    They just don't understand, I just brought up the box of "essential" oils she has beside the couch. Probably close to $1000 sitting in that box....

    But we compromised, I wanted the binos and 3 new cams, I'm getting binos and 1 new cam for now. She isn't too thrilled with me wanting new clothes for deer season either, so figured I should just take it as a win....

    Yep. But to be fair, I've used some of them as well. My beard is much softer and better smelling now....and the one for headaches work pretty good too....and some calming concoction for the dogs.....but she has about 20/30 other bottles that I have no clue what they are for....

    Diabetes was kicking my ***. Was having trouble getting my sugar under control so had to make cuts. That's one of the things that got cut, I'll drink the occasional one when we go out to dinner, but no more buying it for the house.

    When you guys are after turkeys with a bow is it all from a blind? I had a couple close encounters without a blind last year , damn things just stayed out of my comfortable range.

    I have never tried it without a blind, if I get one early this year, I may give it a go on public land, my property is better for using a blind.

    Eh, barely. Still mostly seeing them flocked up but in the last few days I have begun seeing a few smaller groups of jakes/toms running abroad. the next few days should really start seeing some changes especially if the weather cooperates. The last two years have been great hatches. Should be a ton of 1-2 old birds around, likely to the point of being annoying trying to get past them to the older age class birds.

    Both but mostly from a blind, so much easier when filming and bowhunting. Hope to whack one with the HUD this year though:)

    I'm leaving Sunday night for Texas! Going to be hunting all week, super pumped! Hopefully I can get it done by Tuesday so I can get in some Axis and hog hunting too.

    If I miss a bird this year, I'm blaming it on my arrow builder. Not to name any names, but he is a high ranking member of this team....
