    I was on my way to my daughters house the other day and I saw a giant puff ball mushroom. I stopped and picked one. I’ve never tried one before so tell my wife if I die. Lol, I love this stuff. My family has a freezer just for me because I eat weird ****.

    So the other day I was walking to a location with my climber(22 pounds) and my pack with camera gear, water, jacket, and other junk! It was heavy! So being a YouTube junky I came across a video about tree saddles. To make a long story short I ordered one. Should have it by November 20th. It’s a Kestrel.

    Those look like a really neat concept. I put my climber in the truck before work this morning and man did it feel clunky (a 2 year old Field And Stream climber from ****s). Interested to see how it treats you

    I’ve heard no one has ever fallen from one. It is just a matter of confidence in the equipment. We’ll find out.

    First sit of the year. Hopefully one of the 5000 hogs we got on camera come by.

    Well my sit is done for the day. I saw 4 dog walkers, someone walking the path who appeared to be headed to the beach for some fishing (I was about 100 yards off of a beach and 50 from the path that goes from the road to the beach), then two old ladys going for a stroll around 6ish. Did get blown at by a deer right after I got set up and the area is really torn up. Where I was is a very populated area and the deer honestly are so used to people walking back there that they usually just freeze up as people walk by so the walkers really dont bug me. Going to sit out again hopefully Saturday by my house.

    Just smoked a big 9. Not sure but I think I heard him crash after 50 or so yards.
