LOL, no reefer over here! I don't do any of that stuff.
Nothing wrong with that at all bud, i was just snarking with ya.
Oh... my... what's that lil' ol' metal thang in that pic? Could that be a handy-dandy thingamabob, made of professionally-heat-treated cutlery-grade steel that opens beers and drives screws and pries things and scrapes sparks off ferro-rods and steels fine edges and fits in your pocket or could dangle seductively around your neck, and makes women fall in lurve with ya and makes men wanna be like you?
That's a heckuva concept. Someone oughtta start makin' things like that.
Now THAT is advertising right there
Very cool thingamabob!!
I'm curious what the road conditions are like in Kansas in early December. Some friends of mine just moved to Kansas City and should be settled into their new house in a couple weeks and they want me to head out for a visit. I'm a little apprehensive to take my 2wd s10 on a roadtrip in winter.

I was trying to wing him, and I was to excited to hold fire, kids get that way.
I sincerely hope you're kidding. If you are kidding, knock it off. It's not one bit funny, kid. That's exactly the sort of thing that makes hunters look like trigger-happy morons. :thumbdn:
Well you old men have no issues with sitting still. You try sitting for 4 hours straight with ADHD,
"Old men"... lol. When I was yer age, no one called it "ADHD" and we certainly weren't allowed to use that as an excuse... If you can't sit still for 4 hours at a time, you've got no goddamn business being in the woods with a firearm.

you'll be fine.
I 70 is well plowed/sanded on the off chance we get any weather in early December, and unlike the mountains, we generally have a couple days worth of warning before a bad storm rolls over us.
Good to know.

Oddly enough, I didn't study marketing or bidness or nothin'. I'm either an idiot-savant or just an idiot. We'll see how that thingamabob pans out. *shrug*

They actually have 2 other dogs. One is a female St Bernard and the other is of all things a boxer/chihuahua mix. They all get along pretty well, but can get pretty rough with each other at times.

I keep going back and forth on this! I would absolutely LOVE to go, but I don't get off work on Friday till 5pm which means I'd be rolling it at somewhere between 8pm-11pm depending on how fast I go and how many times I get pulled over. Either way it would be dark! Which means either hanging in the dark (isn't TOO hard, but still not ideal) or sleeping in the car and setting up Saturday morning (also not ideal but it slightly better compromise?), or just pitching my sleeping bags by the fire pit on Friday night and hanging my hammock on Saturday morning (again) or just saying wait till next year when I have time off (which means missing camp but I would get to sleep in my nice warm bed, with fresh sheets, and new pillows...) I think I just talked myself into missing this one and planning on next year.

Anyone else notice that everyday around 12:15-12:30am the forum goes down for a while?
Keep advertising it to "make women fall in lurve with you" and it should do fine
Thats good!! Mine could definitely use more socialization!!
He thinks ALL other animals must be on earth for him to eat.

that was the 88 tactical bushcraft skills weekend -- some shooting classes (basics, instinct/point shooting, and how to use a chest rig), tomahawk fighting basics, group long term shelter building (logs, visqueen, and leaves as a base, anticipated snow load for insulation), friction fire, tactical flashlight use, general BS'ing, and the midwest version of Tim the Slugman demonstrating how not to make friends at a gathering...

