I was supposed to send that message at 430. It never sent. Nothing came through after that. Trying to warm up now with my 2nd lg wendys chili.
Well that was an exciting night. No shooting. Saw 20+ deer. 4 little bucks. Had a 2.5 yo 8 pt chase a nice doe to me in the woods. 7 yards away - facing towards me. Thought about shooting her when she picked up her head and looked back. He chased all but a doe and 2 fawns to the north end of the field. Hoping to get a shot at the doe, but a little 6 chased the doe and a fawn north. It was nearing dark. With a fawn 20 yards away, I climbed down. The fawn never stopped eating. It watched me unhook my bow and walk away! I think I got out of there with nary a deer noticing. Fun night!
Had about 5-6 does 55 yards away close to quitting time. I was able to climb down and they walked to the field. I got to the field and I headed to opposite way they stayed in field. Good sit. hey LC I have used the hook to hook my rattling horns to bring back up to me after they fell to the ground. I have a 2 ft rope tied to them that I hooked.
A long time ago I dropped one of my gloves, which I rely on when it's cold, since I have white finger syndrome. I didn't want to disrupt the area climbing down and back up since it was during the rut. So, I tied two screw hooks cross wise to my pull rope, lowered it, snagged my glove, and gently pulled it back up to me. Any port in a storm!
Dude....raynauds (white finger syndrome) sucks! Have you found anything that gives you any relief? It's misery....
Yes, stay out of the cold. Seriously though, if gloves aren't enough, I'll use hand warmers. Sometimes they're the only thing that keeps me on stand.
I got Raynauds Syndrome from many years running chainsaws doing tree work (vibrations), two bouts with frostbite, and smoking ciggs since I was 16 years old. There was no way I wasn't going to get it. I could have worse problems at 68.
My rope for my bow untied when I started pulling it up one time. It was a difficult tree with the climber and no way I was going back down. I tied on one of my rattling antlers, lowered it down and hooked my bow with the browtine. It was a huge risk buy I pulled that baby up 25', I was quite proud of myself
yes, but three holes with that one arrow. That'll have to do. (these are the actual holes caused by the broadhead- no doctoring or extra cutting. Entry was bigger than a golf ball and the exit almost as big.) Entry and shaft re-exit on the entry side: Broadhead exit: When the arrow exited her, it stuck in an oak stump and she took off with half the arrow sticking out of her on the exit side and that bent the crap out of the half-out and snapped the shaft with appx. half the shaft left, half of that outside her and the other half in (including the fletchings.) She took off at 100mph then took the header off the bluff, she smashed into another oak that jabbed the shaft back inside her body and out a new hole next to the original entry. I was using arrows fletched with NAP Quick Fletch which are basically heat shrink tubes, so that pushed back up the shaft inside the body. Damndest thing I ever saw. 3 holes, one arrow, one dead deer. She was dead inside 50 yards and 10 seconds.
I just got in the stand. Windy here and it just quit raining. So at least I didn't sound like I was walking on cornflakes the whole way in. We'll see what the morning brings. Good luck to anyone else who is out. Sent from my SM-S916U1 using Tapatalk
