    box blind

    Ours are framed out of square tubing. 16 ft high and have tin roofs with camo wrap sides, pexiglass windows and slanted steap and wood step depending on the stand. We also have what we call quad pods. We set this up in clear cuts and pastures. Its just open top for 360 shooting. I like um cuss we built them 10+ years ago and replaced the camo wraps last year for the first time. These stands also got hit by katrina and only one was bent beyond repair. (it was about 50 yards from its orginal staked postion. Also when we lost our lease we can stack these stand on a trailer and take off with them. Ill get pics soon.
  2. Was this a outfitted hunt or public land? I really want to head out that way next year and chase them around
  3. That sucks man. And i understand your frustration. Out old butcher would was the worst. you never got your deer. I would send in a smaller doe for some tender meat and come out with bigger back straps trimmed down to look smaller. I asked him and he denighed it but had others tell me they felt the same thing. luckly im good with a nife and have time and the place to butcher my own game now. I agree with others though and drop it. Just try not to let it eat at ya
  4. yeah i love when they say theyll show up between 11 and 4. I then explain to them how i have no life aand would be more then happy wasting 5 hours.
  5. The older ones faded and chipped. The newer ones we have put threw heck and back. It hides the scratches better then like green or black. I rub against trees on my rhino frequently and havent got any chips ot scratches
  6. Hshshs I did mine on the same thing. I also did it on how to plant a bush. youll be fine
  7. Thanks man looking fowrad to heering from you
  8. Im looking to hunt something diffrent and try to start a tradition. The tradition will be every other year do a exotic hunt and the years inbetween do some sort of exotic fishing. I went to alsaka fishing and fell inlove with the area. Im wanting to hunt either black bear moose or carubibue this time around. Any xperts on findind a guiding service? Im lost on what to do.
  9. I heer that. last year we ended up wit like 124 decoys out on the water. But hey it worked.
  10. That kinda of bowfishing is on my todo list
  11. I have the tight fit and not a big fan. I love the loose fit. I think my belly i grow for warmth in the winter is what makes the tight fit uncomfortble.
  12. Duck tape doesnt hold color very well after being in the wheather. It also reflects light. Deer hunting that want matter but turkey or ducks it could make a big diffrence. I also thought the summit stuff helps absorb vibration which in returns helps with sound?
  13. What kinda of spread do yall run? So far i have 3 dozen final approch mallords and 6 Green head coots. Im thinking of 6 more coots. 6 widgen 6 ring necks and doze gawalls and dozen woodies. I like a variety
  14. Im now going back to alaska so again over budget. Looking for a black bear hunt
  15. I always ask for pics just cuss i want to see it. If ya dont have um ya dont have um. I hunted a place last year where i saw a buck with a dark choclate rack. The mass was like coke cans it was truly unreal. I told some buddys i was watching him and some believe me and others didnt. They needed pics. I thought about it but Im hunting on the ground, with my bow. Im not taking a chance of spooken a good deer for a stupid picture. Im gunna hope i can bring a rack back. Let it role of your shoulders though. Also pics dont do ya much good soem times. I have pics of a 14' gator but since i dont have the tape measure on it in the picture no one beleives me. Dont bother me though I know what it read and i killed for my enjoyment not people i havent met.

    Sad day for me

    Hey dont feal bad we had the same property for 16 years. We had built a cabin made all the greenfields so fourth so on. We finally had it manged for big bucks. the owners son saw what we did. (never showed interest other then fishing for 16 years) now its a pay by day hunting lodge. All that work for nothing. We could of bought our on little peice of property with all the money we had tied in that place. Just makes me sick thinking about it.
  17. Dont worry about being to late. We havent even bushed hogged ours and we have 19 fields now. Some as big as 10 acreas. So we have our hands full but with no rain we are holding out. alittle while longer probly last weekend of september.

    Oil In Atv

    The 0-40 is a lighter weight oil. I would still try to find what it recomends. Im sure your atv shop can get it for ya.
  19. It shot alittle bit better this past dove season. I wasnt shooting good any way do to a sprained wrist. Ill take it skeet shooting soon as I have time
  20. I love the cummings motor but There very very loud. The duramax is just about as good alot quiter. As for the truck itself and ride quality. Chevy wins hands down. Saying all this I own a F-250. it was all I could afford when looking at them.
  21. I shot a few last year off a bucket or homade bow seat. Somtimes the trees are to thick to hunt in a tree, but the deer are all in it. So i would follow the sighn set up and have fun. Rember to wear a mask or grow a beard. Also i wear gloves and make sure nothing is showing. Must of all be down wind!!! Or itr will be a frustrating day.
  22. I gotcha. The bass swarm it looking for bream in the morning and evening. Why where catching the big ones of or close to the pier is the main creek runs right in front of it. So in the summer the bass hang out there. we Pitch jigs, 12"worms or even live bream to catch them.
  23. Well i went and have to say it wasnt bad as I thought. Are guy would throw the birds from a tower. We all had a kid with us and after they missed or hit we would try for um. I shot 7. We where hunting at a quail phesant reserve and he was stating that 90% of last years phesent want fly while on the ground. So i cant hunt um with custermers. So this way they have to fly and they fly hard. The one that get away hopefully live and stay on the property
  24. Cheater feeder??? How is lake mangment cheating? There is other feeders on the lake. There where cat fish but hopefully have removed them all. There are pictures from 3 diffrent lakes. 2 are private ones not.
