My wife’s is large, comfortable, with a woodstove and comfortable chairs. I have 9 enclosed and heated stands. I like being comfortable and that equals more time in the stand and more deer seen. The rifle is a Remington 700 stainless mountain rifle that I dropped in a CDL stock. I have nothing clever to put here.

May camera confirms that for the most part. I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

If as predicted, my cabin may not be accessible. Those thoughts were going through my head this afternoon while sitting. I did grab my bow but refrained. I hate pink but blaze orange is worsr. swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

The newly diagnosed lousy heart problem slowed me down. I will be delighted to hunt any way at all to enjoy the fall. Friday I saw a brute of a 10 point guarding a doe in high weeds. During one hour 5 other bucks cruised past. He stood up and put his ears back and each buck quickly moved on. His neck was so big it looked like his head is a bolt on! Good luck to you guys in your gun season! FRAC LIVES MATTER

To me, that's what's killing the deer hunting tradition. Nope, it's actually the beginning of a new one for us! My wife and young kids couldn't be out there otherwise. I'm the one still sitting on the log rain or snow, daylight to dark. But I absolutely love the texts telling me what they are seeing from the heated tower. I suppose it's just a form of evolving within the tradition, not killing it. You still use a recurve in gun season????? Trash your goals and plans for life. Just wing it and you'll never be let down!

Most in this country have things people in other countries only dream about. Yet, they want America to be more like those other countries.

20scout trapper Joined: Nov 2017 Posts: 5,549 West Central MN	There is a bunch that hunts my neighbors property the first weekend and shoot at any deer they see regardless of the distance. Did I mention it's a shotgun zone and they shoot open sights and empty the gun regardless. Their thoughts are they can increase their odds by putting more lead in the air and opening morning usually sounds like a war zone. Fortunately they only hunt the first 3 days. Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.
