After the Monday bird I’ve had 5 toms hang up, circle me or on the side of the blind. I did an afternoon to sunset hunt with another tom hang up. Later 1/2 mile away this tom and two hens started working my way. Once he was 100 yards away it took him 45 minutes to get to twenty yards but on my...

I haven’t been able to turkey hunt much the last couple of years but now in a new chapter of life I was looking forward to opening day. Several Tom’s were roosted close this morning and they went quiet once on the ground. This bird came by around 8:00 am and made a big circle then came by west...

After Spring cleaning this muzzleloader is up for sale. Comes with a sling, case, discs and needed accessories. I really have no idea what it’s worth 50-75$ just want it gone!

First I need to finish the 25 thread! After the Canada trip I went back to try and catch the third species of trout the native Brook trout. There’s a Brooks special regs stream that I went to and see if I could get the trifecta. It was close to 1 1/2 miles hike to reach the stream and I caught...

Future doesn’t look good for him!

I know this is hard to believe that I’m doing a fishing thread! I haven’t fish much the last 30 years but now being retired and time on my hand I bought lifetime hunting, fishing and trout license. With a life changing event a few months ago I sold the beater truck and the SUV then bought a new...

Going into the 2024 deer season I didn’t know how much I would be able to hunt if any. Things were going good so I was able to hunt during a few hiccups but I decided to stay close to home except for three days. Thursday and Friday I did the annual Halloween hunt with my friend. Seen several...

I said earlier in the year that I would post a thread on a project this summer. The shop is closed and I’m glad to get away from that lifestyle after 33 years. This was always my dream for the shop when the business was closed. If I didn’t do something to the shop it would turn into a junk...

! *CAN VOTE FOR MULTIPLE CHOICES

This is a hard thread to make as it’s hard sometimes showing our personal lives but here it goes. I meet my wife when I changed high schools during my freshman year and she’s been the one ever since. She’s had a nagging cough since August and we just thought it was the respiratory virus that...

I found a place to hunt much closer to home to save on travel time and quicker hunts. The area is wide open crop fields with tree lined creeks. My confidence was zilch on hunting it for the fourth time in two years! I’m used to hunting large wooded tracts and not edges. The stand has one of the...

Posting pictures on this site has always had its ups and downs. I have IW as a favorite on my Home Screen and only use my IPhone for getting on this site and posting pictures. Curtis Walker gave this tip after the latest upgrade and it’s on a thread but hard to find and probably missed by many...

I’ve finally decided to part with this stand and sticks. The stand and sticks were bought from LW before the business was sold so nothing ChiCom made here. The stand has the offset bracket and the pack straps and tow rope is included. I used this stand 100% as my mobile setup and was never...

On opening day I had the blind set up at 3:15 and by 4:00 I had birds all over. 4-5 long beards and a couple Jakes with many hens. The Toms were very quiet but was fun watching them. A little after 7 this bird snuck in to my right. He wanted go under the fence but made a mistake to check out the...

What will they think of next :rolleyes:

After 31 years of doing animal science I’ve found many interesting things and today was another. The hunter said from TC pics the buck lost his right eye last year. I couldn’t tell that a broken arrow was even there until I got to the eye and sew the shaft that was barely sticking out. It...

I shot a buck here last year on Veterans Day but it took a few months to finish the story after things went bad. I hunted this tree a couple times already and seen deer but it requires a SW,W,NW wind. It’s super thick with only two shooting widows and visibility is very limited. The tree only...

This year I did a couple different improvement to my tree stands. The goal is to increase the grip, limit the edges and soften the noise and to give a personal touch with one method. The early season stand was quick and easy to fix up. I purchase Slayer Tape from LWCG and cut the pieces to...
