Water Rat

I remember when mine gave way ! I was hanging on for DEER life. Slid down that tree like a fireman on a station house pole. Landed on the F- ing thing and bent it. Left it right there at the base of the tree as it was too heavy and cumbersome to carry all the way back to my vehicle. Thanks for the flashback !

Glad to see you still have a sense of humor after getting chastised in your earlier post !

Good one Pygmy .

I can always count on you for a chuckle !

That's a good one.......still laughing !

I hear ya Paula , but how many people would turn themselves in if they found out their watch was a couple minutes slow ?

I'm wondering if anyone has any opinions / reviews on Scorpyd crossbows that they like to share.

12 gauge Ithaca Deerslayer , open sights , Winchester sabot slugs...........and hopefully my Buck knife.

Well said Doc.

Just look up " Vacant Land Insurance ".

You run the risk of being liable if someone gets hurt on your property , regardless of how many posted signs you put up. Posted signs only minimize the risks , not eliminate them.

Hook , line and sinker.

You might want to consider vacant land insurance (umbrella policy) in addition to the posted signs.

Hoping we can get home field advantage against the Dodgers.

I'd put my money on a 100 pound bear against any adult man too.

Tripod.......that's hilarious !

Buckstopshere.....I'm guessing you saw the October issue of Deer & Deer Hunting where your boy Charles Alsheimer wrote an article called "Peak Rut Forecast / Lunar Rut Predictions 2015. In the article he states the "magic time" will be from Nov.1 thru Nov.10th. I no expert but I made a reply on page 3 that my "magic Time " has always been the days between Election Day and Veterans Day. He does concede that there are factors such as weather , temperature and human pressure which can affect the rut and it's intensity. With that being said , if I only had 7 days to hunt each and every year , it would always be between Election Day and Veterans Day.

I keep seeing these commercials for Draft Kings and Fan Duel. I was wondering if anyone here has joined and if so , what are your thoughts on it.

How bout them COWBOYS !

Hard to believe it's been 14 years. Never forget.

If your canine trapping in an area with free ranging dogs , you will eventually catch one. It's inevitable.

I too have trouble falling asleep the night before opening day. I usually get a power nap on the couch so I don't wake up the wife.

Why bother with a salt lick under an apple tree ? I'd be happy using the apple tree as an attractant.

You got a lot of "hunting friends" !

I've never had a reason to "dime" anyone , but pisses me off when I have to nag my friend to report his kill.
