    Doggone good dog thread

    One month is too long to leave this thread in the dark. 😁 Otis is a goober. Nice big dog pillow. Sleeps half on the floor and half on the body pillow. My cousin couldn't find his boxer earlier tonight. Started to get worried. Ended up finding him burrowed under a big pillow or couch cushion. 🤣...

    Show us your wood (pile)

    I'd say this is the latest I've ever started my boiler. Probably could have gotten away with waiting until the end of next week as I look at temps coming up for most of next week. Daughter and son in law are coming home Saturday. They're already whispering mentions of potential snow on...

    Wire Haired Dauchund

    Those dogs are strong. Strong willed also. Stubborn can be an understatement.

    Random weather thread

    Well? Are our SE Ohio friends getting some precip to lessen the drought concerns? We have our first "snow" of the year in the Lima area. I think the further south you get in I75, the more snow they have. Ground temps are warm. Seeing windshields and roofs sort of covered. Even windshields are...

    10/30/2024---911 What Is Your Emergency?

    In motorcycle racing we referred to trophies as "bringing home the hardware." Truth be told, most guys brought home hardware which looked like what you just shared. Looks uncomfortable. Hope the healing is fast and full. A true blessing it was not any worse.

    To many deer odnr

    There really is a disbursement problem. I fully agree here. Public grounds (from many comments here and elsewhere) sounds like it "can be" slim pickings. As mentioned above, the leases or large tracts of land often have big deer numbers due to selective numbers of hunters. Many private...

    To many deer odnr

    I like the idea. Not sure I'm a fan of forcing land owners to allow hunters in exchange for kill permits. I wouldn't want a bunch of random people on my ground.

    Had one lonely 4 point stroll thru. Not in a hurry. No tongue hanging out. No friends with him. Just randomly wandering thru areas looking for the party. I don't think he found it. Neither did I.

    Hunt 7 I think. Sure is warm. Southerly winds again. Lightly bumped 3 about 100yds from my tree. Same as before. Hopefully that means they are on this end of the woods tonight. They didn't booger out too stupid. Just decided they didn't want to be there.

    College Football Thread

    Is Oregon struggling or is Wisconsin just bringing it? I'm going to say a little bit of both. But I've only seen a little bit of the game. Probably not a fair assessment. Have only seen a few plays of GA and TN. I keep going back and forth. I keep seeing a tight ballgame there as well.

    Are you having fun? Seems like you have enjoyed Dan and (Lord know why😁) also Jon on the bear hunts. Now you've made it back to IL. From my perspective? I'm happy to see you posting. Hope life continues to treat you well. Hope you tag a giant. You've been dealt enough wild cards the last...

    Southerly winds again. Grabbed the climber. Found my clump of trees again. Felt deery again. Never saw a deer. Farmer has turned the fields over since my last hunt. Thinking the patterns may have changed slightly. Goose egg.

    Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson

    I can't believe I stayed up and then couldn't see it. Our Netflix refused to work. My son found a stream on TikTok. Some dude videoing his TV with his phone. So we watched it on my son's cell phone screen. Stupid. 8rds. 2min rounds. Heavier gloves than normal. Lots of dancing outside of...

    Felt deery. It was deery. Had a nice show. All 200-500 yards away. One little lost doe was in bow range. I was watching 2 Young bucks pester does. Then a respectable buck ran them off and took his time walking from doe to doe checking them. Honestly lost track of deer. 10-12 does? Definitely 3...
