Paul on the left with Jenny. Paul was a feral cat that we Havaheart trapped because he had an injured leg. Had him neutered and his leg treated. 3 days later he returned and after a couple months he came in the house and that was 5 1/2 yrs ago.

So far I figure about 130-140 hrs

Ward don't you think you been a little hard on the beaver

What's a good buck/doe ratio?

I too seem to look forward to deer hunting the more I age and I'm 66. It can get frustrating not seeing deer but I still just like being part of the woods. I am very fortunate to be able to hunt on the land I live on after most of my life prior to 2014 having to deal with much of the bs that many face each and every year. After not seeing much on camera as well as on the hoof my season ended well with decent 8 with the bow during that cold snap and again on the second Saturday a nice 9 with the rifle. I too agree it's not always how many or how big a buck you kill it's just seeing them and watching them that keeps me getting up at 5am.

Look at arial maps. Find the closest field that can feed in. Find a draw leading to the field. Get in their about noon and sit til dark. On your way in Mark the trees with with glow dots so you can get back in their in the early morning. Get on the leeward wind side setting up high so you can see the bottom of the draw as well as the opposite side top of the draw. Put in a whole day and eventually you will score a good mature buck.

Thus was the time period when I was really into boxing... Ring magazine and all. Hearns Hagler May be the greatest fight ever ... debatable for sure.

Read the boom boom book!

All the reason to drink a cup or two Get it out before hitting the woods. I’d rather be 20 min late getting in my stand than crapping in the woods.

I was hunting with an old timer at a hunting camp a few years and asked him why he wasn’t ready to go out with the rest of us. He said “I don’t leave the house til the boss says so”

Shit before you leave the house

I have a Vinmori heated vest and bought a 10000 mah battery. Can use for 2 days. Awesome. Got one for my son and son in law. They love them. https://www.amazon.com/Vinmori-Electric-Lightweight-Waistcoat-Included/dp/B07WRCBNMB/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?adgrpid=80360624791&dchild=1&gclid=CjwKCAiArJjvBRACEiwA-Wiqq9Fljdzk_prCXcz6EtrzZXeCE-d5RHSm7q0IqbcS4RgQ2vZkYF-gEhoCYZkQAvD_BwE&hvadid=380049124933&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9005240&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=11879179111000263185&hvtargid=kwd-570744263963&hydadcr=6590_9607327&keywords=vinmori+heated+vest&qid=1575420548&sr=8-4

He was by himself.

Got this guy Saturday at 10am. Never had him on camera.

I thought it would be interesting to what dates and times we have killed bucks to compare some data. Myself 11/3 about 5pm; 11/7 at 6:50am; 11/12 at 9:15am; 11/16 about 4:30pm
