    We had him talked into during the off season, then his wife had to up and switch jobs, move to another state halfway across the country. He became a kept man and couldn't commit. Too many changes at one time. :lol: I am kidding Brett. Seriously though, make the switch.

    Have you tried the sticks and stand again?

    No. I won't until I get a new hang on and practice. I'd love a saddle and also a stick and hang on set up.

    I would say that's a highly accurate statement. I do have a few job applications out there. Lol

    Tethrd phantom saddle and when I stand hunt I use HSS shadow safety harness, it’s super lightweight. Also get the Ropeman’s to replace the prusik knot. Best investment and one hand adjustment

    I use a black diamond image.jpg rock climbing harness with a HHS rope style tree strap. If you want this one I will deliver it free of charge, I am literally about 1/2 hour away from your place. You would just need to buy the tree strap.

    I really like it, I get cold easily and have to wear a lot of clothes, it just works better for me. Using a upper body harness is good too but to find one that fits me good is challenging.

    I'm up. Found this exit from the cover a week ago or so. Were some rubs then and there are more now
    Not a lot of cover if something stands on the edge and scans before coming out. So I put cover in front of me.

    I made my own saddle making sure I used the same type and higher kn material I could buy then stitched in triple tear safety measures. Mines not as light that said I hunt a lot of cold weather so it is definitely comfy. It also covers higher up on my kidneys and lower back support.

    So I got back from Docs and errands. Having first food since Sundays , incident, Doc gave me antibiotics for this and for the next time...lol. Not infected and I did get all of it out after all. Incident, well apparently he thinks it was stress induced. This due to being covered in them every time I left the house. He explained a few things .
    1. Nothing I can actually do because it's my pheromones
    2. They are discovering that they are becoming resistant to not only deet BUT Sawyer type products as well.

    So Spring and fall will Always be the worst for me and I will always have to be weary of ALL bugs.
    I will always be the nut job in the store parking lot fighting yellow jackets. . Being chased across a field by a swarm of ground bees. The person everyone asks to keep their distance outside during skeeter and black fly season. The only person a single restaurant fly will find....God has a sense of humour

    Good thing....on the way home I passed a pile of free stuff. It was a good pile and It had the one thing I needed. Went back and loaded up a perfectly working office chair on wheels. I needed one for one of the new blinds
    Also surprise I had a 98.00 credit at the Dr. Office...seriously how's THAT ever happen?! I'll take it thank you...hahaha

    I’m up for the evening. I have really good feelings here. This week is the week. Cameras are showing some descent bucks hanging around. Other years this has been the week that I start seeing bucks. Banking on that intel with pics

    This dang barrel over my left shoulder has caused a few minor adrenaline dumps.
