    I have been hunting out of box blinds for over 10 years. As long as the barrel is out of the window there has been no problem and I am usually using a 7 or 300 mags of sorts. I have not worn ear protection either. My wife that sits with me has never complained and he hearing is much more sensitive than mine.

    That poor fella is not well. Could be parasites...but whatever it is it is kind of sad.

    I was a dedicated ONEIDA EAGLE bow owner for years. They were ahead of their time when compounds were still in development stages. My first weighed a TON but was fun to shoot. I am anxious to see how the Chinese pieces of s---t hold up. The limb cables have a LOT going on.

    From purely a safety standpoint I do think the sunrise to sunset best covers those days when it is a particulary dark or bright day. I want to feel safe and my family and friends feel safe knowing that you can wslk in or walk out outside legal shooting hours without a higher risk of being shot. Most of us on here all appear to be rational and safety conscious. Unfortunately not everyone is that way do if we can minimize injury im for it

    Hoping one finally decides to enter the picture

    I downloaded it for sh..ts and giggles. I understand their reasoning and the scientific and other data, but in all actuality, I would never go or not go hunting because of the "deercast" That being said, they tote November 4 as a "have to hunt" date. Ironically, and I believe it is only coincidence, I my last 3 of wall hangers on November 4. So November 4 is always a great day in my "deercast". What I think the app will do is cause some people to not feel so bad about not hunting on a bad "cast" day because they justified it by being a lousy day anyway. My bro-in-law did that last week and we both chuckled. It will be interesting to use it an entire season or 3 to get a feel for it.

    While taking a drive this morning before work scouting for crows I saw a GIANT of a buck in a cut cornfield cruising. Its on a farm I have permission to hunt crows and I am quite certain I can get permission to hunt deer. No one has permission to hunt this farm and there is a nice thick ravine between 2 cornfields and an alfalfa field. Sure got the blood pumping. A big bodied WIDE racked deer...one of those that when he was walking away from me with his head down you can see plenty of bone on either side of his body.

    Crows were filthy thick yesterday morning. Couldn’t set up in the field we wanted bc of the mud...plan b was hiding under 2 huge earth scrapers on another farm. We managed 22 over dekes and the foxpro. When we drove by the first field there had to be 3000 crows feeding in it.

    My wife finally got her license this year though she has not comitted to shooting other than predators. She goes with me every hunt though and sits in the boxblind or does photography of our bird hunts. I wouldn’t have it without her. This was our view Yesterday afternoon.

    As soon as the buck I shot that morning is back from the Taxidermist, we will hang the Nikons around its neck.

    Can someone please give a good tip for cooking pheasant. 40 yrs later I still can never tenderize it enough to be less than challenging to eat other than in a sauce or stew. I want to grill or pan sear it but cannot get it right. I don’t want to have yo marinate it to death or add too much junk.

    All the unnecessary time and expense in preparation for a trial that will most likely not go in full sends me crazy. I constantly wonder why the courts don’t help us help them!! There is no justifiable reason to hold out on SJ Motions. I settled my case by bringing a preclusion kotion which was granted on a disability claim of the husband/father. Opposing counsel did not even respond to the discovery motion and only showed up at motion term when the court was awarding counsel fees. I hate people!!!!

    I wonder of this is part of the Nikon lifetime warranty repair?
  15. GreenDrake
    Moog....are you still scheduled for trial in November or will you get it settled? I just settled what was to be a 3 day matrimonial trial the second week of November. Now I will have a couple days to get after them if nothing else jams up my schedule.

    Best part was...after the commotion that I heard....I texted her to see if she was ok....all I got in response was a picture of the binos….a laid out porky....her legs crossed over the shooting rail with a message "All is well...porky 0….Nikons 1....carry on....."

    My wife was sitting in one of the box blinds last year with her camera and a porky climbed the ladder and attempted to climb inside. She carries no gun. After hitting it with a water bottle to redirect it...with no success, she proceeded to use the only weapon available to her.... Nikon Binocs. She beat him to submission. The binocs are still covered in quills and sits atop the shelf in my home office as her "trophy" Pics will follow.

    I am also in 5H. I killed 22 Porkies last year and 8 so far this year. They DESTROYED 2 of my box blinds, requiring re-sheathing with treated plywood at a cost of over $400. Our property is infested with them. I hate them. The blinds smelled like a zoo for months.

    The last 4 years I have been getting horrible bronchial infections come October. I am currently on Prednisone...antibiotic.....and a heavy dose of Albuterol. Hit so hard last weekend I skipped the whole northern Muzzleloader season and almost skipped Saturdays rifle opener.

    Crows are really starting to flock up and move. Huge feeding flocks in the mornings over cut corn and soybeans. I need to tagvout out on a buck up north so I can get in these crows before the snow flies for good

    I want to say it was $75 a night...but that was some time ago

    Went about 15 yrs ago with 5 good friends. Stayed 2 nights which was more fun than anything else. Did it in February so there was not much else to do. Couldnt pull the trigger bc there was Noahs Ark of animals all together just looking to be shot. I just couldn’t do it. Not for me

    This is the first year I have targeted pigeons. Itsxmuch like setting up for ducks or geese over crop fields. I venture to guess I’ve killed over 500 since July. Its incredibly exciting shooting.
