bout time

I used the chairs without the mat for many years. They have rubber caps on the feet and never had an issue with them sliding. The mat does work great for both comfort, Safety, and makes cleaning a lot easier. The Mat I use is an industrial mat with raised “diamond plate”. Best one I’ve found so far ‘Bout Time Mike

I have 2 folding deck chairs I bought probably 10 years ago from West Marine. i got them for around 130-140 a piece. they have been one of the best purchases i have made. they fold up when not in use and i store them in my cuddy / dock box. i will put one or both out depending how many i have on board.

Looking forward to it. Very well run and a lot of fun ‘Bout Time Mike

X2 That would be a hard one to pass on at this stage for me ‘Bout Time Mike

I have hunted hard this year with very little deer seen after opening weekend. Hunted one of properties yesterday all day and never saw thing. Walked the entire property and the only tracks were a fox and coyote. Decided to take this morning off and sleep in. I woke up at 630 regretting I wasnt on my way to the woods. At 820 I couldn’t take it anymore and decided to head the farm and at least check my cameras. I grabbed my coat and my 30/30 just in case. I found tracks everywhere, but they looked to be a day or two old. I decided to walk a logging trail and then walk along a ridge overlooking a heavy bedding area full of tree tops from logging. I walked slow and scoured the thick stuff for anything that didn’t look right. I spotted a BIG body deer laying there staring at me. I pulled up the scope and no horns, it was a big doe. I panned the entire area looking for a buck and nothing. Came back to her, whistled, she stood up at 75 yards, and that was it. She dropped 30’ from impact. Definitely one of my shortest hunts ( 17 minutes ) from the time I left my truck to my shot. She is one of biggest doe I have ever taken. Things got real interesting while field dressing her and the knife slipped. It adds the story and as my wife said “ only you “ [emoji3] ‘Bout Time Mike

This morning was A bust with zero movement/deer seen. Not a single shot Came back out at 230 and sat on the ground in between thicket and field about 50 yards off a travel corridor. Zero deer seen and no shots all afternoon. Slow walk out and I kept starring along field edges and woods but nothing to be seen Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

X2. Seems like the perfect morning especially after yesterday’s weather. Eerily quiet ..... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Sat in the truck waiting for rain to stop. Right around 7 it stopped. Slow walk into stand along field edge. In stand by 730 and at 815 wind started cranking and skies opened up. Complete downpour. Back at truck now soaked. Be back tomorrow with dry clothes Good luck to all those who stay out and Happy Thanksgiving everyone. ‘Bout Time Mike

Back on the ground for tonight. From what I’ve heard very quiet morning for those local to me [/url]

All was quiet tonight for me. Didn’t see a single one. Even the squirrels were nonexistent ‘Bout Time Mike

Changed things up for tonight. Just tucked a Ground blind into the thick stuff overlooking the field. See what happens..... ‘Bout Time Mike

Have to agree. Sat in stand this morning overlooking Field and bedding are behind me. 2 squirrels and that’s it. Zero shots heard. Got down and just walked entire perimeter of property. All sign is they are cutting through swamp from one side of field to the other(which we knew). Seems like every year about this time it changes to right at dusk on the field edges. Need another good storm / cold front to get them moving again Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

4 more doe last night across the field the last 10 minutes. One spike showed up nose to the ground and got a little too close to one of the doe. She wanted nothing to do with him and almost kicked him in the head trying to get away. Back in same set this morning ‘Bout Time Mike

Just finished 4 day hunt down in 7R. Hunted private property and Connecticut Hill state land. I saw a total of 13 doe and one button buck. Buddy In our camp shot an 8 opening day. He was walking by himself. Saw no chasing at either spot. Fresh scrapes and rubs appearing daily. Made it home just in time to sit for last hour at the farm in 7A Mikes 8 Tonight’s view Congrats to all those who scored so far. Some great deer have been taken ‘Bout Time Mike
