Thunderpole take care of that flu dude. An old family remedy that always worked well for me calls for spending as much time needed sitting in the trees swinginging my feet while enjoying blowme and cheez samidges. Word of caution, use Grey poopon mustard only. The flu can block the nasal cavitys making it near impossible for telling if mayo blowme and cheez samidges smell funny.

Unless yinz can find a Pizza Hut what will deliver with out yinz having to climb down, and walk out to the stupid road.

Get well, not to quick.

Well check out the picture (retrieved today) taken by a field cam, around the same time, mounted a few feet away from that same high rise camouflaged ground blind.

Old man season starts tomorrow. Any old farts going to do it? My 7/30 waters is ready to go. I've never done it.

I passed on it last year not sure this year not planning on it but never know... usually just stay home until it and the junior hunting is over....- good luck though to all the old farts and junior hunters out there 👍

Welp I climbed into my highchair for the first time, this afternoon.

Bout 5:45 there came a shot to my south. Then at 6 straight up, a shot to my north followed by a second and then, a third shot about thirty seconds apart. I'm guessing must a been one of them AK muzzle loaders as fast as they was firing. But then again, I don't think there is a law against carrying multiple muzzle loaders, is there? I mean hell, a guy could carry a golf bag full if he wanted to, I'm thinkin'.

Anyways, 'bout six 15ish out of no where appears my first deer and it is the three legged doe, no less. Gave some serious thought to putting her out of her misery but I wasn't sure just how high, above her shoulder, I should hold my pin for a 275 yard shot. Besides, Mother Nature has allowed her to survive for three years and with a fawn too.

Then one by one till a total of seven now feeds near my high rise ground blind which also, is 275 yards away.

Stayed away from the blind cause as most of yinz know, during firearms season yinz need a orange banner within 15 feet and visible 360 degrees as well as be dressed in appropriate orange apparel. So I decided to sit in a tree and in lieu of displaying an orange banner in the required manner, I chose to wear a stupid orange hat.

Welp, several of the deer did make their way toward my high chair then stopping about a 100 yards away, staring into the tree line, as if they were seeing some idiot sitting in a tree wearing a stupid orange hat.

Did I mention I also got my asz soaked in the brief but many, rain showers.

Gosh what memories I had, as I was swinging 20 feet off the ground, in cold gusty winds.

Will I do it again you may wonder, to which my answer would be just one word.

Hellyes!!!

Big Tuna I'm not sure I'm gonna use a gun the next three days. I'm kinda bashful 'bout showing my age.

Good luck to yinz who make it out though. But pleeze be careful where yinz shoot. Might be some old guy sitting in a tree swinging his feet.... wearing a stupid orange hat.

4:00 AM and my body is refreshing my brain of the many muscles I forgot I had. You know, the muscles required to sit in a swaying tree while wearing a stupid orange hat in gusty cold northwest winds.... in the rain.

What better time to enjoy my morning coffee and plan my day. Looking at my unofficial official "TheWeatherChannel" weather station I note the temp. is 39 degrees with a slight wind of 0.6 MPH and yes it really is, now just past, 4:00AM. I also learned my last sip of coffee turned cold and that "good to the last drop" is a crock of hooey!

Thanks to Big Tuna and others (thank you very much) I am torn between hunting with bow or gun. Decisions, decisions I'm thinking and sooo early in the morning. Then it dawns on me (not to be confused with sun rise) there's no law says I can not carry a bow and a gun, at least none that I know of... priceless! Shoot .... uhhh, harvest an antlerless deer with a bullet and kill... err, harvest a (legal) antlered deer, with a stick.

Gooder part, when using a stick, I only need be wearing a stupid orange hat!

But WAIT! even a better idea!!! Tylonol is kicking in..... Good night!😴


PS. Did yinz know, at 4:00 AM.... the sun ain't up yet?


Good luck to yinz able to make it out today.

Some good ones hitting the dirt over the past two days. Two of my buddies scored on two great bucks. 

One less mature doe in the Pennsylvania wild. One more first shooting a deer with a rifle in October.lol  7/30 waters did good. Now it's time to concentrate on a buck in Pa and Ohio.

dpms ,   +4  I know of a 17 yr old girl + both of her parents getting nice 8pts + 1 9pt also this morn. my bud got a lunker 8pt & had a coyote barking at him while he was dressing it out. But it wouldn't give him a shot. That is 3 yotes that he has seen this year.  sam
