  1. No hunting tonight as the weather was pretty nasty, but I did get out real quick to make a 2nd horizontal rub from a pine branch. This one went up quickly as I used 2 trees vs having to bury a post.This is right next to an annual scrape and licking tree. The scrape just got opened up too! It's finally on boyz!!
  2. Just stepped out to test the air. Far too warm for hunting. Tomorrow looks crappy. Looks like Wednesday at the earliest for me. I will probably wait for Friday evening however.
  3. I was regularly hitting deer when I had a red car also. 2 grey cars since, no deer hit thus far
  4. Short sit tonight with no deer sighted. Although a cam pull is indicating a lot more movement around my late Bow season stand at the other end of the property, mostly doe. But the doe will bring in the big boys soon enough. Best attractant money can't buy. I was strapped in for the first time tonight however!
  5. I might be giving my Summit Pro its first run this evening. Gonna check cams first tho and check for Buck sign.
  6. Pretty obvious that war is inevitable at this point. The left always turns to bullets once the ballot box stops giving them the power they crave

  9. Sounds like you need a Papist style horizontal, resin, sap based rub my fren
  10. Statistically tho Black bear kill more than Brown Bear due to proximity
  11. She was recommended to have a rabies shot simply because she got bear blood on her. Is this something bear hunters do as a matter of course??
  12. You just need to follow the sign. This means you will be moving stands every year to wherever the rub lines and scrapes are. Movement patterns change year to year in the woods I find. If you have natural pinch points, obvious creek crossing points etc, you could keep a semi permanent set-up near those. I have one such stand. All the others get moved regularly
  13. I imagine the scent crushing aspect of this garb is minimal. Certainly something is getting crushed
  14. Would love to try beetles myself
  15. Suffice to say the model on the right requires a heat seat for comfortable use. Do not neglect this area when using bug spray also
  16. 69 degrees forecast by 7am tomorrow. No need to set the alarm tonight. Don't feel to need to gut deer in 80+ degree weather. Think I'll wait for Friday evening in fact. Temps back to normal by then
  17. Woods hunting is tough. I dream of a field edge myself. And yet, most years, eventually something decent comes along. This year I need 4 yrs or better. No interest in the babies this year. I am preparing for disappointment but I know a younger animal will not cut the mustard for me in terms of my head-space this year. A really really great 3 year ole might get a look in toward seasons end. I am more looking forward to getting my nephew on his first deer tho.
  18. Lovely morning in the stand this am. No Monarch Bucks wandered by sadly. There is a new rub right by the stand however and there was a strong whiff of Buck in the air this morning. I did receive my summit tree harness in the mail however. I hate wearing the things but I figure the discomfort and inconvenience is probably worth it. I will be messing about with that during the afternoon sit.
  19. Love McGregor. He brings color and vitality to what could otherwise be a very tiresome sport to watch with all that rolling around and tickling on the floor. Hopefully there will be a re-match.
  20. Precisely. I really fatigue in the warmer weather. Can go all day in the cold.
