Which country should we accuse of stockpiling weapons of mass destruction now? I contemplate that while I ride my peloton that @Biz-R-OWorld probably made money off of.

Happy birthday!

Nevermind...he signs with the Chiefs.

Other than Miami, that seems like he's going to ride the bench or at most be in a horrible RB committee.

Down big on Exxon. I had banked that they hit rock bottom at the beginning and would sky rocket after travel opens up again but they sank even lower since. Now with the success of Tesla and Nio, I'm starting to believe they'll never go back to their pre-pandemic highs.

Thought hard but didn't want to burn my waiver priority on it. Not sure he puts up the same numbers with a healthy Diontae Johnson.

Stinking up the place is not a complete lost. Looking at the positive side, you can a complete lay of the land so that next year, you only need to go once to confirm things are still the same as this year and not need to stomp everywhere. Without a car, how do you get out there? I met a guy a couple of years ago at a hunting/outdoorsmen event that also lives in the city who also doesn't have a car. He rents. Maybe you guys can share cost, etc? I don't really know him personally but I kept his email I believe.

Stalk/scout is a double edge sword. The more you do it, the more info you get but the greater of a chance you'll disrupt their pattern. If you're seeing deer, just sit back and watch and you'll get a general sense of where they came from and where they're going. This is why hunters don't like to review their spots. You can scout and pattern this area today. Someone else can trample through it tomorrow, freak the deer out and have them change their route or leave the area entirely. You arrive the next day and wonder why the heck didn't the deer come past your setup like you had planned. For public areas, this is eventually inevitable. So you have to also pattern the other hunters too. Figure out not only the deer's normal pattern, but what they do after the hunters arrive and when their first source of food is gone.

Grampy is correct about bedding and food source. Deer are mainly nocturnal so at sunrise they are leaving their food area and heading to their bedding area. At sunset, they are leaving their bedding area and heading to their food sources. You'll also see a mid-day spike in activity as well. I find usually around noon to 2PM. This is on higher probability. Not set in stone. Also deer tends to be a bit of a creature of habit so they will walk the same path all the time. You can look at the brushes and grass and some time you can see a fairly obvious 12 to 18" wide path in the ground where the grass looks a little more beaten down then the rest.

I've been buying his muffins in hopes of gaining access to his private spot.

General common sense. Scat. How solid and moist is it? First they dry up...then they start to crumble. If you see solid pieces that are still moist then it's less than 24 hours. Better if it's still steaming. Tracks is the same. When you see a solid print and the dirt is still some what moist like it's been just dug into. Again, first the new exposed dirt dries up and then the shape crumbles. Good time to go is right after heavy rain fall. Best time is right after snow fall. You'll know everything you see occurred is new.

It's not necessarily the parking spot. For some hunters, they spend years and countless hours exploring to find the pot of gold or "honey hole". These spots remain a honey hole only because not a lot of hunters know about it. Once a lot of hunters hit the spot, the animals will wise up and leave the area. The "honey hole" will no longer be a "honey hole" and now you have spend some more countless hours exploring for a new spot. Since it's public, they can't stop other hunters from finding the spot on their own but they certainly don't want to let everyone on the forum the general direction to it. Many areas, if you drive around the perimeter of the park, you'll come across marked parking spots. It'll have a posted sign. Others are less obvious. Still, you drive around the perimeter (or through if there are roads leading through it) and you see spots along the side of the road that appear to have a lot of car traffic. If you use the satellite view on google maps and zoom in you can even see some of these. I gave you Drury Lane at Stewart State Forest. Take a look at this aerial off of Google Maps and take a wild guess as to where people have been parking.

Stewart State Forest has a ton of squirrels. I use to get a few when I park off of Drury Lane. California Hill is another spot. Early season, they tend to stay up in the trees because there's so much acorn, they don't need to come down. Later in the season once most of the nuts fall, you'll see them in the ground more often.

Not to include the fact these little buggers are tiny and won't sit still when on the ground. @chacha It goes without saying, never shoot up into the trees. Great recipe for losing an expensive arrow and the fletching will keep the arrow pointed in a deadly angle on it's way down. Generally people don't go out hunting for squirrels with a bow an arrow. They just happen on them by chance and boredom. While deer hunting, I carry my usual deer broadheads but I keep a small game tip or two in the quiver just in case.

Damn pretty much any public hunting land north of the city will get you squirrels if you're using a bow. A buddy of mine had two squirrels come in once and hit one with these bludgeon points. It knocked the squirrel out. He took his time waiting to see if he could get the second one but after a few minutes of waiting, he realize he wasn't going to get a shot on the second one so he went to recover the one he hit. When he walking up to it, the squirrel got up and was starting to wander off like he was coming back from a wild night out at the club. He had to run and chase it down before it got away. Finished it with a knife. These bludgeons are good but the are not instant kills.

Nah, I'm good...picked up Justin "4 touchdowns" Herbert and Justin Jackson after placing Ekeler on the IR.

Such a good looking boy. Sorry for your loss.

Dak should have signed that contract when he had the chance.

So sorry to hear about you mom. I offer my deepest condolences to you and your family. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help.

It's going to be a gamble. If you start any Bills players and then on Monday, they decide to cancel the game and make it into a by, now all of a sudden you don't have enough time to change your starters because most of anyone else would have already played.

Happy birthday!

RIP

Yeah...I had bad "Juju" due to Tenn/Pitt/Covid.

I have nothing to give. I have to bank on the Lions realizing they have no chance and start the future in De'Andre Swift or Miles Sanders to get hurt.
