Don't drink and Xmas Tree!

Granddaughter: Poppy why did the tree fall over?

Gandpa (me) Sheepishly: Well that would be gravity lubricated by whiskey.

Re: Can't break the heat

XB, you are what is referred to as being prudent. You are showing a mature attitude as a hunter. Go fishing! Agreed. Good on you XB. Been fun watching you grow on this forum. Myself i like to wait until there is snow on the ground. Texas snow is not typically an option but 85F is unfathomable to me...

Re: Fall Color

I love all of that color. Around here that normally means the bucks are about to lose their minds. This year we're behind the curve. The grasses in the woods are browning, but very few of the trees have leaves changing. This was from yesterday evening in the rain in Northern Virginia. https://bn130...

2022 Fall Bear Report

In a typical year i begin baiting 2 weeks before the season opens. Typically this means set up around the third week of August. This year things got off to a late start and baits were not set until September 10th. In years when i have more time i will bait off the beaten path at a back lake that is ...

Ticker Test Today

Gave the old ticker a stress test today that i think would satisfy most cardiologists for a guy pushing 60. I'll preface this by saying that my loader is currently in the shop waiting on back ordered parts and normally using it would make this a whole lot easier. Took down a huge poplar that was pos...

Re: O/T #$%* That's Cold!

So how do you enter 40 degree water on purpose? Just wading in would seem brutal. Cannonball? No wading. Just jumped off platform into chest deep. Was a tough mental exercise to keep from hyper ventilating. Wasn't sure i was going to pull it off but persisted and managed - total time in the water w...

O/T #$%* That's Cold!

May 2022 dock launch. Had to move 2 of the 400 lb concrete anchors after the ice moved them 50+feet out of position. Than had to swim out to, dive down to and flip one of them over using a pry bar in the 40 F recently ice covered frigid water. Swam out wearing nothing but a pair of heavy work boots ...
