I love the cover but agree with being worried I didn’t close the tailgate before leaving. Occasionally I have that sinking feeling so I put it in reverse to make sure it’s up. I’ve told many of people that their tailgate was down and would hope someone would do it for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Major hurdle this weekend. The blind is up in the air. I still have to do some cross bracing so it’s not as wobbly then the roof, make the doors and put in the plexiglass windows. It’s going to come right down to the wire. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome to the forum! I'm on the other side of the state as you but there are a ton of hunters out your way and even a few on this forum.

I have only taken 2 deer with my 30/06 (2 for 2) and the meat damage was nothing more or less than what I would have expected from any other round with the shot that I took. 1st one was quartering towards I hit her in the front shoulder and took out a piece of heart. Front shoulder had some meat loss but nothing crazy. 2nd was quartering away and I messed the shot up but got lucky. The bullet entered behind the arm pit traveled up through the neck shattering several vertebrae. The shoulder was mostly fine with little meat loss but 3/4 of the neck meat was lost. Again something I would expect with any bullet being used. That's with a 150 grain bullet as well.

Maybe...

I did a 3 stud corner so I have more that enough meat to nail the 2 corners together but I'm still annoyed that I missed that detail. I'm sure the blind is way over built as I built it more like a house than a tree stand but i figured if I'm taking the time to do it I might as well do it right and not have to repair it for a ton of years.

I wish that was the case but I have a strict no alcohol until the power tools are put away policy. I simply made a bone head mistake and I wasn't even rushing through it.

I had to take a small break from building the blind to fix the camper before camping this weekend. Finished up the back panel tonight but I already screwed up I wanted to have an extra 3 1/2” of plywood on each side to help lock in the corners but completely forgot about it until a made the cuts and with lumber prices the way they are I just kept going instead of eating $70.

I think they are curious creatures as well. We have noticed that when running chainsaws and tractors we will get deer coming into the area we are working almost just to check it out. Perhaps they don't associate loud noises as a threat. We have a logger working on our property right now and he says not a day goes by where he doesn't see a deer.

Nights 2-4 while camping. Reception was not good enough to post pictures but we are back home now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great long weekend of celebrating with friends and family Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No robo calls, no traffic and no where to go. I miss having all those free weekends. I could really use those free weekends to finish up that hunting shack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How are your going to top last years engagement?

Glad your OK Chef. It would take me a while to get back into a stand after having something like that happen.

Just be patient and enjoy your time in the woods. Hunting takes time and dedication and you wont always be successful.

I'm just glad to hear your back to work!

LOL. I did have to go through quite a bit of them before I got 12 straight ones.

Are you crazy? People are only leaving because of the weather!

i paid $4.39 at LenCo on Tuesday

Former factory I assume. They moved out of NY after WWII

You don't have the hours, minutes and seconds?

I don't know who talks like that besides people measuring buck racks. it a 1/4 say 1/4. LOL FYI... i knew you would be the first person to comment. I think we have an equal hatred of the 1/8's

Maybe he's a 2-2/8
