IMO set cams up on the deer trails. Where I hunt I had set my stand up over some incredibly used trails. First 5 days of dark to dark I saw zero deer. I then bought a cam and set it. All those trails were only being used at night. Obviously you already know this but I was so sure I'd shoot a deer quickly into the season just by all the trails.

February was an average temp of 7 degrees. Getting sick of everyone griping over the heat

Actually I believe you can replace them at a small fee

^^^ Exactly this as well

LOL. At least yours would send out the search patrol for you.

I have a Summit and love it (didn't mean to rhyme ) I don't kill big deer every year but some nice ones go in the freezer every year. I also hunt from a ladder stand. In years past I've gone dark to dark 4 and 5 days in a row in the climber. It's far more comfortable than my ladder stand. Buy yourself a climbing vest and toss the lifeline idea. Houdini couldn't get into that harnass thing in the dark. A couple of quick snaps of a few buckles and you're in the vest. DO NOT use a climber without some sort of life support system. Good "how to " packing the stand by Ants . I have to walk a good mile and a half to where I'd usually set it up so I throw my outer jacket, hat,gloves in my backpack. I'll then strap on the climber with back pack to the stand. No sense of sweating on the way in and freezing once up the tree. Once I get to my set up I'll tether a cord to my back pack, one to my firearm and lay both right along my tree. Now attaching both cords to the front of my harnass. Take it slow, it's a workout with a bunch of gear on. Once I get to the desired height I'll strap the carry strap around the stand to make it more secure. I then sit and hoist up my back pack and strap it around my tree and or use a screw in peg. . Next, comes up the gun. The more you use the climber the better you'll get at it and appreciate it. I typically use a red lens flashlight to get everything set up before my climb. Climb in the dark. Oh ya, make sure you don't have to go #2 before you climb up And nothing better than peeing your name in the snow from 25 feet up. I always have an extra gloves in my back pack as "oopsy" There goes a glove overboard happens.

Would you cheat on your spouse/significant other with the 100 % chance they'd never find out ? And why is my print so small ?

Nothing better than a summer taken deer to eat. Buddy hooked me up with a bunch a few years back as he was doing the same thing. I swear you can taste the difference in a browse eating deer vs a berry and grass eating deer.

Are they ever right ?

Hunting in 9H also. So from what I can figure out of this mess is there is zero change ?!

Trying to understand this completely : I can shoot does in ML season in 9H and my regular buck tag still rolls over into ML season as either sex tag. I still can use doe tags thruout regular season and ML season in 9H ?! Still in fact being able to shoot 2 bucks ?! However if I hunt in 8G my regular buck tag does not roll over into ML season and can shoot does only ?! Trying to make sure I understand this

Very valid points but I guess it's hard for me to let some "stupidity " go. Guess I need to change my ways of thinking for stuff like this. It takes a lot to rile me up. I do however think the "little Richard" syndrom comment was classic with his wife sitting in the car

So the other day I/m driving thru the hills of Rte 77 and then 20A . Double line and hilly, some arse decides to pass myself and two cars in one pass on the double yellow line and hilly area. We were all doing 62 in a 55 zone. At intersection I put down my window and yelled don't drive like an A hole. Not even 5-10 minutes later a bunch of cars and myself are ascending a very large and blind what's over the crest part of the road. A convertible jaguar passed all 4-5 cars at some incredible speed. As I crest the top I notice the jaguar almost hit a motorcycle coming the other way. I mean close, real close. Again double yellow line. A few minutes down the road I see that jaguar at a cemetery and the wife walking to place flowers. I pondered turning around and telling him what I thought but continued on. Minutes later I stopped at a gas station to get a Gatorade. When I come out guess who's pumping gas. The 60-65 year old in the jaguar. His wife sitting in the car. I pulled up next to him and said " are you the same A hole that just passed on the double yellow line and almost killed the motorcyclist?' Yes he replies like he was pounding his chest and he says " need for speed. doing 120. " I blurt out your a @#$%in A hole. You must have little Richard (not what I said exactly)syndrome. Drive like a normal person before you kill someone. And handed him " the bird". I was so pizzed at his response. His wife just sat there with a duh look on her face. So sick of jerks taking other peoples lives in their hands by driving without a care in the world. Sunday the roads were packed with motorcycles. You can't teach people common sense sadly. Sorry, had to vent. Drive safe everyone P.S. These same roads are the one a very good friend of mine and amazing hunter was hit head on last year. He was an inch from death and had his young son in his truck. He now has no movement of left side, can somewhat walk with the use of a cane and will never be the hunter/person he used to be. Without God on his side he wouldn't be here today.

Only managed one good doe last year. Just had the tenderloins the other night. My making of jerky this year had to be nipped as to conserve some of her. Down to a few packs of ground ,1 steaks and a roast. Sad

Had to stop the lawnmower 6-7 times last week to pick up and relocate little hop toads into the garden.

The Grateful Dead WITH JERRY again. 17 times in the late 80's and early 90's wasn't enough. Had no desire to go to Chicago to see the Jerryless Dead Elvis Beatles Kirk Cobain

Back when I was a kid we'd use a 15 " golf ball retriever with about a 2' piece of fishing line, a hook and a piece of red yarn on the hook. You can dangle very precisely the yarn in front of their faces. Pellet pistols as well but like someone else mentioned, too many lost frogs and wading into the swamps for retrieval always produced many leeches on our legs. God I hate leeches !

I've had good success by jumping on brush piles for bunnies and using the shotgun but probably more success on cold sunny days with the .22. Bunnies will be out sunning themselves in "bunny brush" . Squirrel hunting minus leaves on the trees has always been a .22 and head shots. Watch that you have a backstop when shooting up though.
