I've stopped watching most of the outdoor stuff. I was big on The Hunting Public for a while but got burned out. I'm sure MWW is a good production, I just have had my fill of watching someone else kill a deer on tv/youtube. Good luck to them though I hope they do well. Same here. I may watch a youtube video or two just to get in the mood, but definitely over the hump nowadays. I get a bigger kick watching southern guys squirrel hunt now. Lol

No hunting for us, but dinner with the family and a cruise thru the sticks on the way home. LOTS of deer out tonight. Saw about half a dozen bucks, and probably 60-70 total deer. Lots of crops coming down.

I'll start... trying to get back to a "hunt" mode, and not a "shoot" mode. Meaning not gonna be concerned with switching up a bunch as I normally do. TC Encores for us. Private land... 7mm mag 7mm-08 45/70 Public land... 358win shortened neck 450BM 45cal smokeless in mz season I'm gonna edit in 45/70. I finally took some time to put together a few loads to try. It's in an Encore, so Trapdoor loads for me. Bet it's gonna kick like a donkey. Lol I had a few hours to play around with the 45/70 today. What a blast! Lol. Fun, fun, fun! Got a couple great groups right off the bat. Ran inside and loaded a couple more to make sure they repeated. Then loaded up the rest of the brass I had ready. Fired off a couple groups over the next 2 hours. Stick a fork in it, its DONE! Just gonna verify at a little longer ranges, then zero, and put away.

Raining bloody murder at our house this morning. Radar showed a thin lake effect band. Drove on down to our spot and bone dry. I sat down and saw about 8 or 9 skurries right away. Got lined up with the ole 22 hornet and knocked out 3 in a row. I also dropped a piney but cant find it. Breeze just starting to pick up, so gonna try for just a little longer. Edit in to add one more. 4 today, 7 total for the season now. Funny, I have still never taken a full limit in a day. This ain't bad tho. Skurry and dumplings on the menu soon.

Weather app is calling for NW winds for our location, might be a barn burner in the morning but I'm not going to hold my breath. Indiana weather is so unpredictable it doesn't do any darn good looking at it hours ahead of time 10,000% true!

Hoping to get a little time this weekend in the skurry woods. Calling for some wind, so that will be the deciding factor. Hopefully calm first off for a bit. Sunday sunrise? Not looking good. NW Winds 12 gusting to 23...... Maybe sit in a ladder stand and watch the woods? For ground skurries! I havent even thought about deer hunting or crossbow yet!

Elkins Taxidermy in Hudson Lake, IN has done squirrels in the past. I havent visited in awhile to know what's going on nowadays, but I can vouch for some incredible work he does.

High Cotton, I wish I could travel with you for a solid week just to eat at all the fine establishments you visit. You find some good stuff out there my friend! No doubt. Problem is, I'd be right back where I started as a big fattie if I got to do that! Lol
