  1. Much like Grampy, I can, and do, still hunt the same exact spot. It's a stone wall intersection, with a pile of stones sitting there stacked up into a seat just for a hunter. Smack dab in the middle of a 100 acre white oak Forest on the south face of the hill. Opening morning, first day, a big bruiser 8 came cruising through right at dawn, probably trotted 20 yards away perfectly broadside. REALLY bad case of the shakes, and I missed with a 12 gauge. Took me another 3 years to get a buck after that.
  2. Going to see them play Miami in 2 weeks, should be a good time. I think Daboll needs to put a shock collar on Allen. Everytime he decides to Huck the Rock, give him a little negative reinforcement.
  3. Your dogs are awesome. This, people, is why dogs are man's best friend, and cats are just jackass roommates.
  4. That's hard core man. I'm not sure I could do a 14 hour sit in heated, enclosed blind. Much less a tree.
  5. Usually when I lay down on the couch for an hour, after a day outside, especially cold days. Hamstring and groin (groin mostly after moving a hanger stand). Throw a blanket on, watch something with the wife..... Then when I get up BAM! I think it's part dehydration, part "Hey dumbass you stretch after you jog, do it then too!". Happen to anybody else? Any good preventatives? Damn things tend to linger for a while too.
  6. I hope this wind lays down in the next 45 before magic hour! Been up since 3, the eyes they burn. Was all curled up in my sleeping bag on the cabin couch, had just gotten warm, and my dad and uncle show up. Really could have used that nap.
  7. Kinda sounds like I might be sending them back then for size upgrade, at least the jacket. 5'11 250, do alot of exercise, but also eat alot of muffins.
  8. A/S/L? Errrrr.... G/P/S? Is that the dude you tracked during gun season?
  9. Jesus WNY, I think you're going to be singlehandedly responsible for a dramatic increase in portable electric fence sale's next year.
  10. 3 more doe out in the field on the way to the stand. Took me an hour to walk 1/2 mile!
  11. Crap! Stalked within 30 of a fat doe..... And hit a twig. Edit:. With the arrow. Almost got it done from the ground!
  12. Trail cams deployed, put my new Browning HD on the plot, which is coming up beautifully! Wind seems to beess nasty than earlier.
  13. Saw a doe on the edge of a field feeding, around 1130, cabin fever might be into something!
  14. Warming up in the truck. Contemplating a nap in the cabin after I check cameras.
  15. Yeah I vastly underestimated the wind chill factor. Had a yearling doe come in at 645 this morning, had to get down, wind had me shivering. Holy crap, the acorns this year !!
  16. Just stopped raining, can see the stars, took longer to get up here than I'd like. Towing a wood splitter slows you down!
  17. Recommend around 15% ground fatty pork shoulder mixed in, and penzeys breakfast or venison sausage mix. Good stuff. I don't stuff, just make patties, separate with wax paper.
  18. About to start driving out, want to be in tree by 530. Good luck everybody!
  19. Sweaty feet is what always got me chilled. Took someone's suggestion last year and used antiperspirant on my feet, and it really made a difference. Usually wear a good sport sock for wicking under a heavy sock for insulation.
