Coffee, sausage egg and cheese, sit down time, gear ready, all check!!! Great day to go out and kill a deer! Good luck out there everyone!

Put in a couple scent free dryer sheets for 15 minutes. Then dry your hunting stuff. I don't get too carried away with all this scent stuff. No matter what we do, deer will still smell us. I just pay closer attention to the wind. But I do what I can to somewhat reduce my scent. Figure every little bit helps?

60 degrees, sunny, light winds from the SE. Hey, if I'm not going to see any deer. May as well be nice and cozy!

Wasn't able to get around much last gun season. So used my chair blind quite a bit. Very comfortable and mobile. Easy to carry in and set up too. Will use it again this year for a spot or two that I've picked out. Just to change things up, when the situation is right.

Looks like a perfect place to just chill out, have a drink, a smoke, and contemplate the next day. Cheers John!

I've seen the inside of your gun safe. You have very good taste in rifles my friend.

I love a classic wood stocked rifle, chambered in a classic caliber. I got my "heirloom" rifle Iast year, thanks to moog! Hope to lay it across a deer this year. Every time that rifle is in my hands, I just can't hide my smile. My grandson will be shooting deer with it, long after my last hunt.

Let him go one more year Jay. He'll be a more than a putter then!

My range stays the same, be it vertical or crossbow. 30 yards. Have shot and practiced both out to 60 yards. Makes the 30 yarders much easier. I want to be 'sure' of a quick clean kill. If anyone is into shooting for distance, firearms season opens in the SZ on the 17th. Save the longer shots for then.

No Dicks for me!!! I will not contribute one cent, to a business lobbying to take away any constitutional right, from anyone! The only way to make a statement, with anything you disagree with in government, happens this Tuesday. Get Out And Vote!

Intsa...what? Have no clue about any of that stuff. And my "smartphone" is much smarter than me.

Spot on. Good luck with that big un!

I hunted Mendon last year with moog and phade. I was so impressed, with the bucks and buck sign there!!! Best of luck to ya Eddie!

You have a temper???? Don't think I've ever even seen ya frown! I'd want to be far away if ya ever lost it though! hehehe.

Second guessing ones self, is a standard part of hunting! I'd never second guess two McMuffins though! My opinion, leave the stand where it is. You moved it there for good reason. Have faith! It will pay off!

Welcome!! To the forum. And back to hunting! Keep us updated on how your season goes! Good luck to ya.

This is really getting crazy. A couple food plots are now under water. A small feeder stream that we use to skirt a swamp, is now very wide and waist deep. Have two prime rut stands, that border a swamp that are surrounded by water, no way to get near them. Tractor and ATV roads are all a quagmire and mostly impassable, without creating deep ruts. Even hay fields have standing water in them, that look like ponds. All the ridge slopes are muddy and slick. Have never seen this place like this, at this time of year. Almost like a rainey warm up, in early spring, with a deep snowpack. All this, WILL effect the deer movement on our property to some extent. They can't bed in the swamps because there are very few, if any, high spots left to bed on. So they are pushed out to the next available thick stuff, to bed in no doubt. But we are not set up for that. Now it's up to us, to figure out all the changes in deer movement. Just an added challenge, to an already challenging season so far. Success will be all the more sweet when it happens this year! We are up to the challenge.

^^^This^^^ I can not remember a wetter season either. Will actually need hip boots to reach some spots this weekend!

An old hunting companion who has passed on, used to have one of those. I always admired that bow!

Bobcat?.........had one come by last Monday during a sit. Gave it a pass this time, as there were deer nearby.

Are there bonus points for getting a selfie, BEFORE killing the deer?? .........grin Not sure I'll be entering this contest though. As my freezer is empty, I'm switching to crossbow this weekend, and anything within selfie range will be shot, before said selfie!!!!

No not bullied at all, sticks up for other kids. He's a gentle giant. Except on the football or baseball field.

He's 14, won't be 15 till April, 29th. 6'4" about 200. Big kid for his age.

You thinking what I'm thinking Matt? We need to set up on each side of the road there! Why haven't we thought of this before! Heck, it's a slam dunk in that spot! grin.......

You are so right my friend! I know she has boxes of shoes, that have never been worn once! I'm going to TS tomorrow darn it!!! And will wear these boots at least once this season! Would love to pick up a pair for my grandson. But I'm certain, they won't have any in size 15.
