    No, I haven't really, save a Colorado OTC elk hunt back in 2014. My son is starting to get into camping, and occasionally talks about hunting. If that develops further, I'd love to start doing trips out west to chase some stuff. I may try a couple states for whitetails, but I don't see it happening for a few years.

    I know he didn't bother to stop by and say hi this past weekend when he was hog hunting only 45 minutes away from my home. Even gave him my address and everything. Guess he is still mad I couldn't make it to his club's shoot back in March. :poke::lol:

    Now now, Adam.

    Actually I was so hot and miserable that when I had time all I wanted to do was sit in the camper with the AC maxed out.

    I wasn’t doing well.

    Hot sits, like a summer hog hunt or early season deer, look into electrolytes.

    @cantexian, a weekend or two ago, I drove 4hrs (each way) to meet a friend. YMMV :poke:

    I really don’t think he would have appreciated me showing up at his house the way I smelled at the time.

    It goes both ways. Each of you could have drove the 45 min to meet.

    get over it and hug it out

    We saw a good buck yesterday. Getting close is the only problem
