Must be terrible
 

to have never used anything but electonics to call a predator.
If the batteries go dead, they're in real trouble.

Anything else of value to add? I feel bad for you big V, what riding horse to work and powering your fancy computer with a key and a kite...

Poor Ol Valentine...walked 3 miles to School in 2 feet of snow...up hill both ways! :D ;)

On a good day!!!! And used his only shoe laces to hold his book while doing so!!!

I admit walking
 

Walking back and forth some three miles from and to school; then walking about a mile and a half to deliver newspapers to homes for some school years, as an old fashion newspaper boy.

I well remember the ice skating in winter, when the winters were real cold.

I think all that walking was so I could carry a tree stand into and out of the woods when I got old.

I hear ya on the when the winters were really cold. Here in Illinois it used to worth the effort to have a snowmobile back then. In the past 15 years here in So. Il, it would not have been worth the cost of the insurance to even own one all together!!
And I am thinking that I am getting close to that unmagical age of packing a stand in and out everytime I hunt. :violin:

No need to lug a stand into the woods, you can buy on of those cabela hunting video games and do it from your easy chair!!

I can say I didn't have near as bad as my Parents did when they we're growing up....but my Kids don't have it as bad as Me when I was growing up either. :D ;)
