    Congrats

    So guys between my fallen tree pic and yours, you can imagine... nope, no, nada on wind and woods. Well things started to calm then poured. Now snowing but at 10:43 I did compost at garden and checked those cams. At 10:03 right where I walked and past garden stand and the ground blind lop side had passed through..lol! Night pics also caught another busted up buck,tines broke off and part of left side missing. Will see about an afternoon sit. May the weather men get gout!!!!!for lousy predictions on wind directions.....

    I did jump a lone deer on the way maybe 75yrds from my tree. This is the second time in the exact spot. Maybe home to a buck.

    These bugs are freaking horrible!!!

    I noticed my Tru Talker stopped talking. I love this tube call, this is the second one I’ve had just stop working. I might actually use it two times in a season.
    Do these things have a shelf life?

    Sorry to hear....after my last letter to the jury dept. or what ever it's called...I'm pretty sure I will never be sent a jury duty letter again.
    I told them there was no way I'd be showing up unless they were willing to send a state trooper to pick me up and take me home. That they would have to escort me to the court room door and back to there car. I do not drive to or in the city and I was attacked in the city years ago and they have no right to put me in jeopardy. I haven't heard from them since...lol

    Well I’m up, small cold front this morning with about 2 inches of snow and a good wind shift. Pretty much got out here right after it stopped snowing, cut a track on my way in and it walked 10 yds from my tree... Good luck everyone!

    Same thing happened to me. I went home shot at all yardages my pins are set too and was drilling them. Then I realized I didn’t bend at the waist when I missed a doe Sunday morning. Such a rookie mistake you think I’d know to do that by now....

    In between wind gusts, I was able to hear a bit of thrashing that I know was deer, but I don’t see anything.
    I’m confident in tonight, I know there’s deer in the area.

    All set up in the killing tree on public, between my dad snd I 12 deer have been killed from this stand!! Dad was up state this morning and had a big 8 come in with a doe, they bedded down and milled around all morning, he watched him breed her, around noon a spike showed up and got too close, the big boy ran him off and dad skimmed one over his back!!
