    It's difficult in some circumstances. I've bumped deer already in the fields going in for a afternoon hunt. Definitely not going to walk through the woods bedding areas to hunt a field edge. Also have multiple deer in the field feeding after shooting light. I try to get down without spooking them, but sometimes they are only 30 yrds off.

    Congrats on the doe. Hopefully you'll recover the buck. Good luck.

    I definitely missed the wink. I imagine house cats could have a effect on song birds, but I've seen a hen turkey mess a small dog up when he decided a poult snack sounded great. Dog was hurting. Think the same would happen with a cat, but they are defy more stealthy than a small dog.

    A bobcat isn't what I think of when someone says " outdoor cats" lol.

    Gotta really snug the bolts down. To the point of the metal tube just starting to crush. Mine are solid. My only complaint is the back rest bar. Even with the pad, it's far from comfortable on the back.

    Lol. Assuming you mean house cats, How many cats do you see in the woods while you're hunting?

    Zero trapping on the lands I hunt, and all of the surrounding properties. Lots of yotes, coon, fishers, hawks, few eagles. Tons of turkeys. Yes there was a few years in a row when we had horrible spring weather and most of the clutches of eggs didn't hatch. And if someone did, they didn't make it due to the cold and wet weather. Easy to blame the predators, but weather alone has more to do with it then predators.

    Called in a big 6pt which is my self imposed restriction. He was 200 yrds out and quartering away so I grabbed the grunt tube and gave him a loud grunt to get his attention. Stopped him in his tracks. One more softer grunt, and he was on a string. When he was 45 yrds out, a spike pushed a doe into the field, and he switched directions to run him off, and chase the doe out of the field.

    Until the alarm goes off on the next day you hunt. That's when it hurts.

    Welcome. What areas do you hunt?

    My rooster starts about the same time. He's loud as hell even though the coop is 40yds from out bedroom window, and there obviously closed this time of year.

    My nephew Kayden had a hunt he'll never forget. Had a monster (his words) come running in chasing two doe just a few yds from his ground blind. Buck circled around around 6pm( legal in our area was 6:12), but still rather dark. Could see the buck in the xbow scope,but miss judged the distance. Shot under him.

    I knew someone would have some insight on it's use. What do you think a fair price would be?

    Humm. No pic. Let me try this again..

    This is the barn of what was a sheep farm. New owner wants stuff cleaned out. I know it's used for sheep, just don't exactly know what for. Looks like it clamps them so they can't get loose.. Hate to scrap it if it's something someone might want. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Push him my way please.

    Good luck everyone. Looking forward to the successful pics.

    Definitely a big bear. I'm in the 350 to 400 club.

    I bought two last week. Jaws work fantastic. IIRC the jaws will fit a 18" tree. I didn't bother with the traditional cross straps when setting up the second one.

    Killed most of my deer in the afternoon. But in fairness, I don't do morning hunt nearly as often. Large fields with small blocks of woods makes getting in without everything around knowing difficult at best.

    Got My Hitlister

    Awesome buck. Congrats.

    Yrs ago I knocked my rifle out of the tree. Happened to be a basketball sized rock under me that I was sure the rifle was good to smash into. Luckily, the stock hit a limb a few feet from the ground and spun the rifle so the barrel stuck in the ground. I counted my blessings and went home and cleaned 6" of mud out of the barrel.

    It's already 29°. I'm not a morning hunt guy at all. Might have to rethink that if my mutts get me up early enough.
  24. mowin
    Ours really don't either, but that doorbell fools them every damn time.
  25. mowin
    Yes, thats one of them. It's incredible how it fools them every damn time.
