Now that's pretty awesome.

Checkin in on how your season is going?  Any luck?  Share what you've seen/learned.

Nice hat trick.  Good luck on #4.

Nice shot, and nice looking fur.  The ones I've seen lately have all looked mangy and ratty.

  Amen.  I wear my 1911 to church and my G19 everywhere else.

Thanks much. Didn't start out like it was gonna be a successful hunt. Soon as I hit the woods, had to answer natures call and spooked one off roost. Trekked on to my favorite spot. Then when I loaded shells my spring jammed. Tried to take it apart to repair and spring shot into the dark sky relegating me to a single shot pump. Get set up to call and realize my front sight was AWOL. It's a miracle that I connected. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First one down. 30 steps. Came in gobbling and had a hen come in between us for a cutting contest. I won. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  Ah....got my worksites and weapons confused.  Thanks much!

Not sure this is accurate, but I think it may have been Spots who found it?  I seem to recall that whomever it was found it digging up a tree?

Yup. Single hen. Couldn't find my jake deke. Think I'll go dekeless next outing.

Had one come in and hang up on my lone deke. Probably shouldn't use decoys anymore. He was out about 80 yards couldn't get him to come any closer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Or the delivery truck driver!  Either way, looks like he only made about $27 or so off the deal, and you got some .22 cheaper than cheaper-than-dirt.

Check the site regularly.  They update periodically.  My kiddo took hers at Bass Pro last summer.  It wasn't placed on the site until just about a month before it happened,

Nikki's a wonderful lady.

  Speaking of animals and zeds....wouldn't it be interesting to see what is happening at the same time in Alaska?  Zeds and wolves and grizz.....and the Kilchers.  Atz Lee dies from starvation, reanimates, and Eivin and Eve tie him to a stake and use him for grizz bait.

  That's problematic, but not as bad as still encountering lawns that are mowed.

  Pelt it out for the Liliputian fur trade?

  Duty belt with TGO bike flag attachment!

  Gives me an idea!  We should use gutpile bait and big ass treble hooks for 'yotes!  Would need heavy tackle, though.  The release part may be problematic, too...not sticking my thumb in that mouth!

Vest with deployable sash and flashing purple (can't legally do blue) lights sewn into the seams with onboard gell-cell battery pack to go along with the TGO/HCP badge dangling from narc-jewelry around the neck!

  Not to hijack, but coonhunters are a dying breed.  Too many highways and not enough woods left to run hounds these days it seems.  Dad had 9 generations of line bred B&T living at one time once.  He started in 1943 and hunted hard until 2007.  One year in 1974 he was laid off and pelt hunted when a good bore could bring up to $20.  Our whole basement was hung with curing hides.  I can still smell that in my mind.  I bet I scraped my weight in coon fat that year and ate twice my weight in BBQ coon.  Took an old Datsun piled high with hides to Lui Heimansohn and made what he brought home the prior year working.  He was also one of the best competition hunters around...TN state champ, placed high in Little World, and UKC World...spent many a week camped with him in Charlie Brown Park in Flora, IL.  Hunted from Iowa to Virgina and from Wisconsin to Louisiana.  Good freakin' times!   Competition hunting for 'yotes is no less humane than meat hunts, dog trials, letting the hounds fight the occasional coon or bass fishing for that matter.  Hell, it ain't no worse than prairie dog shoots.  They're just big-ass, furry, four-legged cockroaches in my opinion....no way to control 'em, otherwise we wouldn't have open season, no limit, year round.  I can remember when quail and rabbit were plentiful, so I guess that just makes me resent the critters even more.  Not saying anyone should be inhumane, but I say kill every one of the damn things.

Prayers for ya, and thankful for that blessing.

Congrats Rhinestone Rachel! Dave - We ALL won regardless of your additional generosity...a kid gets to go hunting and with that we all win. And without meaning to sound unappreciative of the gift card, cause I am....that was really cool of you and super generous (your type makes me proud to be an outdoorsman) there is likely someone who needs it more than I. Gonna pm ya a suggestion privately. Thanks again!
