    Like the DD option. I know they will pressure me into drinking but the rut is here and I have to stay strong!

    Just drink water. I know it's boring, but you'll be there for support and can still make it to the stand in the morning. Designated driver.

    I’ve been following along this thread since the beginning. Our season started back in the beginning of September and I’m happy to say I can finally contribute to the “live” part. [​IMG]

    Ok guys so I am going out tonight and I will try to go to the lease this weekend. Here is my problem. How do I explain to someone who doesn't know that I hunt that I am going away for the weekend and will not have signal? Basically, I'm asking for what excuses I can come up with that would legitimately work. Still having to think about what I'm gonna say when I'm gone for a week with no signal for my elk trip. Yikes, it shouldn't be this stressful but it is.

    You tell them... "I'm going hunting and will not have service."

    You're young, you'll find the right one. If they don't trust you, move on. I was 36 before I found the right one. Now I can't keep her from wanting to hunt with me. :lol:

    This - 100 percent. The truth is always the best and most intelligent option.

    In my stand until dark or the wind blows me out. Not my best setup, but I wanted to save the the best for this weekend.
