You really don't wanna know...

Thought it was Kegel?

as pappy once said: When the going gets tough, don't HighTail it... bout the fanny packs... Keep pen & a small spirrrol note pad, GPS, & my camera in one... While wondering about the woods...

Iv never been the best speler

That cows suck and when 40 of them move into your area after opening day, you better have a different place to hunt.

That nearly 90 inches of rain, a flooded nearby lake, and no crops planted make for a SLOOOOWWW year

1. In my 3 years of hunting I've successfully ruined my kids for store-bought meat.
2. Getting a trigger job to reduce your weight from 6.5lbs to 3lbs gets you roughly a 1,000% improvement in your shooting. There's an equation in there somewhere, I'm sure.
3. Duck hunting is a heck of a lot more fun when the ducks know to show up.

#2) As pappy once said: tis all about the jerk behind the trigger... Smoother pull, less of a jerk....

Learned that I finally found a lease the family will enjoy and that LOs can be your best hunting buddy. I also learned I have to move a set-up and build a new blind before next season. Also learned that everyone has a different idea about how much feeding is adequate. All-in-all it was a great season on the new lease.

I learned that forgetting your Pee bottle can make for a miserable day.

You should learn to pee on the ground.

Pee bottles are great, but yeah if I gotta go I'll pee outside the blind or hop out and get further away pee and come back. Generally I can hold it, but I'm a youngen compared to some of y'all old dudes here.

I learned that most of the things I do with squirrel, I can also do with deer.

I learned that 10 hours on low in a crock pot will literally melt the connective tissue right out of the shanks... and sriracha and ketchup will do for seasoning in a pinch

I learned that "high fence" doesn't necessarily take the sport out of a hunt.

I learned there are exotic hunts available bere in the U.S. under more sporting conditions than some hunts in Africa... and you can't even take the meat home from Africa...

I learned that some hunts, like moose hunting for example, can cost more than I make in a year to take my family...

...while good hunting for deer can be found close to home, and cheap...

...and the gun that you have is a lot better than the one that you want...

I learned that I'm not getting any younger. Those 50lb sacks of corn are getting heavier!

Concur sir!

Yes! Went to solar powered winch up feeders and the bags are still heavy.

I learned how much work it is to pack a bull elk of the mountain on your BACK!

I learned that when you hunt a lease full of bottom land, have a 2nd stand on high ground!

I learned that when i have a lease close to home, i do not make time to go hunting near like i did when i hunted Mills County!

Agree sirs, we must get our corn from the same place.

I learned that if you hunt with a 223 or hunt a HF it is best that you keep it to yourself.

Spend the extra and get the better gear instead of buying cheaper and then replacing it with what you really wanted in the first place!

I learned that as much as I enjoy hunting by myself or with a friend or two, I really miss hunting with my grand kids.

I also learned that if you take a Deer that is not at least 5.5 years old you say it was a cull.

I'm guilty I reckon. Turned out to be only a 4.5 yr old 8 point I took so still a cull I think
