Hat or vest. I usually wear both but yesterday and today it was just a hat. Today is the ball cap because I'm facing east and it helps keep the sun out of my eyes.

They know man. If they are on the list of edibles they make themselves scarce. If they know they are safe they will taunt you from the tree you're in or by.

That was a fun 10 minutes. Heard a pack of coyotes light up. Sounded like 50 yards out, usually meaning 150 or so with the thinner air and sound traveling different. Nope. They ran past me at about 70 yards. I counted 5 for sure but think 6 or 7.

Barred owl, crows and...... actually hearing turkeys.

Someone mentioned a sauna. Wanna trade?

Been sitting here for 20 minutes, sky is just starting to lighten. I was gonna walk around today but here I am parked in my chair.

Just had a grouse fly down and land in the thick stuff in front of me. Been year's since seeing one of those in the woods. Woodpecker was making a racket in the trees above me for about an hour. Little sucker had some rhythm and deserves a record deal.

Much warmer this AM, 35. Hoping the 25-06 gets to breathe fire

I found @wolc123 honey hole while hiking a local lake.

Packing it up for the morning. If the wife doesn't have plans might hit West Canada Lake for a still hunt later.

Busted out the toe warmers.

We definitely hunt the Dacks very differently. I don't hunt any volleyball courts.

I'm in and decided to try and sit the same spot I was in yesterday. I had a doe go full kamikaze and run right towards the front of my wife's truck driving back in here then she turned quick and ran past me. 25* and clear sky so far.

I'm in and sitting. Using a glove to keep the breech dry.

If I'm walking around on any public land the orange vest is on . Usually if I'm sitting as well. You hunt private land so you won't have anyone else around. I don't care if there was a law or not, orange is on when I hunt public land. Been sitting here for 40 minutes waiting for the rain to stop. Looks like I'm getting wet.

Pee break and photo op.

Time to put a few boot miles on in the ADK's.

I'm taking Tabasco up to the cabin, the same stuff I use as general hot sauce at home. If I'm making wings, it's a Franks base now for the flavor, usually the hot buffalo for others, for me, it's a base of the extra hot then I add chili pepper flakes and a couple other hot sauces ranging from Dave's to ghost/scorpion pepper. Been backing off lately on my heat, stomach doesn't like too much anymore.

SZ- 11/5-11/20. NZ-Most likely a wee bit of chasing already going on. Perhaps the guys who've been up there can say what they are seeing.

People camping on state lands that have active hunting going on

What state forest is it? Just about the only places you cannot camp on state land are WMA's, unless the land clearly states no camping. Was the tent set up on a dedicated primitive camping site? A link to the land from the DEC site would help, as then we could all see the icons for what's allowed on that land and what isn't. -
Are you planing on getting camo clothing to match the chair? I tried one of those chairs with the arms about 8 years ago and hated it because the arms got in the way of trying to rotate into a position to get a shot. If I had been able to move into position right, I wouldn't have eaten tag soup that year. That was with a rifle, I didn't like them for archery when I was trying to practice sitting in it.

I would put some low-cost padding and carpet on the floor for a little insulation. If you're not fussy about the color, you might get that stuff below or close to $100. For heat, maybe a kerosene heater? Portable electric heater? EDIT. Read it wrong. Any way to insulate the under side of the floors?

I don't think those little blue pills are designed for hunting. If you haven't checked in after 4 hours, should we call 911? Good luck to everyone out there this morning. Have to pack the hunting clothes, ML stuff, drop some stuff off at the inlaws, dig out the pups orange vest, and a bunch of other things to get done today.
