    Why I'm getting more and more leary of trees. I hear guys saying they are tree surfing and I cringe. Looks like I have to get the chainsaw out before I can use my main trail. 73 acres and they don't seem to be able to miss my trails..LOL
    Not sure if that top is the second one that woke us last night.

    "Hands at shoulder width"
    As in Superman (arms forward) or hands towards feet?

    Some people pay for this. But they call it hinge cutting.

    usually I avoid cat memes, but this one seemed appropriate

    this is the stuff that happens when I am couch-ridden, supposed to be working from home, but my work laptop is way over there. And by way over there I mean the next room.

    ooppss good question ! As in a push up. I was sceptical but it really works.

    What it's called is a press up extension. So search that and you will find a bunch of videos to show you just what to do and how long.

    It is called a Cobra if you keep your hands down by your hips, Superman if arms are extended in front of you. Either will probably help, Superman will be harder.

    Settled in. About 80 yards off inside corner of winter wheat field, good cover and acorns all around. Wind is better for kiteboarding than hunting blowing at 20+.
    Let’s do this.

    Was able to get out in the rain and get a stand hung, if the deer do the same thing they did on Saturday they will be within 10-15 yards! Only about 12 feet off the ground but the tree has a ton of cover

    Get ready guys, 10 days and I blow this ***** up.

    I got some pent up ranting waiting to be unleashed.

    These crisp mornings are relentless, hoping the leaves are falling like..... well, leaves.

    If a doe presents a shot on my first two sits, I'm taking it. No more waiting for the buck unless I have a visual or it's Nov. 7th or later, which happens to be my 3rd sit :lol:

    Foresaken this thread I have not....
