Put me down as another one who uses a frizzen stall when sitting. I have the senior moments as well. And of course I have forgotten to take it off only once on a nice doe. :cursing:

Good job Eric. I too use a stall when hunting. I'm proof anyone at any age can and does have senior moments.

Congrats on the fat deer.

Here is the inside of my blind, I have 4 more similar blinds around the property. There is a stand of dead cedars nearby so I cut some of them up and stacked up a log house like arrangement. This blind will outlast me.

I have found these cheap patio chairs last forever and are pretty comfortable for the long haul. I do put a foam pad in them when I sit.

I have killed 3 deer out of this blind since I built it a couple years ago, two does and a 7 point.

Nice size doe, congrats!! :thumbsup:

I do the same thing with my lock when hunting; yes, it's an old man safety thing. Nice doe. I tried a 40 yard shot on a doe just the other day but didn't realize she was behind a screen of brush until she ran. No telling where the ball went.

I used to hunt out of blinds, like that. I'm inspired to set up a couple of those, myself.

I don't like taking a flintlock, into a tree stand, and I've done just as well, in that style of blind.

Bow saw's in the truck.

Congradulations and thanks.

Congratulations Eric. :thumbsup:
Good shooting. :hatsoff:

 

[smo]

Congrats Eric I like the blind too :hatsoff:

 

[Eric Krewson]

I shot one yesterday morning but not what I had hoped for. I didn't see the sapling in front of the doe while I was drawing a bead on her. The doe escaped unscathed.

 

[Wes/Tex]

Murdered a small oak a couple years ago myself. Ball deflected down and hit almost squarely between the little buck's four hoof prints and sprayed his tummy with dirt and leaf debris. That boy may still be running! :rotf:

I find saplings very tuff and stringy. On the plus side the memory will last a life time.

Congrats on the nice doe!

Cooking them in a crock-pot for about 15 hours can soften them up to a chew-able condition.

If you serve it to guests, after they've managed to swallow their serving you can always ask them, "Wood you like some more?"

:grin:

BTDT, not fun but way the hunting gods wanted it.

Eric,
Mike Horton,who used to own The Nocking Point,has a piece of a sapling that he dead centered with a broadhead hung "proudly" on the wall out in the shop. :grin:
You are in good company... :wink:

 

[don hepler]

I have a small white oak trophy, like that. My son-in-law, made a duplicate and gave it to me for Christmas that year. :metoo:

 

[Eric Krewson]

I hunted a log blind this evening, it is overlooking a saddle on a high ridge the deer cross regularly.
This six point tried to cross the saddle, my .54 worked as expected.

Merry Christmas to you!!!

Tsaan Wookkuh!!!

I'm jealous!! At least I can live vicariously through all of you!!
