lol. That thing won't shoot 220 swift very well anyway.

I have finalized my gear into a big pile on the basement floor.

that's step one.

This week is gonna take FOREVER!!!!!

Need. Weekend. Here. NOW.

Aw ha. I didn't put two and two together there. 220f Savage 20ga vs. 220 swift confoosion

Ah what the hell....give it a try.

Oh I see now. I couldn't tell it was a shotgun, I was posting from my phone last night, small pictures, thought it was a rifle and someone said 220.

I know an old fellow that after consuming many Natty lights tried to sight in is .06 with .270 ammo . Bout drove him nuts .:O

that sounds non safe.

I have the fever bad folks. The wife caught me rubbing the handles on my fridge with my head the other day and simply said, "this again?". Yep. Beard is being grown. I got my own brand of beard camo. About 65% dark hairs and 35% white ones. It has been hard getting that formula right!

Everyone remember to be safe climbing those stands, remember your firearm safety rules, and take lots of pictures...hopefully with a grip and grin shot.

Yes, but very likely safer than the other way around !!

Dave,

Howz the deer sign at ChickenBuck ?

And did you get all the work done Saturday ?

Remind me again why I go up north to hunt. Wife took the garbage out to the street this morning and there were 7 turkeys and a fat little 6 point under the neighbor's feeder. The turkeys just looked at here and the buck didn't even take off until she started down the driveway with the garbage cans. 'Can't shoot around here-no safe angles where we wouldn't be shooting at another house.

we got a lot of work done, I even made a speedy trip out yesterday with a freshly filled 100 lb propane tank, a new LP regulator, a new gas light (we are up to 4 now). There were a few other do dads I dropped off, such as a hose kit for running Pam's buddy heater off a propane tank rather than the little bottles, the tank will be on the ground under her stand.

The swampy ground is extra swampy this year, I'll need some very cold temps so I can take the "walk on water" short cut from the cabin out to that stand. otherwise I'm in for a little longer walk, going around the swamp and coming in through the cedars. Its worth it though, under and near my stand is the most deer sign I've seen out there in our hunting area in many years, possibly ever.

The cabin is ready for occupants, New oven and range in the kitchen, a new arrangement of the furniture through kitchen/living room, we are stocked up on bonfire wood, sitting decent enough on firewood for the cabin too. The big bbq grill is out there on the porch ready for action.

I dont have any cameras out, they are sitting on top of the gun rack in the cabin. I purchased batteries for the cameras and then we couldn't find the batteries

We have new batteries now so I guess we can put cameras out on Saturday.

I didn't get any sauna work done, All I need is a small elect air compressor to plug into my generator. I have a brad nailer, nails, air hose etc. I wish I would have known a person can buy the compressor/nailer combos for not much more than the nailer alone. I noticed that yesterday while I was picking up welding supplies for my shop.

I have the insulation, the cedar boards.... the plastic for moisture barrier, I even have the window....

Well depending on how long you want to wait for the compressor, I can bring it up for muzzl loader season. I have nailers too if we can double dip and get more finished?

Hope all you minnesnowda guys kill some whoppers this year, ill be up at the wisconsin farm with the stick and string whilst you guys have the boom sticks, hopefully were both posting pictures saturday afternoon!

Thanks for the camp update Dave !
