  1. Lay low and keep us updated if you can. Wish you well.
  2. I won't be going. With the bucks I shoot, they would all point and laugh as I walked in.
  3. That kind of $$$$ will buy a nice chunk of property in Iowa, or any number of big whitetail states! Hmmmm, what would I do if I had a cool 1.2 million burning a hole in my pocket??? Don't think it would be spent to hunt Old Chatham. Not that I think that is a bad place at all. Just sayin.
  4. Have relatives in St. Pete, St. Augustine, Orlando and Sarasota. All are getting ready and making preparations. Even for folks who have seen their share of hurricanes, this one is big, and has people worried. My wife's uncle lives just outside Huston and they are having a tough time after Harvey. Prayers and good thoughts, to all who have or will be affected. Six years ago, we lost our home in Berne to flooding from Irene. I know first hand how heart wrenching it can be.
  5. Crossbows are louder than bows, no getting around that. It is just an excepted fact. But different crossbows are quieter than others. My Centerpoint Sniper is much quieter than my Barnett Raptor. If you have split limbs, perhaps the Limbsaver in between the limbs will deaden the noise a little bit.
  6. Nice rifles! Great that they are exactly what you expected. Now just dial those beauties in, and go kill some deer with em!
  7. That is what it's all about right there! If ever I lose my excitement for the hunt, I'll hang up my hunting hat for good. At this point for me, hunting with young hunters renews my excitement. Seeing the wide eyed, shaky legs, stuttering voice, when they see a deer coming in is priceless.
  8. My 13 year old grandson and I hung this cam together, after brushing in the nearby ground blind. First thing he says, after seeing the pic's is "grampy, that ten point would look so good on my wall"! I told him it certainly would, and what a first deer it would be! Keep practicing with that bow son. I'm hoping he has lots of beginners luck!
  9. Can I borrow your truck for deer season? Nice pic's buddy!
  10. Happy Birthday Eddie! All the best for you today! Enjoy it all!
  11. Had mine done on May 4th. I've come a long way with the physical therapy, but still not 100% yet. Maybe 70%. But I am shooting my bow! Wishing you good luck and will send good thoughts and prayers. Listen to those PT people and work hard!
  12. Got this cam from my buddy wooly last spring. Call it my lucky wooly cam! And it is! Got a couple of shooters for this part of 4-H! And some deer porn too! If you look past the doe, you can see my ground blind in the background. Would love to see my grandson get one of these guys. C'mon October 1st.!!!
  13. Great catch! No doubt, it was a good fight from the yak, trying to balance and play the fish too! Nice job!
  14. Sending all the best Birthday Greetings to a great guy! Have a great day and an awesome year my friend!
  15. Heck, they'd be shooters this year, in my neck of the woods in 4-H! Nice pic's.
  16. Welcome! Now that you're a member, we're all here for ya! Just get out there on all that state land that's close to you. And "just do it"!
  17. Dogs have been accompanying successful hunters for thousands of years. If you're not successful, don't blame the dog. If I were to go 0 for 15, I'd have more issues with my hunting, than having a dog in camp.
  18. Sako 85 Classic in 270. Zeiss Conquest 3x9x40. Loading Winchester Power Max Bonded in 130 gr. Can't wait to carry this baby on opening morning!
  19. Last year, I let em all walk except one. Right before I shot my buck last year, I was watching two yearling bucks for quite a while. Every hunter has the choice to shoot or not to shoot whatever is legal. Shoot what you like and like what you shoot!
  20. Great vid of a great buck! He sure is handsome! What are ya calling him......sunspot? ...grin.
  21. Congratulations Cap'n! She's a beauty! Get out and get some fish blood on that deck! Wish you tight lines and smooth sailing.
  22. If I did all my preparation right, and put myself in the right place, I expect to kill a deer shortly after legal light on the first day! Seldom have I done "everything" right. And thats ok too.
