I think I broke a State (if not Nationl) Record!
Handsome Rob replied to Handsome Rob's topic in Hunting and Fishing
Oh I agree absolutely! Don't get me wrong, I don't expect to shoot something at all, but to spend hundreds of hours in the woods without seeing anything bigger than a skwerl is pure disheartening. If I wanted to simply go somewhere for the solitude, I would find easier, more accessible places to go, go only when the weather's pleasant & go mid-morning, not 3am! I love just sitting in the woods, but with hunting there is at least a level of expectation to see your quarry. I'm not hunting Siberian Tigers here! It's not like Whietail are uncommon! There are frikkin' millions of them! You would think that by the Law of Averages, I should've seen something by accident! -
Well, i think it must be SOME kinda record. 32 days hunting deer this season, without seeing a single friggin' animal. I've seen one deer this year whilst hunting (opening day of bow season) & it's in the freezer. Frankly, I am glad that this season is over. I'm about fed up of the whole charade. I scouted well throughout the season, I found several places with lots of deer activity, I heard reports from those places of other people seeing lots of deer. I hunted all hours god sends, mornings, evenings, mid-days, all days; nothing. Not one single deer. I simply cannot understand what it is I'm doing wrong! I don't care that I'm not getting shots, there are plenty of folk that have hunted much longer than me without having taken a deer, but to simply not see them, even out of bow range (hell, even out of .243 range) is soul-destroying. The fact that I managed to stay motivated as long as I have is, honestly, miraculous. I have had hunts blown (2 yesterday!!) by other hunters & 1 game warden walking through my setup. I've had guys set up within 25 yards of me (Fall Creek Falls) I had a Father & Son set up 50 yards UPwind of me yesterday morning & another Father & Son team set up within 40 yards of me yesterday afternoon. I had a game warden follow my footprints through the snow to my stand. I had a guy at Fall Creek spotlight a doe that was crossng the road & looked like it may have been coming straight towards me (I forgot about that actually. I've seen 2 deer this year) I've sweated, frozen, twisted an already arthritic ankle, twisted & hurt my right knee. Been torn to shreds by saw-briars, tripped, fallen & generally made a wreck of myself. I've spent nights awake to be sure I could be out by 3am. I've bored myself to distraction, sitting in trees from 4am to 6pm without eating, reading, moving or doing anything other than staring into the woods. I even sank my boat tryin to find deer. I'm so hacked off with it that I'm seriously thinking that I'm not even going to bother next year. I thought last year was bad, I think saw a total of 14 deer last season, but this year has been a frustrating headache since day two (day one was pretty good!) I'm not looking for pity here folks. I just needed to vent!

What about the F**KING ZOMBIE CAT THAT'S LIVING IN MY BEDROOOOM!!!!!
-
Pretty nice from the carrying handle down. I'm with strick on the lighting. From there up, she's working her arms & shoulders too much. And I can't believe I'm saying this, but the implants are an overcompensation.
-
Aww, now that's just uncalled for Just because she's undead doesn't mean she doesn't have feelings.
-
ROFLMAO!!!!!

It would appear, I have an undead cat..... Anybody else got a zombie for a pet?

Huntin' shows that get on your nerves?
Handsome Rob replied to roverboy's topic in Hunting and Fishing
The only shows I ever watch these days are Predator Nation & Easton's Bowhunting TV, simply because Fred Eichler is a good friend & I can't help but get enthusiastic along with him. He also doesn't buy into all the 'gadget' crap. -

Submarine, loaded with hookers, beer & Big Macs. Mounted on a tank with wings on. And a WASP cannon. WASP is not an accronym, I really want a gun that shoots wasps. Seriously, how awesome would that be!

Personal physical fitness and its role for survival
Handsome Rob replied to 7dogguy's topic in Survival and Preparedness
If the S really ever does H the F, statistically speaking you're better off being 30-60lb overweight. A 6' tall, athletically built man can go about 3 days with no nutritional intake, with little or no side effects. A 6' tall man with a bit of a belly can go 4-5 days & will stay warmer......... Besides, fat people are harder to kidnap! -
Are your posted pictures giving more information than you want to share?
Handsome Rob replied to JAB's topic in General Chat
On the bright side, at least somebody knows where the hell I am! Seriously though, why on earth would you think that anyone would be looking for you in the first place? -
That's a beautiful mount, Rebel. Was it done locally?

Not with any hog I've come accross & I've hunted them in Texas, Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Namibia, South Africa & Spain. I'll take a week of hog hunting over a full season of deer. I love hog hunting! That kind of thing I have never, ever seen. OK, Their eyesight & hearing isn't perfect, but you simply cannot beat their noses. Wild hogs are very aware of what's going on around them & 99% of the time a wild hog will high-tail it as soon as it knows you're in the county. To see this behavior makes me think that it's a farm raised pig. That & the weight. Even in South America & Eastern Europe hogs rarely get to 400lb without man-supplied feed. Available forage simply isn't nutritional enough on it's own to let a hog get to that weight. Firstly I'd say that the film is of a free-ranging, farm raised hog & secondly I'd have to say (sorry y'all) that it died fairly quickly. Death ain't ever pretty & it's seldom as quick as you see on TV.
