I hate the way these dayum iPhones rotate a perfectly oriented picture....I'll fix it when I get back to my pc.

Yea, I'm in a stand. I watched a pencil rack 8 point through my scope for 20 minutes make a scrape and wear a hanging branch out. At one time I had the safety off and gave some thought about shooting him. But I hurt the population yesterday so I figured I'd leave some seed....

Heck, I saw the two posts and got confused as to which was Muddy's and which one was Bubba's. At first, I thought maybe Bubba decided to deer hunt and took his hammock! ;)

Come on down here Bubba, let these dufes watch the sun come up while they freeze ... I'll let you use MY hammock to view the sunrise here. ;)

Pussies, that's all you are is a bunch of pussies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That ain't what you call deer hunting up here. Today we're forecast to get between 3 & 5" of the white stuff, then tomorrow we'll get another 3-5 from lake affect. as the temps stay in the 30's
Real deer hunting should start to be good.

You're just unhappy because there isn't room to lay down in there.

I've been in a few of Captains blinds, with the tilt back office chairs he has in them, it's real easy to catch a couple of ZZZZZ's when the urge comes.

Just starting to get white, temp shows 31, deer move when it's cold. This is good hunting weather.

So did any of you rednecks sittings in your hotels blinds actually shoot anything or are you just brewing coffee and making fluffy omelettes?

I'll have you now that I'm known county-wide for my fluffy southwest omelets, and my coffee will float a long-dicked donkey. ;)

Could have. I had a 12 to 14 inch 8 point in my scope for 20 minutes while he worked a lickin' branch and a scrape. But I let him walk off. I sorta put a smack down on them yesterday and might have to borrow some money from Thumper to pay processor bill... :D

My buddy Mike missed a real nice 8pt when we were walking into our stands. We spent an hour and a half looking for sign before we called it a clean miss. Got in stand about 3o minutes now. I jumped two grouse looking for sign. It's shaping up to be a nice evening with this colds nap coming in.

I went out this morning and saw a couple does, too far out for a shot. Then the snow started along with a 15-20 mph wind. Deer hunkered down after couple of hours of waiting and not seeing anything else, I came home. This is what it looks like now, been snowing since about 8 this morning.

I'm in a different deer stand this afternoon....kids are here so I let them hunt the good spots....I had to settle for this one, with the electricity...'course, hunting and watching ballgames, at the same time, isnt all that bad, either. ;)

I have to go through my Direct TV Ap to watch from the stand. And depending on which stand I'm in sometimes I don't have enough signal for video and all I can get is audio.
Watching my favorite movie now.

Beautiful day up this way. Between raking leaves and hunting I spent almost the entire day outside. My kind of day.

Nandy

I find it so hard to stay up while in the stand, it is so quiet, relaxing and such... I do take my phone which hooks to my ear muffs and listen to music or watch a movie/show while constantly scanning the woods. Some stands I do have signal so I can also browse the net if I wanted to.

Cap, get the genie-go, I have that one. Will save the shows you want to up to 5 devices and you can watch even if there is no signal. It costs $100 for the box but no monthly fee. I use it quite often.

Again, you dufes are pussies. I either stalked (rarely) or set up a ground blind by sitting on a log with brush piled up around me. I'd never EVER consider watching a ball game or listening to tunes. I'd remain totally silent and concentrate on any direction I so much as heard a twig snap or a leaf crunch. TV's, radios, heaters, coffee makers, stoves, office chairs, condos with satellite dishes ... sheeesh, did I already say youse guys are pussies? ;)

All the shit you guys do in a tree stand amazes me, especially since it isn't even cold where you hunt at. Why do you need heaters in tree stands unless you want to hunt in shorts and a t-shirt?

Haha....well, Depitty, I made my mind up as I got older, that if I was gonna deer hunt, then I was gonna stay as comfortable as possible....if I'm comfortable, I can stay in the woods longer....h3ll, I can live in most of my deer stands, if I was so inclined....believe me, I have paid my hunting dues....in my younger days, there's been many a morning that I have frozen my rebel azz off, balanced in the crotch of an oak tree.

Also, when teaching young kids to hunt, they will stay longer in the woods with you, if they are comfortable....they can learn to be cold and miserable, when they get older. ;)

I remember deer hunting at age 12 with a skim of snow on the ground. My stand was the chute of an old hay baler, my gun was an old 16 ga single shot with 00 buck (i actually killed a few deer with that old gun - it kicked like a mule), and The thing I remember most was I was wearing Chuck Taylors, not exactly the warmest footwear. My feet didn't have feeling for a couple days it seems like.

Big Muddy
11-24-2015, 04:36 PM
Haha, Postie, since you mentioned that hay baler....I've got a really nice 12 pointer on my wall, that I chased for 2 weeks, back in '92....he was just too smart for me....if I set up on one end of the long soybean field, then he'd come out on the other end, right at dark....finally, I parked an old grain cart, right smack dab in the middle of the field....it took him a few days to get used to it, being out there.

After a few days, I hopped inside the grain cart about 2 pm....instead of coming out on either end of the soybean field, he was gonna be smart, and safely graze near the grain cart....one shot, and he fell within 50 steps of that old dilapidated grain cart. ;)

I respect my northern hunter brothers and sisters but I fail to see the reason to not hunt in comfort if the location and hunt style allows for it. Yeah, in most open spaces that some of you hunt a shooting from a hunting box is not the most appropriate technique. Here in the SE with all of our cover and short shots a box close to an established deer corridor is great and does allow to have some comforts so why not? I get cold when weather under 68 deg F, so you bet I will bundle as much as it is practical and in days like tomorrow in lows 30's high 20's I am taking a heater to the box (most already have one ready for use most of the time, I love me this private property....).

Captain
11-24-2015, 10:58 PM
I respect them too. But cold is cold. They may be more use to it than we are but when it gets in the 20's it's cold.
Another thing is they get like one tag, and hunt three or four times. If they hunted 5 1/2 to 6 months, three or four times a week and could kill a zillion deer they would probably set up some more comforts in Their stands.
I hunted for 30 years using screw in steps and hang on stands, in fact there were many days I would get in a loc-on stand before daylight and not touch the ground again till after dark. But as soon as I started building tower stand, enclosing them and putting comfortable chairs in them I knew my days sitting in a "ass-pincher" stand was limited.
I hunt long, hard and MANY days and hours. There is absolutely nothing wrong in making it as comfortable as possible.
