1st post from new hook up at the farm ..

Post by R.J. »

Finally got hooked up with Execulink ...

Service seems OK ... a tad bit slower than my hook-up in the city , but it will do ..

Here are some pictures Sandman took when we were hunting together last week ...

We both had our climbers .. he was across the clear cut to my West ... he took this frame of me climbing up ... I always leave my hat off to keep cool and avoid sweating on the way up .. It's amazing how the uncovered hands and my bald head stand out ! :lol: :lol: like a light beacon ! :lol: :lol:

Image

I do the usual light contact grunts to cover the noise we made walking in and climbing , and soon after a young six point walks under my tree , stopping to feed at my 20 yard opening ...

Image

He is completely at ease , feeds and looks around ..

Image

Image

Image

Sandman turns the camera , to get a " vantage point " shot of my position in the tree relative to where the deer was ... my camo blends in nicely , with only my blaze orange arrow fletchings from the bolt in my Y25 Relayer and the spare bolt in the quiver giving away my position ... tough to focus through the branches ...

Image

Eventually he turns and walks away through my 10 yard opening ...
Another cool night out " watching the nature channel " ! :lol:

Image

Good luck to all that will still be pursuing " Hollow Hairs " over the next couple weeks !

Thanks all ...

I am noticing a big diffence now with the wireless high speed compared to the DSL I had in town ...

The download speed is not bad , but It takes much longer to upload ? :cry:

Oh well ... things you have to get use to living in the country !

I'll have to swap leonk a hunt for a PC tune up ! :lol:

With the down turn in car sales , we have cut back at the plant and will be doing no shutdown maintenance over Christmas Holidays ...

So from the 24th till the 31st I will be in the field with friends trying to capture some other special moments of the hunt !

Good luck to all ... 25 days to go here in Ontario ! ... I'm going to be watching the woods real close during the week of the 10th :wink:
