at Hogan's? How on earth are you ever gonna fit into that bunny suit come Easter??? lol

    Wouldn't want to trespass on their property, get my butt kicked and stuffed into a 55 gal drum and sent to the scrap yard...You do work out and it pays off....well done.

    The camp pictures are great! keep 'em coming. Cool stuff.

    Their wallet told them to let the kids jump around in that stupid thing. They rented it, therefore the kids were gonna use it.

    Interesting that you should mention your stand-by generator. I'm having one installed in about a week. Got to keep that furnace running no matter what might come along the way.
  22. Merlot
    Sipping coffee and had some eggs while resting in easy chair after hand digging a couple trenches for gas and conductor to serve new stand-by electric generator.
  23. Merlot
    Perfectly said.

    Appreciate your mentioning the lack of time in some peoples lives, but if a person has a few minutes of spare time, a basement, an appropriate backstop and can shoot safely downstairs, then a person can get some practice in if only for a few shots here and there. I shoot 12 yards in basement and helps, even if only for several shots a day. Hate to see deer lost perhaps because of a less than accurate shot placement. Just an opinion on this subject. Good luck to all this season.

    OK if others want to use x-bow, but I'm going to continue working out to keep body in shape for my existing compound.
