Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Listening to the rain on the blind roof

It’s 44* F here in Southern Michigan. Almost warmer than I would like.

No rain here, but a slow morning. Not even a squirrel so far.
I think the Hmong's that moved in about a half a mile away have just about wiped out anything thats edible.

Good luck.
Rain here.
No groundblind.
Sitting in jeep waiting for it to ease up.
Chocolate Cliff bar and a Dew Kickstart to keep me warm LOL

Slow rolled the thicket, saw fresh rubs from the road so something w headgear around.

Good luck! Maybe Thanksgiving Day hunters will move them around for you. Family down the road historically has a "drive" after dinner that gets the deer moving.

Good luck, maybe Ol' Big get restless and move around.

Most here don't like a Whitmer/Biden voter and I know for a fact the OP is especially opposed to it.


Good Luck Fellers.

Envious up here, sitting at work, -24*c outside.

I'd bet they're moving !

Was planning on spending Thanksgiving morning in the blind from zero dark thirty until about 11 A.m. but some other stuff came up. As of 9:45 A.M. the temp is up to 45 degrees with just a light breeze. Got that dark grey November cloud cover that I actually like this time of year..... It reminds me of good times like deer season. Would have been a nice day to spend a few hours waiting for my appointment with a whitetail. Just looking for venison now, got a doe permit so almost anything is fair game except fawns. Let a fawn walk by two years ago and said "come back next year" but it was a no-show.

Good luck, set for 3 hours this morning nothing but have two in freezer will be out all day Friday. Raining here and 50 deg. and falling. Got to go to 1hr to eat. Just a meat hunter these days.

Just watched a Coopers hawk take a robin out of the air not 20 yds from the blind.
It was a spectacular feather explosion!
No deers yet.

Cool!! That there alone is worth all of deer season.

Yes it was cool. There were songbirds fleeing every which direction as the hawk came toward me and the robin zigged when it should have zagged.

There’s 7 tom turkeys parading through the woods now.

Bet that hawk would make a more impressive explosion if he were legal to take.

Worthless bastard!

I’m down with a bad cold and tooth ache to boot. No hunting for me for a few days.

If I was in my deer stand, the one with the gaming chair in it. I’d be kicked back sleeping with the rain hitting the roof and wouldn’t give a rats a…ss. But feet to bad to get out. Besides, it’s my dogs birthday.

I'd flame one and call it Thanksgiving.

It's the 400th Thanksgiving Anniversary. Nothing more American than flaming an animal to feed the family.

Lol, Those birds know when something is going down!

When I was a kid every once in awhile I'd find a mouse or a sparrow stuck on a thorn tree by our house and always wondered how the hell that happened, fast forward a bunch of years and one day my dad was watching his birds and all of the sudden all the birds took off, some running into one another, he thought what the hell. a few seconds later a Butcher Bird (aka Northern Shrike) landed near the bird feeder and scoped it out for awhile.

That bird stalked my dads feeders for several years, dad really enjoyed watching him do his stuff. Me, I never saw it but did finally figure out how those animals got stuck in the thorn tree.

I haven't noticed it in the last couple of years, but we used to have a Northern Shrike visit our backyard in the wintertime. He'd perch well up in a tree and watch our bird feeder. I never saw him make a move towards a bird, unfortunately.

Anya you wackers, shot something yet ?

Not me. I came in around 11. Made a store run for momma, ate a couple of eggs and toast, then came out in this nasty weather to skin and cut up my buck.
