You forgot &quot;Hit deer on the way home with new truck&quot; <br>Chris

 

I think someone followed me around on my last hunt and wrote that. I think my Indian name would be &quot;Naps with gun in the woods&quot;.<br><br>

 

Didn't mention the squirrels.

 

Instead of deer, put goose and you'll get an idea about a couple of my hunts.

 

<br><br>Do you mean the ones that you could swear were a 700 pound Russian boar with the longest tusks known to man as they approach you with all the stealth of a stacked CTD?

 

You mean the squirrels chasing each other just out of sight that sounds like a whole herd of deer coming to you?<br><br>Or the one that runs up a tree 20 feet away from you and starts hollering as soon as a deer comes into sight?<br><br>I swear squirrels must be paid snitches for the deer

Good one! Never thought of that, but now it all makes since! Time to go squirrel hunting! ;D

<br><br>Good idea! <br><br>Loading up the varmint round now.

 

I just hate when they come over to my tree &amp; scream at me. Lost more than 1 arrow shooting at them while deer hunting

Blue, I hope you don’t hunt with them “Tucker boys” from down in Beasly?<br>If you do there kin to my wife.

 

The squirrels are bad but I really hate that Big Tom that I never see in the spring that comes crashing through the trees while I'm napping. &gt;<br><br>It's a good thing my stand has a safety belt. :'(<br><br>DB

 

Now we just need to figure out how to get around going to the bathroom, Need to find a hollow tree ;D
