"Inferno" boots not too sweet in Louisiana.[8D] I buy almost everything uninsulated, and just add
layers if necessary. Coldest temp yet where I hunt has probably been in the high 20's.

Anyway, here's my pride and joy and the reasons I am not getting in as much hunting this time of year
(but a good reason). Anyway, God has been good. I hope all you guys have a great Christmas!

The second pic is of my mom and 2 daughters:

Gonna try to get out tomorrow if the wind changes soon enough. We have an odd ESE wind that none of my stands are set up for. My neighbor has one I may try tomorrow. After that we're supposed to have normal winds and I plan to be out as much as possible.

Rob good luck!!!!

LB great looking family, and thx for giving Zach some choices

LB congrats on a healthy family...

Now there are some real TROPHY pics. Great lookings girls ya got there LB.

OK
Piss on these east winds

Well team, I am soon to be the owner of 84 acres of Whitetail Heaven in IL. They accepted my latest offer on the property I posted about a few days ago. Closing is the 18th of Jan. I couldn't be happier, except I won't be able to hunt it until next season. But I did get the OK to go explore it more tomorrow. I will post pics when I get home.

I can see myself spending a lot of time there in the future.

John that is terrfic.

Cannot wait for the pics
Mr. Mass has 9 lives He was coming to me tonight, then out of knowhere a coyote shows up Runs him off, he was 25 yds, I was just getting ready to pull the bow back. 60 mins later I havethe bow back on a doe, she was nervouse and flinch, I paused on the shot, she took off[&:]

13 deer tonight

Congrats John... Im back at it in the morning. I might just shoot the first buck that walks by.

Congrats John! I know that my dad loves spending time out on his property - just being out there,
it's addicting. Next thing you know you will have a tractor, shredder, sprayers, seed spreader, and
a new steel shed to put it all under.
It took plenty of trial and error, but we are finally getting the knack and knowledge of our land to
plant some good annual food plots, we have a couple of nice perennial clover plots, and have planted
hybrid (fast growing) pear, white oaks, and persimmons, which should start paying dividends in 5 or so years.
We also plan on thinning out (selectively hopefully) some of the woods next year - a lot of crap trees in there.

Sorry to hear about your hunting woes Germ. Hours and hours on a stand and it can all be undone by
one coyote! I'm still not used to this bowhunting thing - 25 yards and a big buck not being toast.
Good luck El Capitan.

Still trying to plot some hunting for next weekend. We shall see. I'm about worn out with doing
countless tasks and errands right now (wife can't bend down due to C-Section). [:@]
