Thanks for passing on. Then bottom pic looks like a terra-formed Mars landscape:D I love seeing the “real” places that we go.

Mine is pretty boring. Got a kick out of the deer in the background when I took the pic.

Beautiful bow! Hope you feel better. We really are rich with good health.

Not too bad yet! I do make more inane posts than usual this time of year:wink: I pick up my guitar more and wish my son hadn’t cranked up the amp and then turned it on:twisted: I’ll leave at this..what bird speaks Spanish? Portu-geese:lol:

Are they so spooky due to concentrated habitat (water) and predators like big kitties?

You believe “less is more”. In respect to downed game, I’m a stunning success on this:)

Doc Nock wrote: Paleo,

Sent you a PM. I tried to consider a move, but in the end, arthritis, other health things, and fixed income conspired to make it more difficult. Go while you can do it. Make it or break it while young enough to rebound!

Doc – got the PM and much appreciate your input. The health care issue is where any “stoppage” issue is. Life is “good” now but we are both close to burnt out. So the ? for us now is to endure or pack the covered wagon and hit the trail? The more we dissect and analyze the less we listen to our gut and that always seems to be where the truth lies, however fleeting that may be. Nothing ventures. Nothing gained. But yes, it’s scary too.

Thanks Jason. You are, as always, a great “go to” guy on this site. I didn’t even know if it was done.

Doc – yes, cabin fever is here. I have an active work week, much of it outside. Come the weekend I start pacing around looking for things to do. The Mrs. and I are very seriously considering a move to Maine and a total life ” makeover”. We may starve and fail but we know for sure we won’t have the chance 50 yrs from now to try. Lots of considerations but the overall trend is ” let’s do it”.

I’m a weather watcher due to the biz I’m in (elec utility) but dropped the ball in the last day or two. Now I see up to 18″ between today and Tues! Yes, I love the PC about now. Fighting sluggishness with the cold and snow.

Your bow is lighter than your boots..

I just use a headlamp and never have issues. I’m no fan of more tech in the woods, but even though I can use a map and compass, hands off my gps:D

Yah, Merry Christmas late y’all! Just home yesterday after working since last Sunday on ice storm restoration for a large elec utility here in Michigan. I had a s&%$ty ham and cheese gas station sandwich on Xmas:) Many have had much worse so no complaints! Hope it was a good one for all.

Very cool pics and place. That game trail (was that deer or piggies or both?) gets any hunters attention! What was that in the pan? I am not used to lots of snakes though!

These videos should be part of hunter education classes (maybe they are somewhere?). I wish I knew all that when I was just a spike buck! Froze my arse off more than once as a kid. Thanks for a great series and the sound track is trademark sweet too.

I was extremely lucky, aided in that by the fact the camera spun around unencumbered after being struck. For any interested, it’s a somewhat older Canon PowerShot A550.

Here’s the (near) coup de grâce:

I have the A540 so it must be about the same. It deserves to be shot! I don’t use it much anymore. It ate batteries like an alkaline-holic.
