This has not been a good year for a lot of folks.

I talked to the Game Warden and he said this hasn't been the best year for many hunters. He said he has seen some old scrapes and rubs that have been used again, but thats about it. I don't know last season was one of the better seasons for me, but this year has been challenging at least for me. The way I look at a bad day hunting beats a good day working. Even if I don't see anything I still have a good time just enjoying what god and mother nature has given me.

Yeah that is cool. I need to set up something like that.

Welcome and enjoy!!

I always take my stuff out when leaving it somewhere, even at my house.

Happy new year everyone and Strick get to feeling better.

I would say using it in your home as self defense would be fine. Exactly!!! Who believes in zombies

+1 million.......Very nice shop. Glad ya'll had a safe trip and good time.

Welcome aboard.

I plan on hunting this afternoon. Well happy b-day to you.

Well I must say you look older .

I let my brother who at the time had only been hunting once in his life go hunting in my stand ( I was going to go but he asked if he could go and like a nice brother I let him, he didn't have a gun so I let him borrow mine) killed a very nice 8 pointer first and only deer he has ever killed. Should have told him hell no and went myself .

Well I hit 30 today, I feel no older or younger for that matter. I am going to spend the day with my family. My mother wants to make me a B-day cake, I told her I am to old for one but you know how moms can be, your still there young kid.

The second phase of the rut should be picking up and those old scrapes/rubs will see some action. I think the weather has played in a lot this year. Also this is one of the best years for deer due to the large amount of food source in the woods. On our property we have a small spring that runs through part of our property and the acorns are just everywhere and the deer just seem to stay in that area and only have to go maybe 40 or 50 yards to their bedding area. I moved one of my stands near their bedding area and have killed a 4 and 7 pointer. I agree with you on the no seeing a deer in a month maybe time to move the stand to a different area.

To bad it is illegal to hunt with. It is a good price add a infrared light source and it will be like a Gen 2. I have a Gen 1 NV rifle scope, wish it was legal to use, well at least on coyotes.

+1 Yeah the weather has not been real cooperative to say the least. At least the second phase of the rut is kicking in. I had to move a couple of my stands due to the amount of acorns, beach mash and other food sources in the woods this year, field hunting has not been good for me. Seems this year so much food the deer just stay in one area and don't travel far for food. As everyone has said I have killed deer in the same stand on the same day. If the deer are pressured that could play a role in hunting the same stand the same or next day after a deer has been killed. Also deer can seem dumb but I have seen a lot of "smart" deer also. My thing is it won't hurt to hunt it, worse thing is you won't see anything.

Works great for me.

I have been hunting all week and logged on today and seen the update, great job Tungsten.

I think the TWRA should stop bye your house and check your Santa tag . Just got home ate way to much and now I am fatter. My daughter had a blast today and thats what it is all about to me.

Yeah Merry Christmas to everyone.

About 5 feet away.

Merrry Christmas Tommy.

Yeah a picture would have been great. Maybe I can make a trap to catch this dummy . Don't worry I have a trap making badge.

Yeah they are just as funny.
