Hatchet Jack

amen to that brother

I saw a monster buck... thats all im saying since nothing is sacred to anyone here in pa anymore apparently

Went to check my brush mountain set on Monday evening, Gone. theres goes 100 bucks down the drain.. i hate how disrespectful people are, i see treestands all the time in the woods, it neve even crosses my mind to take them

Im gonna try this year.
Ryan.

Ryan, Wow thats a bummer I would love to catch someone stealing a stand just once!! That is why I switchedto a lone wolf so I can take it in and out with me!!! Walt

Well guys i just cant believe it. Ive had more chances then i can count on all my fingers at bucks so far but i still have yet to stick one, they either catch me just as im gettin within range or as im gettin ready for a shot or just the wind will suddenly shift just as im in range and they spook. Startin to get really frustrating. Ive seen more then enough wallhangers this year (most ive ever seen in one year actually) and i just keep missin on the opportunity. But thats deer huntin for yah, im headin out on mon and tues for whiteys again so hopefully i can stick one before the rifle hunters spook them too much.

Dont worry When the time is right, it will all come together maybe its "divine intervention" maybe your supposted to shoot a record book this year? Its possable EVERYTHING is possable.

Just stay positive, thats what im trying to do.
Ryan.



(p.s. if i ever catch anyone in/stealing/around one of my treestands.... Well Have you ever tried to find a body on 2,000 acres of mountain)

Yah im hope i do put a monster on this ground and maybe it is divine intervention at least thats what i hope.

As for your treestand what i would do is if you have a trail cam i would set it up near the stand and if someone takes it you now have them on camera. Im glade i have the privelage of having LOTS of private property to hunt so that doesnt happen.

At least you're having fun, man!

Wow sounds like you are most diffently having fun!!! Come on Oct-1!!! Walt

Oh dont worry there definitely isnt a lack of fun, even though i havent stuck anything yet this has to be my best season so far.
