Blackpowder Time 19 Days and counting

I've got the 50 Caliber Renigade ready for the season. And after $100.00 later the 4 wheeler is legal in Crawford County Missouri and the Mark Twain National Forest, on numbered roads that is.

Final Day of the 2011 Deer Gun Season

As the last day of the 2011 gun deer season came to the close today, the score remains "deer 100% - Jim 0%" Here's hoping Lady Luck of the December Blackpower season smiles upon me.

Day 7 of the 2011 gun season

Well 7 days and 30 hours of hunting later I still have not seen hide nor hair of a deer in the woods. That included my land, 2 different parcels of Forest Land and 300 acres of private. That includes mostly stand hunting but some walking. I am going to give it 5-6 hours Saturday. If it holds the same I am going to say to hell with it for the 2011 gun season. Rest up for 3 weeks until Blackpowder and try it again.

Tuesday Day 4 of the season

I enjoyed a day of R&R after 3 days in the woods and never seeing a deer I felt I needed a day off to recoup. And I did enjoy today. It's suppose to be a nice day tomorrow, Wednesday day 5 calling for a low of 30o and a high of 50o very little wind and clear and sunny, watch out deer here I come "again"

Third Day of the 2011 Season

‎3 days in the woods, in tree stand 11 hours Saturday, 2 hours Sunday, 5 hours Monday. How many deer have I killed, how many deer have I seen the answer to both questions - ZIP - ZERO - NONE. This weather needs to change. Shots heard Sunday and Monday mighty mighty few.

Opening day deer season 2011

The common question "Did you get anything today?" My answer is yes after 11 hours in my stand I got WIND BURN and a $125.00 fine, because my 4 wheeler was on a old logging road on Stateland and not on there damn numbered road. Ain't that a bummer. Oh and I didn't mention I didn't get a deer opening day.

Tomorrows the day

I just checked the game camera on my land at 10:45am. No deer pictures for the last 4 days, they know its getting close. Up to the last 4 days, I had pictures just about everyday. I hope this is not like it's going to be during season. Going to check the camera on my Stateland this afternoon. Same results as my land no pictures for the last 4 days.

One day left before opening morning

Going out tomorrow Friday November 11, 2011 and change out the SD disks in my game camera's and hope the deer are still using my new stateland area and my personal property here on the farm.

Yucky Week

Be glad you don't have a Ranger. My ABS brake warning light kept coming on, trouble code 12 (low brake fluid) - Bad senser in the master cylinder. Of course you can't change the senser you have to change the complete master cylinder, and of course the wiring harness connector was corroded so bad it had broken terminals. So parts and labor $230.00 to turn off a damn warning light. I hate senser's. And on top of that my kitchen stove electronic ignitors died so we gotta get a new stove. Then to top everything off Shirley somehow ended up with a pinched siatic nerve in her lower back so she is in severe pain in her complete right leg, so between doctors, hospital xray, catscans and theropy it has been hecktick around here this week and to top everything off - ITS ONLY 3 DAYS TO DEER SEASON. Well enough bitching hope your day is going better

3 more days

3 days and its opening day, suppose to be 40 degrees opening morning, with a high of 68 "Not Deer Hunting Weather" But no rain is forcast, but is suppose to be partly cloudy.  I have seen a lot of hunters in new trucks pulling big 5th wheels coming in for this season.  I will go out Friday and change my game cameras SD disks and see if the deer are still using my new area.  More to come!

6 days and counting

November the 12 next Saturday will be here before you know it.  My game camera in my new area shows plenty of deer using the area.  Got pictures of a 4 point, a spike, a  button, does and yearlings.  Should be a good year.  Had a front come through yesterday with rain and wind and a lot cooler tempetures.  Had a high of 50 today.
