What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

How did you know that white is my car color? You rock like no other Joel. I’m checking SouthWest flights for Sandpoint Idaho as soon as I’m done texting!
I figured white on red with some silver chrome might go nice with an Ohio State sweatshirt I saw somewhere. :thinking-face:

Nailed it!
 
I got a text from a former coworker, she worked the front desk, that I haven’t seen since last December. She said she texted me because she was thankful for me. She moved to a town next to me and we are going to go to lunch next Friday. I only bring this up because you all, especially Tim, make it quite apparent I’m abrasive and I wanted you to know that at least one person doesn’t. Although she mentioned she is looking to work in a Chiropractic office in Columbus and might just need a good reference. :thinking-face:

Your "abrasiveness " is one of your best qualities. ;)
I wouldn't ever change that if I were you. :smiling-face:

Oh thanks, I’m going to take a picture of your post and send it to my wife and kids and maybe they will think about liking me again!
 
I was trying to make it to at least Central Time but I guess it isn’t going to happen. I hope you all enjoyed your day. Good night peeps!

Night Kev!
 
Faced my fear this morning and climbed the tree stand that fell with me last time. It was not easy even though logically I know it can't fall again since it's actually now screwed into the tree with a lot of large screws. Emotionally I was terrified but I am here and I'm good. Now if some deer would come out I would be even more rewarding. LOL

Glad you faced your fear and I know a giant buck is going to walk out of the line!!!
Guy who hunts the few hundred acres to the west of me stopped after dark last night and asked me to help him track a deer he shot just before sunset. Unfortunately, it started snowing really hard right after he shot and we got an inch of snow in less then an hour covering the blood trail and tracks. We tried to find the track for 3 hours last night with no luck. Stupid snow. It was a beautiful buck, its the one I posted on my trailcam that walked up to me a couple weeks ago. Will help him again today and I believe he is bringing in the blood hounds to try and trail it, but it snowed all night. The wolves will probably have it gone anyway, cant leave anything in the woods over night here.

Nice! Good luck, hopefully you can find a big one and have some good eats for awhile.

Maybe he will get lucky and the wolves haven't found it. Where are you at that there are wolves? We only have coyotes here.
 
Northern Wisconsin. We have a lot of wolves which have mostly run the coyotes out, they can devour a deer in one night bone and all. Usually just some hair left on the ground when they are done, its crazy.
Coyotes here will do that as well. We have certain areas we will put carcasses and they will be fine the next day.

I get the DNR livestock depredation reports on wolf conflicts, its crazy how many there are. Several pet dogs make the reports also.
