The mention of lack of sleep, man, that’s the tough part! Nobody gets enough anymore to begin with…I save up vacation time for this part of the year and I come back to work exhausted and I feel like I’m sleeping in!

The one up there about wolves……great:? Mostly me, myself and I in the NW Wi. Woods in a month. Gotten a glimpse or two up there and certainly howling. I like being at the top of the food chain not being digested:)

My 2 cents (and in judgement on no one) is preserve hunting is another one of those things crawling around under the Capitalist log. That’s not an anti-system statement either – roll over any system and there are it’s decay organisms. Challenging hunts build character, too much missing in this age of rampant consumerism.

in reply to: What are your plans? #29515

Around home most of October then to the Upper Peninsula of Mi. for a week vacation with the bow. Day after Thanksgiving I’ll leave for the hills of western Ma. where I’m from and hunt a week with my. 54 muzzleloader- my one concession to firearms:D In that low deer density area I’m glad to have it.

I found a bow quiver using the rubber tension bands will slide with the limbskins. I ended up putting a light coat of camo paint on my Bear Grizzly after much internal debate.

I was looking around a spot thinking what a place to hunt ! Looked down at my feet into a log skid mark and there lied a perfect stone arrowhead. The passage of hundreds or more years just disappeared in that moment.

All I know is I shoot split finger and trying 3 under after 45 years feels like going to work in my underwear!

I couldn’t find the wasp killer, then thought I did – but it was a can of oven cleaner. Well, I thought this is nasty, and sure enough it drops them as fast as lightning. Probably not too good for a lot of surfaces but it worked on the wasps.

in reply to: Why do you hunt #10766

I think because I grew up in a place and time where it was accepted. That, and it’s just a natural thing when kids aren’t tampered with:) And for me I’ve always been a sucker for scenery…maybe that’s been the biggest thing looking back.
