I think it’s about time to let my cracked fingers start healing

Great buck, Greg! Congrats.

 

Thanks, gang... appreciate the nice words, FOP... they're much appreciated.

Like I was telling Crick earlier when we were chatting, I'm looking forward to easing the throttle back a bit... been a long season.

 

Congrats on another fine buck.

 

That is a beautiful deer, congrats Greg.

 

Congrats Greg, that is a beautiful buck.

 

Congrats on a great buck Greg !! It's been a few years since I last trapped. My hand actually dry out when trapping and never had a problem with hunting. Water sets/ice sets are nasty on them. I hate wearing rubber gloves even for land sets but it is a must.

Good luck trapping !!

Well well Greg, congratulation's on a great looking buck!! I'd say you earned that buck and then some from all the time In stand this year!! Well done sir!!!

 

A salesman complaining about "cracked fingers". LOL!

Now I've heard everything.:D

Congrats on another buck Greg. Looks like a pretty good one.

Did you get him near the standing corn? Was he alone or dogging a doe in it? Just feeding?

Even though I'm done.. like to know these few details for the next year we have corn standing in LATE November.

Had enough of that standing corn bs!

 

Congrats Greg, ive always enjoyed reading your stuff here and elsewhere.

 

Thanks, Simon... much appreciated.

Yeah Mike, I was telling Buckeye on the phone today that I didn't want to sound like a .. well, you know ... but darnit, the cracks in my thumbs are DEEP by this time of year, LOL! Every time I think one of the cracks is about healed, it'll split wide open the next day. :D

Took a couple pics out in the field, but I was actually pretty deep back in the woods when I got this guy... found a series of scrapes bordered by a few rubs leading into some very thick stuff. I went in as deep and tight as I dared... actually jumped a doe out of her bed on the way in, but she bounded away in a direction that I wasn't too worried about as I pressed on in. This guy showed up after a very aggressive and loud rattling and calling session about an hour after daylight. The MX-3 left the biggest blood trail I'd ever seen so far until he piled up about 75 yards away.

 

Well thats no good. I was hoping to learn a little something about hunting standing corn. Stuff messed me up this year.

Congrats on the buck anyway. Great deer.

 

Thought the "playa" was the expert on standing corn.

Nice deer Greg. Cool to hear that rattling still working this time of year.

 

Nice buck!

 

Nice buck Greg. Congrats!

 

Nice buck Greg.
If that's not a look of satisfaction on your face, I don't know what is. Congrats.

 

Very Nice Buck Greg! Congrats! You can tell me the story again at the ATA show..hopefully your hands will be healed enough for me to shake your hand and congratulate you in person.

I know how painful those cracked fingers can be as i get them every winter as well, but not from the scent free soaps. Just from washing my hands constantly due to the work I do.

 

Great deer and great job. Congrats

 

Great buck Greg, congrats!

 

Geez Rob, you ever heard of Photoshop? Just sayin...:D

Congrats on a fine buck and a great story Greg...:D

 

When my fingers crack that bad I put Neosporin (or equivelent) on them and then cover with a bandaid. This helps them heal pretty fast and relieves the burning sensation.
