    I use the long raising straps on ladders to tie off each side of the ladder to another tree. That ways there's 3 points tied off about 6 feet up to keep exactly what happened to you from going down. Had a couple close calls with stands, but never fallen. If at all possible I get my dad to come with, even if it's just for sofa-vising. Too often wind up doing it solo though. Glad you're ok, even just a deep brone bruise can ruin a season.

    I find in my old age, all my new stands are ladders. Just put ladder #6 up today, which makes 6 out of 14 as ladders. Haven't bought a new hanger in 5 years at least. Can't beat hangers for concealment and adaptability. In the right type of tree they're tops. But jebus they are not fun putting up. I usually get leg cramps the night after I put one up from tree humping. Even with 12 + years if experience with them, still get trepidations about getting in and out of them.

    When you harvest him, don't eat the neck meat GMan!

    Wife pissed you flipped her the bird when you got home?

    Anybody have a recommendation for winter rye or wheat made by WI or somebody that's particularly tasty for deer? Or should I just stop at the local feed store?

    Once my kids are a little more self sufficient, this is on my list.

    I've got 2 of those strikeforce cams and have 0 complaints so far. If I didn't get wralled up in 4 other unexpected and large expenses this summer I would have bought 2 mOre of them.

    MF-65 with the Perkin diesel. Got it from my father in law for..... On the house.

    To continue the fun, the heads cracked! I may never let my addle brained old father drive it again.

    Yup. I think whoever said the bottom half is chewed off might be right? Fawns aren't small now and that dog is holding it up pretty high and trotting. It is definitely not road kill. The nearest road it could be killed on is a mile and 1000 feet down a hill away.

    I'm with Teddy Roosevelt, should have been the American Grizzly for the national animal, but you have to respect the Baldies game!

    There's no road within a mile man. Most likely a portion is in that dogs rather bloated belly. Yeah I get it Pygmy, they gotta eat too and there's a crapload of deer. I've found too many dead farm animals to have anything but animosity to coyotes.

    Speaking for myself, I was just happy big balls was harvested by a guy I know hunts ethically, and with a bow to boot! Would have been depressing to see him dead in the road.

    Looking at this makes me itchy to use that new 22 mag. Wish the fields we're clear sit out in. Almost as many yote pictures as deer pictures this year.

    Need to move my cameras, particularly the one. Goldenrod have gotten too high to catch anything more than 10 feet out. Usually throw 'em on apple trees this time of year. That rotten bird in picture 1, wily bugger. Way too smart for being relatively young. Date on that should be 5/29 or so.
  18. UpStateRedNeck
    Never seen this before. Poor little bugger. Cool picture though!

    Like the story, had one I named "Big Balls". Actively hunted him for a couple years, then the next year I had a kid, and we had this perfect stretch of weather during the rut...... and an acquaintance got him. But! I still get to say hi to him mounted on his wall. The neck on this dude........

    Go to start the tractor to brush hog this afternoon,........ Blown head gasket! Took the afternoon off from work too.

    12 feet to 15 feet is what I shoot for. Gets you out of their peripheral, not too hard to climb. Probably need 4 stucks to get that high though. I'd really like to invest in a expensive set of sticks, and a lock on. I don't like climbers, so that seems like a really flexible alternative.
  22. UpStateRedNeck
    Yeah this is true for me for all of bow season. Last year I bought a crossbow for the old coot but I think he took it out once. This year I'm building him a ritzy raised box blind he can be comfortable in, see if that gets him out in the woods more often.
  23. UpStateRedNeck
    I used to do this, pre-marriage and children. Max vacation time so I had to take off like 3 weeks. Day I seem to miss most is hunting Thanksgiving morning. First big buck I ever killed was that morning.
  24. UpStateRedNeck
    That the one in Latham I'm guessing? Knew I should have gone there on lunch today.
  25. UpStateRedNeck
    Kind of in the same boat, been building this deluxe blind so the old coot can hunt comfortable again. Noticed his woods time has really dropped this past couple years, he just can't sit for too long anymore.
