  1. Full camo, I wear orange while moving during gun season.  I find I see alot of cool non-deer related stuff when sitting in full camo.  Owls, hawks, foxes, and most recently, ALOT of bear. I do agree that camo for deer isn't that essential, slow smooth movement does way more.

  2. I took the dive on 2 of these (one for my dad) this year!  Went with the black eagle executioner bolts and rage 2 blades.  I must say I'm impressed, once they got dialed in they are tack drivers. Cost about 900 to set up 2 of them, including a target to keep at the cabin for unloading.  I'd be really curious to see how the trigger replacement goes, damn thing is creepy.   This picture is at 50 from a sandbag bench rest.

  3. Every time I look it changes.  Noreasters offer a unique wind to hunt out of, and the deer always come out to feed hard when one rolls in......  and I have to take my kids to a stupid halloween parry at my yuppy friends house.  Oh well, here's hoping they'll be running around on Sunday.

  4. On the way in last night I saw a state trooper car at the farmhouse, so I stopped to see what the hubbub was.  I guess our neighbors had their trail cameras all stolen and the officer was talking to my aunt and uncle by marriage.  I mentioned I was on my way out to the stand (pretty obvious in full camo) and had my 10 mil on my hip.  Dude didn't say a word.  I get that it's technically a fine, but like many things they just have better things to do.  I do think an encon officer would probably ticket me.  I just think it's worth the price if I get caught.  I feel alot better in pitch black walking a mile through bear territory back to the quad.  To each their own!

  5. I'm seeing 3 inches of snow Saturday and another inch on Sunday!  Couple that with the full moon, the first cold October we've had in.....  God knows how long.  Must.....  get.... in.... woods.....

    According to the lunar calendar, which I don't really subscribe to, and will the chase be on?

  6. Another frigging black bear last night, stopped 15 yards downwind, sniffed the air, and slowly looked up at me.  Then it started creeping forward!  Its possible I showed it a sig sauer and asked it if it really, really wanted to do that.  It decided to amble off, but at no point did it act like it had any reason to be afraid of people.  This one was full grown, I'm guessing a female around 200 pounds?  It's a little mind blowing how many of them seem to be around.
