No worries GR8, just take it easy. Sometimes I just try so hard it never happens. Today was my 36th day in a stand. Im about burned out myself. Im looking forward to some goose hunting, you know, laying in those sleeeping bags in corn fields, hamming it up with your buds, and waiting for the birds to come in. Thats a relaxing hunt right there.

Damn Diesel..Thats some awesome day! You have some kind of gold mine down there with the numbers you see and the size bucks you guys put on the ground. Simply stunning!

RE: 10 - Official Team Germ Warfare Thread
 

Well yes and no. I think I get lucky simply based on time in the seat, and thats the honest truth. I spend hours and hours pre season scouting knowing whatbucks are hanging around usingtrailcameras, glassingetc, and days and days in stands. Percentages, odds, and luck eventually give in to just being in the woods alot.I have some guys that occassionaly hunt the same property and hardly see shooters. For example, the guy that shot the 8pt yesterday said he wanted to go, and said, "where should I hunt?"He had no idea where to set up as he hunted the same property a few times with no luck. I put him in my second favorite go to stand and he took him at 8AM. Was pure luck.

I agree with ya D and sweet 8pt btw! That's how I manage to be successful around here as well. Every year its like I have to pass on 50 dinks before I get a shot at a nice buck. And it's all about being in the right places all the time. Also Gr8, I kept a logbook for a few years and one thing I noticed as I read through previous years. You can see my exitement slowly fade as the weeks went on without closing the deal ona shooter. My enteries showed frustration and hints of almost giving up. Then turn the page and I'm entering astory of success. You got to keep spirits high and keep putting in the time. You just never know when he's gonna show. Good luck.

Rob, Thanks bud and Congrats I see you shot another one of those famous bucks! Someday you'll wipe out that gene pool:D!

Gotta cut this shortsounds like Maddox is waking up.;)

Gee thanks Mantis [&o]..I'm out there except for the occasional break, here and there, for family. You'll understand that more next year ;)..every chance I get. My work and vacation schedule isn't as flexible as some, Especially this year. I hunt as often as I can especially during the rut.

Now next Year I gain a weeks vacation, so I'll have more available time. I also HOPE I don't have to use a weeks vacationfor post surgery recuperation! So I actually gain 2 weeks. [8D]

After taking Monday and Tuesday off. I'll be heading out tonight. Big weather front moving in tonight should have them up and moving. We are looking at a 30 degree temp drop overnight.

There we go GR8, just what the doctor ordered, a little something to get them stirred up

RE: 10 - Official Team Germ Warfare Thread
 

Well last nights hunt was uneventful.. Cept for the Squirrels. I really need to go in there late season and thin them out!

I did feel very invisible though! ;)
