Bow season is only better if you like better weather, fewer hunters, and unpressured deer

Live from the airport headed to Boston. Good luck to those out in the cooler weather

really? I had no idea, thanks for the heads up. I always meant to try one by my shed

Snare them, there are some cool YouTube vids on it

Yotes have them? I thought only bears and whales had them

i have a couple, they give them back to you with the skull. Never stirred a drink with it. Because I drink beer

I'm not a huge believer in many calls or scents but I have to say I used Evercalm this year and think it actually put deer at ease near my stand. I had one sniffing the first peg on my climbing stick too

the kid wasn't sick. The kid wasn't sleeping. The kid was dead.

thank you sir

I have a great joke about a guy falling overboard. Someday I'll type it out it's a gem

On Boutwell Hill State Land! Ahhhh! I hunt there! I'd never set foot in the woods again if I stumbled across that. Oh yeah, RIP

Are you sure it's absolutely level? They do some wonky things as you adjust when they aren't

of course, and good luck getting in there. It's always packed

The wood is gorgeous, and good for you for taking it afield. Let that gun hunt!

IMO Grovers has the best wings. there, Ive said it

Ok tell us about that beautiful shotgun

It seems like 5 or 7 years ago every place jumped from $45ish to $70+, thats when I decided to do my own. the one I got Sunday had to go in, i wasnt going to be able to do it that day or yesterday so I had no choice. They also were about ten degrees light on yesterdays forecast so Id have been in real trouble

Im no great hunter but I'm a persistent one and kill a lot of deer. One thing I try to do is move around, dont hunt the same way I did the year before and the year before that and expect different results. For gun season I try to hunt in thick cover with the exception being opening weekend. That weekend I like to be able to see a lot of woods but after that I hunt tight spots. Deer wont be out in the open once the pressure really hits. I know, thanks Captain Obvious. But sometimes its hard to break old patterns and just go to that comfy easy to get to stand. Force yourself to throw that climber on your back and get into some new areas. Maybe not even that far from your old ones Im also a terrible turkey hunter but I just keep going until I get one!

i never understood why they do that 100 day guarantee or whatever it is. It's not like they have any competition

The ten day forecast has 57 at the end, I don't care how bad it gets after that it'll still be a short Winter. All the plow guys who honored their contracts last year are being rewarded this year! I'm guessing we will see a whole bunch of snowmobiles for sale this Spring

I've seen deer act like rabbits in cover, they'll sit tight and let you walk by but if you stop and stand for a while they get nervous and bolt.

I sure miss taking my shoes off at the door and stepping in slush. Not.

I have in the past, I've been climbing for a few years now but still wouldn't hesitate

You can get a 20' climbing stick cheap after season, sometimes $20. And a hang in stand cheap too. Even the cheap ones can be quieted down with some nylon washers. Maybe I've been lucky but I've hung plenty of stands on state land with no problems. If you are worried about leaving it then by all means get a climber. Summits are reasonable especially in the off season

whipped cream? Nutmeg??
