Shows how much I know about them!?

Beautiful buck Frank, congrats! I'm also hesitant on shooting something when its that warm. I like to let the deer hang for a few days minimum before skinning it. Usually it's down around the freezing mark here this time of year at night and low 50s during the day. Once it starts hitting 60+ you don't have much time to let them hang.

LOL funny! Hate when the battery dies, I usually trim my beard before my shower so if it does run out I plug it in and have enough juice to finish up when I get out of the shower.

So glad we don't have poisonous snakes here! That thing would be toast if I ran into it lol.

Wow beautiful young lady there! Keep the shotgun loaded and close by for sure!

This is the only hunting forum I visit! No matter how dead it is I try and check in at least once a week.

Not much this weekend. Had our thanksgiving dinner with my family last night. Still full from turkey dinner lol. Been raining all weekend and just stopped a few minutes ago, might try and get out to the treestand this evening if it stays dry. Have tomorrow off too since today is the holiday and Mondays are my day off. Supposed to be sunny and 70 tomorrow so may try and get the boat out one more time before I have to winterize and shrinkwrap it for the winter. Need to get some more firewood cut too so may work at that a bit tomorrow too.

In the treestand as we speak. Bow opened today Woohoo! There's a doe and two fawns at 25 yards right now. Beauty of a doe too. Temps in the mid 60s. Rather warm but feels nice compared to the heat wave we had the past couple weeks. It was over 90 quite a few days. That left Thursday. Woke up to 28 degrees this morning. More like October weather for sure! Got my lawn mowed on Friday do may finish up the trimming tomorrow on my day off. Hoping to get some more time in the tree too.

Hey fellas! Bow season opens October 1st here. Hope it cools down soon, summer finally showed up here in Ontario. Currently over 90 degrees right now and well over 100 with the heat index.

Trying to stay cool here today. High of 90 with a heat index of 106! 3 weeks ago we had frost and I had the wood stove going 3 days in a row lol. Guess summer finally decided to show up.

Still slowly dropping here. Down to $1.06. Yeah funny how they can sky rocket over night but take months to come back down.

Yeah we are starting to drop now, didn't take too long. Saw 108.9 in Ottawa this afternoon.

Yeah you took me in the processor, that was neat! Then took the skidder for a rip too.

Hey! Welcome back X 2 lol.

Very cool Martin! You are one heck of an operator, seen it first hand!

Mmmm if that's the same fish fry restaurant you took me to Martin for the walleye I'm jealous! Have to work tomorrow as usual 8-3. Then down near the Ottawa Intl Airport we go after "work" to continue working, they had a little senior outdoor show and we had a booth with a few boats, atv's, snowmobiles etc so we need to get that removed and back to the shop. Supposed to be a beauty weekend, sunny and in the mid 80s. Probably the last weekend with those temps so may try and get out fishing. Also going to try and hammer a few geese. Was sitting outside all evening, just came in about 10 minutes ago when legal shooting light ended. As I type there are hundreds of geese flying over lol. Didn't have one fly over all evening. Oh well that's the way it goes!

Yeah looks like Texas is gonna miss it. Wouldn't want to be in Florida though!

Yup not much you can do about it Martin, unless you want to get an electric scooter lol.

Not sure if gas has jumped everywhere, I'm sure it has. We were down around 95 cents/liter (3.04US/Gal), now we are around $1.30/liter ($4.04US/Gal). Cost $82 to fill the GMC Terrain from a little less than 1/4 tank this morning.

Might get out in the boat for a fish at some point over the weekend. Probably only a few more weekends left until I have to winterize and shrinkwrap it for the winter. Gonna push that as long as I can! Goose season opened yesterday. I literally hunt them in the back yard, they fly from a pond 1/4 mile from my house, right over our house and fields. Usually there's hundreds every night, haven't got a shot at one neither last night or tonight! Weather has been pretty crappy. Stiff northwest wind and 50 degrees right now. Just fired up the wood stove for the second time this year already! Supposed to be a nice weekend, sunny and in the low 70s. Never know what you get this time of year up here. Could be 90, could be 30!

Season opens on Thursday here! Just loaded my shell belt full of 10 gauge BBB's, I'm ready for them!

I've gotta get my card back in my camera at my stand and get some apples out for them, have like 3/4 of a garbage can full of them lol. Last pics I got they were still in velvet.

That's great man! Always feels good helping people out. Can just imagine how thrilled I'd be if someone offered me some land to hunt on!

The rain has moved in here too from Harvey, only supposed to get 1/2 of an inch though today and maybe a bit more tomorrow. Feel bad for those poor people down in Texas! That is unbelievable. We had our first frost yesterday morning. Woke up and the thermometer said 34 degrees! Looked outside and there was a layer of frost on the roof of our SUV. Haven't looked at my garden yet, hopefully my tomatoes are ok.

Awesome buck Joe!! He'll look great on your wall.
