What are you hunting/fishing?

bocephus good luck. I was thinking if going out tomorrow but the wind is supposed to gust 40 mph. I think I will stay put!
ND Mike I have actually had some pretty good hunts being out right when those all day heavy winds stop. We knew it was going to stop with about an hour of light left. Now of course there still has to be daylight left for it to work but it’s just like when a heavy rain stops the wildlife switch turns on. However, I don’t think I’d get out into anything and wait for 40mph to stop blowing.

Yeah it is supposed to blow through the night, otherwise I would’ve went out.

ND Mike Hasn’t been the best of weather for hunting, too warm, too windy, and now drizzling rain. I hope it turns to snow, still have a few days left and we have picked up a few deer so not all bad.

bocephus hope it gets better for you. We have just shy of 2 weeks left up here.

I think I am changing my game of choice. Just been stung 2X by a frickin’ hornet. Same hornet, each hand, payback is coming.

YooperDog I love killing them with a pocket knife, those suckers sure crunch pretty loud!

YooperDog 2x by a hornet. Definitely not pleasant. I thought that getting bit by a number of jackets was bad until a hornet showed up under a pant leg one day. Ouch Ouch Ouch
zbigjeff Had that experience as well except the little b*stard went down my shirt and got into the back of my shorts. Stung me all the way down. Totally unprovoked attack. I got even, they lost two large ground nests in one day.

johnsbrewhouse Ground nests are nasty. The Ground around them actually buzzes.

zbigjeff That’s is them cooling the nest, it really buzzes when you hit them with them hornet spray them cover it. Fortunately I have no allergies to stings, so I approach their nests pretty close when it comes time for the kill. I dig out their nests as well. The crows feast on them.

While returning some items I borrowed for my hip rehab (bath bench, walker, etc) to a bud’s sister, we sat there and saw 3 bucks walk across his front and back yard. According to the people sitting around the table, they were an 8, 12 & 14 point. The 12 & 14 were very good size. 2 of the people were avid hunters and trembling. Hoping all you people had a chance to feast your eyes on something that nice and bring it home. I was recharging my phone at the time. Thus, no pics.

The pay-off.
This afternoon I arrowed this guy. He did me the courtesy of going down within sight of my stand. Since I am colorblind and a poor blood trailer, this really helps out.

My sons are colorblind and have to call the old man to blood track for them. I have always told them to make sure of their shots, because the old man may not always be around to track for them. They listened pretty good. Since they have been hunting by themselves, they have never had to make that call. I guess its a real incentive for shot placement. Glad you harvested one.

Thanks, He had a broken G2 on the left side, and after skinning him today, I could see he had his share of body bruises from encounters with other bucks.

It is kind of hard to explain. I can see blood on a light background like snow pretty well.
When the red blood is on a green or brown background like normal leaves and vegetation, it just turns brown and is hard to pick out from the back ground.
If there is enough of it, I can see it shine while it’s still wet, but if there is dew or rain, it all looks the same.

processhead we skinned out a buck one year that was a fighting fool. He had a puss filled sore under his eye. He broke 3 tines. When we rolled the skin off his neck we found a 4 inch long broken tine in his neck muscles from another buck! Tough animals!!!
