Rocking chair
« on: November 20, 2011, 01:45:25 PM »
Having fun setting in my rocking chair after the hunt.
For a brief moment I could hear nature through all the noise.

LOl Death cries from my chair is the call I use. Are you killing anything with your white light. I am thinking I might have to go to white lite to make my 300 yard shot. 268 yards on snow is as far as I have gotten with red.

Way to go Buckwheat.  Do you have to lower your tripod to shoot off your rocking chair, or do you just spread the legs further?   ;)  Do you have pack straps on the back of your rocking chair to carry it in?

All the fields I hunt are down hill and muddy. I just put everything on my lap and slide down the hill on the rocking chair rungs. Then just turn side ways to stop at my calling locations. Picked up this trick when I was just a kid snow sledding. Still use it the same method today. Some things you just can not improve on.

Naa, I just shoot the ones on the down hill side and pick them up on the way down to the truck. By the time I get to the bottom a good hunting partner will have the truck  running and I just slide up the tailgate and head for higher ground.

I do not shoot the tree, as you can tell by the picture I am just making the tree stand there, kind of  holding it hostage.
