Ill be in too, assuming its not too late. Thanks!

I have seen that stand too. Always wondered about it. I thought it could be for practicing shooting out of a stand. Either way I do get a kick out of it. There used to be one in Des Moines on 80 going East just after you got passed the softball and baseball fields there. Like right on the fence...

My dad had to get a lifetime crossbow permit probably 8 years ago. He tore his bicep and needs his shoulder replaced. He hated every second of hunting with his crossbow. The awkwardness of it, the weight, the loading and unloading of it. I finally convinced him to try a newer bow as they draw...

What do you differently dependent on temperature?

I tend to agree with the two posters above. Spooking a deer in the dark seems (from my experience) to be less harmful than in daylight. I like getting in a little later than most. If I am fully set-up 10-15 minutes before I can shoot, Im happy. I hate sitting in the dark and driving myself...

Mostly just some sunset pictures I have taken at various times. There is also one rub in the bunch that was absolutely shredded!

Figured I'd share mine too!

Awesome mounts guys! I could look at these all day and I just might...
