To all of you and yours from me and mine Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Buck, here in PA we’re not allowed any holes over I believe 8”. They claimed for safety reasons. Do you mark the spots when you leave so the next person coming by doesn’t step in a cutout with skim ice on it? From the videos I’ve watched it is quite a fascinating technique

Foggy, Sending prayers from my end of the world. May the good lord keep you strong in your time of need.

Closing out rifle season in a snowstorm here in PA. It will soon be time to get the flintlock out.

SD, Looks like you had perfect day for woods work. How’s that firewood stacking technique working for you? Looks great

Doing my part for herd management here in my little slice of PA. Saw 33 today and decided to fill my last doe tag in the last 15 minutes of the day.

I rigged this up for this season in my box blind. An office chair took up to much space, the kids got me a blind chair but it sat to high. I was using a wooden folding chair but after a couple of hours I was hurting. Had this old hammock chair laying around so I gave it a go. Works great. I’ll...

Back in the box after walking to the house for a couple of bowls of venison stew. I think I'll leave the heater off. Full belly, heat and this hammock chair may have me taking a nap all afternoon. Saw 4 bucks (2 legal) 3 doe and a red fox this morning.

Swamp, I always extract right into the bucket no filter and then filter it later through a 5gal paint strainer. Having done exactly what you did I made myself a promise never to do that again.

The Mrs grew some from seed. They take forever to germinate and are slow growers the 1st year or 2 at least for us.This was year 3 for them and I think the biggest was about 16” tall. I’d buy seedlings if I was going to do it again.

SwampCat, I'll be honest about it... Never.. It's a bucket list thing now. I would have never even considered that spot but I have a spot about 70 yds away in a grapevine cluster and have watched a lot of deer walking through that little 100 yard wide section that I had to give it a go. So far...

Sitting on the lower edge of a saddle with a 5 acre MFR thicket behind me. Hoping to catch a cruiser coming from the bedding on the other side of the ridge. Got busted drawing the bow back on a nice one at 1st light and had a small 4pt within 10 feet. The joys of ground hunting with the longbow...
