feels like fall is here
« on: August 31, 2009, 07:16:50 AM »
I walked outside last night to put the windows up in my truck and as the pole light just turned on I couldn't help but think about memorys of fall.  wow.  allmost chilly enough that a jacket would have been warrented for a longer time out there.  even the smell reminded me of fall.  a little over a month away and people will be up a tree chasing whitetails and a little over 6 weeks and it will be fur season.  time flys.

I was in New York this past weekend and it was 50 degrees in the mornings.  With some of the wind and rain, it was down right chilly.  I am really looking forward to the season...........Tim

Might sound weird but I get this funny feeling when I see the farmers cutting the corn, then you add the cool temps..... You really know it's getting close! ;)

good luck if you head out trophies.  I know it was nice to work in the yard last night and be comfortable.

Just a tad chilly this morning....I had some windows open and had to close em, cause I needed to bundle up last night....plus that chilly weather played heck on the knee.

Goose I'm with Tim....how about a D4 Goose hunt?   You can show us some things  ;D

I know this weather has me wanting to be hunting....we'll have to see how bad the Physical Therapist beats me up today.....this ought to be interesting

lol..i been putting off a neck operation,got 2 herniated discs,when my back was bad they let it go till one night 3 of us was on a round bail,we had a decoy out with a small light on it,here comes a fox,with a yote on its azz,then a yote lets out a big ol houndy howl behind us.

my daughter and myself,are trying to get my 13 year old nephew his first yote.
he gets scared when the one behind us howls,he gives me the gun,so i figured i would take the one chaseing the fox,which is now standing looking at the coyote decoy right beside the big red fox.

The boys start out with a 223 handi rifle,that is a hole cutter,i load for it.
Well i pulled the hammer back went to squeeze the trigger,and it sounded like the stock cracked.

I couldnt move,i pizzed myself,sheeet myself,,and couldnt feel my feet,but was in more pain than when my brother shot me when we were kids.

is the theropist a male or female...lol
