steve863 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Growalot, how many more days until you climb into your stand to await the Oct 1 opener?? Can't be more than a day or two? I may be getting a PM like Pygmy in the other thread after this reply. By the way, where is Pygmy today?? Hope he hasn't been used as fertilizer under one of Growalot's food plots.

steve863 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I wouldn't know Steve..he didn't respond to me..but see he cried to you..... He didn't tell me a thing. I haven't seen a post of his today, that is why I ask his whereabouts? You yourself said that you PM'd him in the forester thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Yep your right I did...and it was a pm of simple facts and a statement that if what I said and did being pro active and giving ppl some thing to think about..well then I will gladly own having a boulder on my shoulder...reason it was a pm was that it was addressed just to his comment...But I see you may have been curious about it bringing it up and all..so there you go the short version I'll admitt Steve...it actually gladdens my heart to see how I tweek you.... without ever having to address you personally...How much time do you spend thinking up little digs for me?...It's the end of the day and I could use a smile....

The only dig is that some of you honestly need to get a life. Has to be more to life than preparing for hunting season all year around.

WNYBuckHunter Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I walked by one of my stands today and looked at it for like 30 seconds while I was pulling a trail cam card. Does that count as prep? Ive been so darn busy with the house stuff and work, I havent had time to do squat. Im going to try and get some lanes trimmed this weekend if I can. Im not even sure Im going to be able to get out much at all for the new opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNYBuckHunter Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Im hoping that will be the case. I get kinda nervous when I start thinking that my hunting time will get cut into a bunch. Its just about the only hobby I have left lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landtracdeerhunter Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) More stand placement yesterday. Only 3 ladders and 4 hang on to go. Banking on this drought easing with hurricane moisture hitting Monday. Setting wheat seed this weekend. Spread fert' on week ago. Still baling straw, clover mix.

growalot Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Starting to loose the fall crops now...even after a good rain several days ago...half the plots are all curled up and rye is laying down again...I over seeded with braccs again and the seed has yet to germinate....hearing the same from a bunch of others....some are trying to clean RR tanks in order to spray water over fields......not me if ma nature wants her own way.... go for it I'm done trying this year.....

landtracdeerhunter Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Can't give up that easy. Throw some wheat in. Always have good success, but roll it down good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doewhacker Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I am already dressed in full camo and carry all of my gear with me every where I go, I hung a tree stand in the court yard of my work and take lunch there. I sleep in a blind so the deer are used to my scent from now until opening day. I have a back up of everything I own and could open a sporting goods store with all of the stuff I have just in case. I removed every leaf from every tree below 19 feet including the leaves on the forest floor. I AM READY!!!!!!! The reality is I will be ready 5 minutes before the first time I head out, although my broadheads are all set so I am doing good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that sounds like me...though I did dig out my finger tab and placed it in the fanny pack...too cheap for a back up release......and bought extra therma cell canisters and pads...clothes get washed two days prior....Just having fun practicing....also getting Fall chores and Dr. appts. out of the way...
