  1. I've been thinking of a new climber.  I'm rocking a Summit Viper currently.  This might be the one I go with.  Did they mention the total weight of the unit?  I watched the whole video, and they said it was lighter than the original hand climber, but I cant recall a total weight.  I'm not too excited for the price point....guessing it'll be $500 plus.

  2. My dad has two Ford 8N tractors.  They’ve been pretty good to us.  Haven’t used them for plowing, but they’ll run a pull behind brush hog all day long.  I’m sure they’d pull a medium sized disc harrow around well enough as well.

  3. My oldest was probably 6-7 when I took him out.  Around 5 for fishing.  Same with my youngest.  The oldest is 13 now, so there’s that….

    My youngest is now 9 and he loves going out with me.  Even better when we get to see deer or get to take one!

    my advice is to do short sits close to last light.  If you attempt longer sits early on, they get bored wicked fast.  My youngest can now last 2-2.5 hours, more than that is still pushing it, especially if it’s a slow.

  4. I shoot a Wolf.  Stainless steel, with synthetic black stock.  Great gun, killed my best buck with it.  Of all my long guns, it fits me the best as far as length of pull and overall comfort.  Shooting Hornady XTP with two White Hot pellets.  Topped with a Nikon Prostaff 3x9.

    My buddy saw 16 Friday and 7 yesterday , said his cameras have been going crazy last few days , he’s going today ,we’ll see .

     My neighbor is a young deputy, sounds like he puts down a lot of deer  . Also this year he’s starting bow hunting , and never gun hunted , I’m taking him next week , should be interesting.

     Haha, actually got a doe on camera right in front of one of my stands in the plot around 7:00.  Typically full moons are a bust for me,  oh well!  Back at it soon enough.

  6. Evening!  I was able to get a clear shot on a doe this evening.  She stopped in front of my stand about 6:45, and was essentially broadside at 15 yards.  She only went about 40 yards.  The arrow got pass through, it was on the ground after the shot.  Initially there was no blood and the arrow smelled like bile.  No way I could have gut shot her at that range….anyways I find some blood and then some more, and more, now she’s pumping.  I found her just inside some small Christmas tree pines.  She must have been slightly quartered directly in front of me, the arrow entered her right side, and exited low behind the ribs.  I had to drag her about 50 yards to the path, then I hauled my gear back to the truck and grabbed the cart I made up.  Hauled her back to the truck with the Ebike.  She’s off to the butchers in the morning!

  7. First day today here in Cicero.  Time goes incredibly fast.  My oldest is 8th grade(Jr High), and my youngest is 4th grade(last yr at elementary).  I remember when my oldest was born and my uncles telling me the "before you know it...." spiel, holy crap its not just old man talk, I'm now under 10 years and they'll be both out of school, and onto the next chapter, its surreal.
