Thanks Jason. Where is everyone? Helllooooooo? Antler Eater, have you got an elk yet? All this talk of wearing cheerleading outfits with TJF is starting to scare me.

Holy cow it is going to be warm here this weekend. Probably the 80s again and the mosquitos don't let up. I've been thinking about getting a thermacell but my bug suit should hold me. How about everywhere else - Kentucky, Ontario, Wisconsin, Ohio, Maryland, and everywhere else? What is it like there? Is anyone out scouting monsters they plan on bagging like TJF did?

Hey guys,

Man I am way behind the curve here. I have only hung four stands so far and opened up one other one. I should haveten stands opened up (these are permanent stands I have built and maintain) and hung at least a dozen more. I have so many projects going right now that it is hard to get my recreational activities in order. I am scheduled to leave Saturday for my second trip to Colorado. Some unsuspecting rutting bull will feel "Cupid's Call" I hope...

I finally got permission from my buddy to post his picture with his muley that we got a week or so ago. Let's see if I can pull it up.

Got to get back to work.....Later

Well,Im working the great afternoon shift this week and dont see the wife and kids much at all during the week with her work and kids school.Anyways,I was talking to wife this morning and she told me the kids had a run in with a black bear(not sure how big)They were at the park playing basketball with my daughters friend.Park is 1 block from my house.Anyways they were looking at it and completely in awe.My daughter grabbed my boys hand and said we better get out of here.Just as they started walking away,the bear started walking in there direction as well.All this Im told is happening about 40 yards apart.An older gentlemen was driving by at the time and seen what was going on and told the kids to get in the truck(related somehow to daughters friend)He got on the cell phone and called the police there was a bear hanging around in town.Within a half hour wife said the police and one ministry guy were there to retrieve the bear.I got into town at 11:20 and seen no commotion,so they must have given up looking for it or found .
I will ask my friend who is a game warden if he can fill me into what happened to the bear.
Kinda scarry knowing that I am at work and a bear is playing in town with my kids running around.

When I lived in Bozeman we would have this happen once or twice a fall, especially in years that the berry crop was bad. Always thought to myself how freaky it would be to be taking out the garbage and having Yogi waiting there with a fork and knife...Luckily it was always black bears instead of their grumpier, larger cousins.

We lived up in the hills and it never happened there, although the year before we moved in they had a small herd of elk walk through and acougar...

Wow a bear! None around here but cougars can make me nervous sometimes when I'm walking through the woods. Someone from the DNR once told me they don'tm ake it this far south but I wonder what leaves scratch marks on horses's necks and backs and left a couple of foals dead and high up in some trees in the state park that borders our property? I doubt a bobcat. plus I've seen them before and reported to the DNR, who tells me I must have seen a yellow lab. : )

I switched over to using real muzzy's instead of the practice blades last night. I was hitting low right about six-seven inches. But at least I was hitting that spot very consistently. I checked everything over on the bow (had trouble with the cable guard pulling out before) and decided to adjust the sites. I finallyfound my allen wrenches and tweaked it a little too much. It was dark when I started practicing but I had the outdoor lights on. I heard the arrow clip the edge of the target and into the weeds or the neighbor's lawn it went. Needless to say I couldn't find it ended the night a little frustrated and will have to look again tonight for the arrow when I get home from work. I am confident I will get things fixed tonight or I won't go on Saturday.
