Y'all ever felt like you've been at work for 8 hours but look at the time and realize it's only been 2.5? Yea that's me right now.......0330 can't get here fast enough!

I've never heard that about deer fat. My dad cut open a persimmon seed the other day and it had the spoon which the old timers say means a lot of snow to shovel......I highly doubt that here in southeast Texas LOL.

Well folks Wednesday morning I'll be headed to SW Colorado for a mulie hunt. I'm ready to get away from the hustle and bustle for a few days and enjoy some cool crisp mountain air! I'll try to post updates as often as I can as the cell service isn't real great where I'll be. Today and tomorrow will be the longest days of the year.....

Good luck Ross!

Our second "cold" front blew through SETX today. Yesterday's high was in the low 90's....today's high was early this morning at 70. It's about 55 outside now. Gonna have a couple of days of cooler weather then it's back into the mid 80's for highs for the next week. I don't hunt with a stick and string anymore so I think I'll hit the national forest tomorrow afternoon and kill some limb rats.

Congrats Shaun!

Thanks William....things aren't where I'd hope they'd be but such is life. Kids are doing good though.

I picked up a left over muley tag for unit 741 in Colorado. 40 days away....

Gentlemen, Unfortunately I am having to withdraw from this years contest. I won't go into specifics but your thoughts and prayers are welcomed. Hope you all understand and I wish you all the luck this season.

See snipe quite often down here during the colder months. One of them will flat out scare the hell out of you walking to the stand in the dark.

Sorry for being late to check in guys.....been a little hectic around these parts the past couple of weeks. My first hunt this year will be in Colorado. Leaving 10/31, start hunting 11/3 for mule deer. Back home by 11/9 and will start hunting these piney woods for whitetail.

T-60 days until we head to Colorado.......this hot muggy weather ain't making the wait any better.

Thanks Jeff, I'll check that out for sure.

All good looking bucks Al! I'd be after this one!

We need 2 more entries....

Going out to the lease Saturday morning to move a box stand (shooting house for all you yankees) and do some trimming on shooting lanes. Supposed to rain later in the day Saturday into Sunday and Monday as well. Probably burn some meat on the grill and relax for the rest of the weekend.

Yogi and Boo-Boo were none too pleased about their relocation.

Another great thing about permethrin is it lasts for a few washes so you don't have to apply it every time you go out. I keep it safe though and apply after two washes.

Still needing 6 more....

Took the boat out this morning for a few hours and wet a hook. Must have left my fishing skills at the house....didn’t catch anything. By 9am I had enough of the heat and came home. Heading down to Beaumont shortly for a family day outing. Nothing planned tomorrow. May make another morning trip to the lake. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Permethrin beats any other repellent hands down. Been using it for years. It'll kill wasp also if you spray enough on them......learned that when last summer when I opened my box stand and had a swarm in there. The only thing I had in the truck was the permethrin but it worked good enough.

Never have bear hunted with a bow and when I deer hunted with one I always used Magnus Buzzcuts.

6 more entries to reach our minimum head count for the contest............come on folks, join in on the fun! You lurkers out there, quit your lurking and get back in the game!

I believe you and I are already friends on FB, Ross.....and I want to say I follow your business page as well.

I thought I recognized you from somewhere else...."Tony Pic"....:D Good to see you stop in here......hard to keep up over on TBH lol....that place reminds me of how this one was at one point in time. Will you be making your pilgrimage down to Kerr county this year to hunt axis again? I've been doing a lot of reading here on RT as well.....mostly old posts/threads from years past. Reliving some of the good times and shenanigans that went on.
