Sure...why not...I'm feelin' lucky this year

she cannot bait a hook, let alone hunt. She ain't interested...only interested in 4 star resorts hot weather and sand.

Good to still have you around you crafty devil! I once had a screaming eagle tree stand that came with a linemans safety harness. At least I had some safety going up the tree but it was still difficult to get the stand strapped in.

If I had the time, I would just assume hunt the afternoons positioned between the bedroom and the dining room because of the lay of the land that I hunt, plus I can skirt the areas of bedding easily through some neighbor farm field and slip into a couple of stands.

I am content with shooting 13 yards in my basement. Wish I could go outside and shoot in the back yard, but will take what shooting I can get downstairs.

Wouldn't mind seeing the present occupant of the White house tossed out on his ear too...wait a minute..then the 2nd string comes into the game...2016 cannot come soon enough to toss these baffoons outta office.

Looks like 130-135 range to me

Our stands are up also. Cannot wait to get hunting. Good luck!

Great set up.

looks like martian eyeballs in the backround.

The only odd or unusual occurrence while bow hunting deer was in 1978 when, on stand in the late afternoon, a hot air balloon coasted directly over me and just over the treetops. The balloon was occasionally firing flame into the balloon for loft as it came over me. The balloon actually pushed several startled deer right past me. Of course, I was busy watching the balloon overhead and was not prepared for the 8 point that trotted by that was with the group...never forget that one...At least the wine was tasty while telling the story that evening at camp.

I wonder what can be hunted mid-August in California. Maybe a cannabis grower got a little tipsy in the back woods, stumbled over his burlap bag full of oreo cookies, kicked some embers into some dry tinder and there you go...he/she claimed to be a hunter to cover up some illegal doings out in the hill country.

Wondered if you could drive to some public golf course, early in the morning, with some decent trees and practice with your climber a little. I gave up with the climber a while ago. I have had more success just creating a quick ground blind and a tripod stool. So far...3 bucks on the ground, 1 up in a ladder stand.

Just getting my feet wet on this site. Been a fan of this site for a while now and just had to sign up. Been hunting for over 40 years and really enjoy bow hunting. Cannot wait to get hunting next month.
