Default were getting there.

Well it is getting close only about five months to go
SO how is everyone and are you shooting your bow.
Plan on a new string and arrows though I bought arrows last year. My draw length is alittle to short. SO my arrows will be to short to reuse.

Might have got lucky though. We bought a business and leased the property it was on. It has 13 acres of gravel and some woods. Not alot but it sits on a creek between two fields. Both fields are split beans and corn. The field on the east side is owned by a guy who owns the insurance company who we have our business insurance with. The guy we bought the business from is real good friends with him and is sure he will let me up it. So atleast I will have the little woods on our property.

On a crappy piss me off note... I went in to get my stand though I had left it a few months pass the deadline. Went back there and it was gone. second stand second one stolen.
I called the DNR hoping they had pulled it out. Nope they did not pull them this year. I was there checking on it in early april and it was there. SO I am guessing someone who was mushroom hunting took it. I had no one to help pull it since it was a ladder I could not do it my self. Sucks but it was only 125 bucks more the point then any thing.

I did not get to turkey hunt this spring to busy.
SO how is everyone doing?

Sounds like your having a good year. I still want to get into 3d just have not got around to it. DOing that good should make dropping the deer easy for you.

Yeah that's how I got started in 3d. Just wanted to be a better hunter. Then I got obsessed with it, now I have thousands in target gear and still use the same ol' ratty huntin stuff haha!

It does make hooting a critter seem like a cake walk simply bc my confidence in me is so high. Before I was alwas anxious about failure, now I KNOW that I can make the shot... Makes it much easier. I'm not saying I know that it's gonna happen perfect, but I have confidence that my part will be the best it can consistantly.

WOW, there's a surprise ?!? LMAO !!! What did you expect, I'm sure months after the deadline, folks' just assumed that you had abandon it. Granted folks should leave stuff alone that doesn't belong to them but it's still mostly your own fault!

Ya I know. GOing to stop by the house that is close by tmorrow and ask. There house is up a hill and there back yard is part yard but light woods and you could see there kitchen window from the stand. Kind of hoping maybe they thought I left it and took it. If not guess I will be buying one or two for our new property and blind hunting the public land
