That looks like in the wind you will be replacing it.

No clue.  I have yet to see it in the store, but the reviews are solid.  Hate to suggest something I haven't personally used and abused so this is nothing more than a 'check it out'.

On a side note does anyone make a decent tree umbrella? I'm on my 3rd one in 2 years I have tried the ameristep and field and stream both broke and I broke another one this morning.
 

I have duck taped my Hunter's Specialties umbrella to a bow hanger. The original plastic holder was garbage and broke. Seems a sturdy setup now

I bought one of those battery packs that you plug into it when it's dead. Mine is from radio shack but similar to this. I leave it right in my pack warm or cold it has worked great. I charged mine last season didn't use it and had to use it this season, didn't think it would have a charge and was only down one light. Well worth it in an emergency.

And Iphone batteries CAN be replaced for IIRC $50

depending on the age of the phone that $50 is better spent on a new one. just my opinion.

Since I'm gun hunting I was hoping for a quick kill then I could just float him out

that's an interesting thought. i'd wash out the cavity good after a float through the swamp  haha

Just had a rack buck chase 2 does by at 30yds.

On a side note does anyone make a decent tree umbrella? I'm on my 3rd one in 2 years I have tried the ameristep and field and stream both broke and I broke another one this morning.

Used one from hunter specialties yesterday.....it was awesome....but can see it getting tore up if I try to use it in high winds. But it deff did the trick and made my sit in the light rain alot nicer.

This rain may have had them laying low all night and once it stops they will be up to feed and look for does. If it lets up later this am or early afternoon, it might be a golden time to be out there, so keep an eye on the radar, sharpen your knives and be ready to head out.

Blue sky a bit of sun... go to mailbox thinking time to go out. Hit road and got drenched all the way back to house...LOL it was like ma nature said ..."Ohhhhh... no you don't!"

[greg54]

squirrels running around now and a mosquito buzzing my ear now. Thats about the only activity so far.

I tapped out at 9:00. It would pour, then ease up like it was going to stop, then pour like hell again a few minutes later. Never went more than 5 min all morning with a break in showers. No way I would have felt comfortable shooting one or blood trailing with these downpours.... Screw it. I'll go dry out, get a hot meal, then get back at it this afternoon.

We don't gut until we clear the swamp.  Drag and then field dress.

of course, but hopefully there's a hole or 2 somewhere in the cavity... nothing seeps in?

Never had an issue.  But we are selective about what we shoot in here.  More work for sure.   Only certain areas in the cattails are standing water.

Just had bb and sister come up and eat the bushes I am sitting in. Cool

[moog5050]

Well rain finally stopped.   I couldn't be more wet if I sat in the shower this morning.  My pockets have puddles in them.  Should be a comfortable rest of the day.  Lol

[biggamefish]

Nothing just nothing I even ste an apple to draw them in!  New stand tonight. At least it will be a change of scenery.

On the hill close to home, or PR?  We just pulled some cards a day or so ago, not far from you, that showed activity slowed down in the last few days. What bucks we did see on cam were mostly still at night. But things could pop at any time now. All it takes is one hot doe! Good luck and I'm there if you should need any help.

Cal today.  Just spent 45min moving a stand.  Hope the bucks planned to show this afternoon.

Lived on a farm out that way and have friends that owned farms there...in fact one particularly big horse farm...Some GREAT hunting out that way.

[BizCT]

[mlammerhirt]

When they start to fall....it will be in piles....we are on the cusp of the big boys starting to be roaming during daytime hrs.

If you mean Caledonia, yep it's pretty good.  Not the volume of mendon but big deer