True enough. But this is how ADHD was dealt with where I'm from.
[video=youtube;RsGkk1GGw3w]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsGkk1GGw3w[/video]
I think ADHD is an excuse for people to act like a-holes. Not saying you specifically MMist just saying ADHD people in general. Having ADHD to me means you have no discipline. In my mind anyways. If you acted like a uncontrollable excitable monkey you were treated like one also and had pills stuffed down your throat by psychiatrists.
Haven't seen any deer yet cept for driving 4 wheeler back from cuzin's camper in the dark last night. Was either doe (which can't shoot even if wasn't dark) or spiker. Didn't want to spook it to bad by chasing after it too much. I've been sitting in a chair in a field for last two days and it's been below 30 F both days. Try sitting still in that.
It sux. It was 17 F yesterday and exact same today. I've sat for 4 hrs. in -30 F couple years ago too with no blind/stand or heater. Only going out in afternoon today. Buying a blind and heater tomarrow so can sit somewhat comfortably. Building a few stands this summer. Sick of freezing my nads off. What's the temp. in Kentucky? Man I would be just sick if missed a nice buck. I'm sure I'll only et one chance this year.Supposed to be the lowest deer harvest this year since the record lowest in 1982! Worried. That's all I can shoot is buck's too. Can you shoot does? If you end up getting one would like too see it. Good luck.

The ADHD thing was kind of a joke, but if I sit for too long doing one thing (long board games, any movie, too much BF, extra long class periods, ect..) I get a headache, and have to switch to something else.
The temperature has has been around the 25 F mark, so quite cold, especially if your sitting on the ground. And yeah, i'm still looking for the buck, but I was spitting nails yesterday, I still hope I find it, I know I got him. The gun is perfectly sighted, and the scope is too powerful/ I was to close for me to have missed. I'll get him.
I've noticed that I hear a lot less shots this year than last, I wander if it's because of less deer, hmmm.... and yes, we can shoot does. In some counties there is an unlimited amount of doe we can shoot, but we can either shoot 3 does and 1 buck, or 4 does. I think that's a pretty good deal.
I've already nailed a doe the other day, st scan through the last few pages here, there is a pic.

ADHD or ADD (most of the time there isn't hyperactivity) is not an excuse...but it IS an explanation. Lots of people have your opinion, even a lot of folks WITH ADD (about themselves, because they are undiagnosed), and that sort of attitude makes it even harder for the people (adults and children) with ADD to get some help. Most people with ADD are not "a-holes" with a lack of self control, they are people with a medically studied and proven neurological condition, and most of them suffer from enough self esteem problems from their "inability to control themselves" that they don't need criticism from others. I would encourage visiting the www.chadd.org site and learning a little more; you might know more than a few adults who have undiagnosed ADD.
Although I do agree with JT that if you've got a gun in your hands, you had better ACQUIRE YOUR TARGET before you pull the trigger. That is a recipe for an accidental shooting.

I hear you. That happens with pretty much everybody. I've walked around looking for deer too and have had success might try too if you can walk quiet/still enough if getting too bored sitting. Though sounds like your getting alot more action then I'm seeing so don't know why you'd walk.
25F
I'm shocked so cold in the south. WTF. Is that common? I have a 6-18 x 44 Vortex crossfire scope and damn I love it. It's all I've ever need for my rifle. What kind of scope you got?
Damn that's nice. Lucky lucky lucky. That's so much meat! We can only shoot 1 buck this year. I don't think we can ever shoot more than one per year with rifle. Though 2 years ago we got to pick either buck or doe. There's one county that can shoot limitless does in mn. Will check out that pic. Havent been seeing any from anybody else around me.

I'm pretty sure it's a Bushnell 3-9 X40, but at 45 feet, it doesn't matter.
And for real, there is LOTS of deer here, I've seen 5 just since the session started, and while I was out there. And Yeah! 25F is cold when you have to sit still! I have three layers of long johns, 4 T-shirts, a long sleeve, and a jacket, and orange, and I'm still cold!

Mayeb it's just people that use ADD to act like douchebags I have a problem with.(again nobody here people I have been around that say, Oh don't mind my f&*%ed up attitude, I have ADD so it's OK for me to do whatever i want to anybody i want.) To me it's liike someone killing someone than saying" oops my bad , I'm just crazy is all" So please forgive me. I have problems. Everybodies got some kind of problem. Brain diseases do exist. Probably have more than a few myself. Maybe I have an anger problem. (Or just crabby from the way deer season is going so far
) So please forgive me if coming off as a-hole.- Status
