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. How many treestands can you get in that mini-van?

saw a big WT last night (bow hunting) and another this morning (BH rifle). had a 3x3 WT walk by at about 20 yards and a string of does. had my eye on a 130" class buck at around 500 yards. by the time I got to move from the little deer by e he was gone. still have a few weeks to hunt and the rut isn't on yet.
I did manage to rattle up a yearling doe last night. not sure what was on her mind.. maybe cruising for some dudes, lol

'Can't shoot around here-no safe angles where we wouldn't be shooting at another house. Stand on the roof of your house... Unfortunately no. 100 ft. wide lots, one on top of another. It's a nice neighborhood, but there's now way you could shoot in here.

I have no idea how many stands in the mini van. I can tell you that my F250 and the trailer were full tonight as we put up 2 ladder stands on some new ground that I can hunt. Dad and the boys and I got both put up in about 2 hours. Supposedly a cougar out there. Mostly willow swamp but we found 2 trees.
This will be my daughters first year. At 10 years old, she is pretty excited. We have practiced a lot, but real deer are different than a target.

Don't be hating on mini-vans guys. I actually like mine a lot. Gopher, I feel your pain. I have been having a huge buck from the conservation area bed down in my back yard here in Eden Prairie. Damn thing is bigger than any deer I've ever seen while hunting. And all I get to shoot in the backyard is the evil red squirrels with my air-rifle....

I saw a horse with antlers in a conservation area this morning on the way to work. He was just standing 75 yards from the road broadside in the rain watching me drive by. Then he lowered his swollen neck and started sniffing the ground and walking away. That was a damn nice buck!

I really don't have to either. But it builds my pension when I do. Then I don't have to work any day any months.

I've been crazy busy since my retirement this past summer but I did have time to check a trail cam tonight. Pay no attention to the dates as I forgot to reset the cam when I put it out. I like how this guy thinks.... These guys don't seem to get along too well....

ND. I have a little pancake compressor that you can use with your Honda generator or I can run the service truck out with full air/generator/welder/tools and whatever you may need. I'm booked until mid-week but it's all yours if you want to come grab it earlier. It's a chevy but you'll figure it out. I'm working not too far from your place if that helps with mileage at all.
Hit me up with a text message on the talkin wires there Romulus if that would help you.

Oh, there is a 5 gallon can of sauna joose here to that you haven't picked up yet as well.
