grampy

Thanks! That is the plan. Would be great to have him put a couple of deer under his belt, or in the freezer this year! The way that boy is putting away groceries lately, he can easily eat two deer himself in a year!

Yes sir. So hard to draw a dmp here. While most areas in this unit, it's scary to drive early and late in the day! I've had three VERY close calls this summer alone between home and farm property.

Heartworm?

Grandson and I went to get our licenses today. We both got LUCKY, and drew very hard to get, 4H dmp's!!! Wooohoo!

That's right! Forgot about our little visitor!..........Must have been curious about what we were talking about?? Will tell the guys at work tomorrow it was a monster 12 point.......lol

You're making eggs for Natalie Portman???.......you da Man!

Fixed up a blind this morning with Jdubs over to lake property. Home now. Going to take the wife to pick up a couple of things for later. The kids and grandkids are coming over for a cookout. Then back to work in the morning. Been a nice quiet, ten day vacation!

Had one more blind to freshen up at the lake property. So I met up with Jdubs this mourning and we rode up together. What a great guy, really enjoyed spending the morning in the woods with him! I showed him the lay of the land, and a couple lower blinds first. Then we went up the ridge to the upper blind. We fixed it up a little and it's all set to go! Saw plenty of deer sign! I think John liked this spot? Jdubs recently became an Adirondack 46r, so I took him over to Thatcher Park next, to show him some hiking trails. We even found a map of the area, showing the trails. Walked back to the pond, and pointed out some likely deer hunting areas too. Thanks for the help John, look forward to doing a hunt with ya this fall!

Down and dirty ! I love it ! Gotta go to this sometime.

Another great piece wooly! The wrap around mane is cool! And the color and shading is excellent. Nice work my friend!

Can't say enough, how much I've enjoyed your pic's! Beautiful! Also, your girlfriend has been an absolute trooper! Has the armrest seat kept her comfortable? You are a lucky man! My wife would have told me, "you're on your own"!!!

4x4. A good sturdy hitch. A winch is always useful at some point. Heated grips, if you plan on much use during cold temps. A mounting system for holding your bow or gun. Or other things. An aluminum, removable "box" on the back rack for carrying "stuff". And like said above, power steering, and as big a motor as you can afford. Though 500 cc is plenty for me, 90% of the time. Oh yeah.....and check back in, with pictures when you get her home!!!

Where the heck were you when I was a young punk! Way to go Larry. You could have rightfully, really put the screws to the kid. But that's not what good guy's do. You my friend are the best. Very nice job on the bumper!

My prayers and good thoughts are with you Eddie. Hoping those Doc's and nice young nurses, are taking good care of you. Also hope you are up and about, feeling better real soon. You take care Ed. We all give a rats ass for you!

A tow behind will be so much better and easier for you! Any way you can make improvements, will benefit the hunting on most any properties!

Can't even imagine the suffering he went through! Hope he pulls through. I wonder if he was using the old strap style harness, instead of the newer full body type with the leg loops? I know for me, every year, I feel less comfortable in a tree stand.

Best of luck to you! Would love to see ya put him on the ground. Then you could give us the "actual score". Not that it matters, he's a trophy regardless. Any way you can hunt higher up on the mountain, where the bucks are bedding? To be up there before light, when they make their way up?

Didn't get to the upper blind at the lake property yesterday. Gonna meet up with Jdubs in the morning, to finish it off. Will be all set after that. Plenty of time to let things soak before hunting. Plots at the farm are doing great now too! Especially after the one was nearly under water, shortly after planting. Looking forward to a hopefully healthier season for me this year! Everything else seems to be falling in place nicely.

Deer certainly love those thickets Rob! Also, anywhere you cut the high grass, like in the top photo, will be a draw with the fresh growth. Looking good over there!

No matter what he scores, that's a beautiful buck! Think you're right in the ballpark with your guesstimate of 120.

Just that one morning with fog and rain, was really obscure. I don't have the other pics with me to show the other critters, from that card pull. They are on the computer at the farm. But like I said, not impressed at all with that new Primos cam. Will most likely pull it, and put a better one in it's place.

No cows in this area for sure. We just swapped cards on this cam. So hoping we get another picture, but clearer. Not impressed with this Primo's Truth Cam 02. My two best guesses are a doe with fawn right behind it. Or a young bear. OR!...... A squatch doing a do do.....idk

We have coyote pic's on this same card pull. This is taller than a coyote. But it does look like a house cat Rob.

That is what my hunting partner and I said when we saw this pic today. There is bear in the area, and that was my first guess. But the forelegs look way to thin. What do you guys think?

Was a great day for doing deer stuff! We did some too! Anxious to see who show up at the mock scrape! Good stuff John.
