Thanks Fieldmouse. My family totally escaped this one (we had 20k damage in the last storm almost exactly a year ago). Barely a branch down this time. half a mile away there is tons of damage. tornados are freaky!

This was a good reason for me to take the plunge and buy a good honda generator. now, my late season hunting/camping trips will be with all the comforts of home! oh, don't even get me started about how ice fishing is going to be this winter :)

Sorry to hear about missfortune Luster. Hope your family and neighbors pull together and get through it ok.

Sounds like your off to a good start buying new toys already.. [8D]

Rack, if I make the trip, can you drill a few extra holes in the ice for me? I went one year in Wi. Went for four days took two pictures. One was of me the other was of my neighbor. My wife gave me so much sh!t about only two pics they sit on my desk today. I loved it. My beer never got warm. I was a little depressed they never let me take my all terain vehicle, aka rental car, on the ice.

I didnt get the chance to get out in the woods this weekend. Friday night I scratched my eye somehow and it swelled nearly shut so I didnt bother setting out in the 15 mph winds we had all weekend. Im gonna try and get out before this weekend, and hopefully be able to hunt few times over the weekend. My buddy missed the 130 class 9 point yesterday morning..so maybe he will stick around?? What do you guys think?

He's just a baby it your area. I hope he leave because big daddy doesn't share.

fieldmouse, only a couple holes? I drill them by the dozen. You make the trip up here and I'll definitely drill some. In MN, Mille Lacs is the lake to go to. There are tons of cheap houses to rent. we stayed one weekend last year. had a blast! I'm sure we'll be back this winter.

I went out last night. saw about a dozen turkeys, no deer.

RE: 7- Team "Dead Balls" Official Thread
 

finally saw some deer. 4 fawns. i was hunting on the ground next to an alfalfa field (no good trees around). i thought 2 of the fawns were going to come up and lick me. one got easily within 5 yards, trying to figure out what i was. looking, sniffing, looking, sniffing. it was pretty funny. 2 more fawns came out right before dark. it never ceases to amaze me how dumb fawns are.

RE: 7- Team "Dead Balls" Official Thread
 

Ya I hunt from the ground 90% of the time. Last year I had two fawns come about 10ys and they kept circln around me, stompin, bobbin there head back and forth. Great experience though, I like being @ eye level with the deer. At least your close enough to smell em...[8D] Still another week and a half before the season opener here. [&o]

Got to bump it since work has me bogged down

Don't you all worry, I can kill decent bucks any day I want.

RE: 7- Team "Dead Balls" Official Thread
 

One week till I get out there. Hopefully my stands arent stolen and I see some quality deer! I am always afraid my stuff will get stolen! If I ever caught someone in the process I might lose it! You read this kind of stuff all the time and it boggles my mind. I could see someone using it and coming up with a good excuse but just to take it is rediculous. Let good luck be on my side!
