Are you cold?

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Are you cold?

Not at all. 33 degrees here this morning. Balmy for this time of the year at daylight

 

[TheWalkmen]

Have you looked at any NSFW material? Is this interrupting whatever you’re presumably hunting?

Pro tip: turn the volume down on the video. All that squealing scares off the deer.

 

[Fishboy]

What's your weapon of choice for the hunt?

No lol

 

[Cowboysfan8]

.50 cal flintlock

It’s flintlock/archery only for a few weeks after Christmas

 

[Osaurus]

Seen any bears go #2?

 

[belljr]

What's the biggest snipe you've ever caught

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Seen any bears go #2?

Not today. I did see a pile on the trail in the other day

 

[Cowboysfan8]

What's the biggest snipe you've ever caught

I’ve been trying forever, but haven’t caught one yet

And are they really using toilet paper now? I've seen ads on tv that seem to be aimed at them.

I didn’t see any paper. I’ve seen those commercials too. False advertising imo

In the woods.... are you not paying attention?

 

[AAABatteries]

Why do they call it a blind? Because you aren’t supposed to be seen by the game or some other reason?

Do you eat anything you kill?

Why do you call them window blinds?

I never thought about it really. But yes, as long as you don’t move deer will usually look right at you and go about their business. In a treestand, not so much, at least in my experience. Also nice to get out of the weather especially this time of year. There is also a heater for the brutally cold mornings.


I usually give most of my venison away. We make our own sausage and ground meat but I’m not a huge fan of straight venison to be honest.
I grew up eating rabbit, squirrel , pheasant, dove, deer. I’ve eaten black bear. I haven’t been small game hunting in years though sadly

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Rabbit has always been my favorite to eat

 

[ChiefD]

Do you have an itch in your left foot on the bottom right this minute, in a spot where it would be impossible to remove your boot?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Rabbit has always been my favorite to eat

Growing up my family visited our rural uncle once a summer. He made his spaghetti sauce with rabbit. Told us kids it was Italian sausage.

 

[Blick]

It will be easy to keep your powder dry today. Enjoy!

How’d you know?

That’s creepy

 

[bcat01]

Is your flintlock an antique or newer? Pics?

That’s great lol

That’s actually how my dad made it. Roll in flour, brown in butter then slow in sauce all day

 

[eoMMan]

Would you shoot Sasquatch if you saw him/her/they?

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Not an antique.

I got it new 30 or so years ago

This one

Lyman - Trade Flintlock Rifle 50 Cal

The Lyman Trade Rifle is patterned after the sturdy and functional guns developed for the early Indian fur trade. Designed by such companies as Henry and Leman, these original guns were much sought after by trappers, Indians and other rugged wilderness survivors. 1 in 48" twist.

No way. I’d love to see one though

 

[SWC]

I don’t, but if I had a warm coonskin cap I would wear it

 

[ChiefD]

Do you bring a portable charging block for your phone?

 

[Sabertooth]

What percentage of the time are you on your phone in the blind?

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Do you bring a portable charging block for your phone?

Nah, my phone battery is surprisingly still pretty strong after 2 years. I don’t hunt all day most days either

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Where are ya?

 

[SWC]

do you remember the alamo every time you pick up your flintlock and do you ever say ill see you in hell santa anna under your breath when you shoot at a deer or what take that to the bank bromigo

 

[Cowboysfan8]

What percentage of the time are you on your phone in the blind?

Today…40-50 I guess.
I don’t really care to kill a deer anymore. I killed my share in my lifetime.
I could’ve killed 2 nice bucks in rifle season. I’m out to relax and enjoy being out here. If I see any deer it’s gravy

 

[Cowboysfan8]

[ChiefD]

You have a thermos of hot coffee and a stern look on your face? And a pick up truck at the end of the lane waiting for you to drive her home?

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Pa

Sounds like you're board.
Here's some videos by a BC hunting guide that will entertain you while you are alone in the wilderness.

Not even the backstrap?? Mannnn, that's the filet mignon cut right there! Marinate that bad boy then grill it up. :chef's kiss: It was a toss up between that and fried venison cutlets with homemade mashed potatoes and gravy and cathead biscuits when I was a youngster at the hunting camp with my dad.

I have a small thermos with black tea and honey

No stern looks except for when work called earlier and I ignored the call

My wife dropped me off this morning. Only maybe 5 mins from home and the little pulloff I usually park in is full of plowed snow, I didn’t want to chance getting stuck

 

[SWC]

public land or private access take that to the bank bromigo

Yeah, I can take it or leave it and my wife ate a ton of it growing up and doesn’t care to eat it anymore

My circle of family/friends freezers are full by now. If I kill a buck (unlikely) he will probably end up here

HSH

There is a butcher shop here that donates their time to process the deer

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Private

There is quite bit of state land within driving distance though that I hunted some when I was younger
