The No-Shame Thread

Here it is. It's a big one.
I have passed on shooting coyotes now a few times while hunting.

I was telling my wife about hunting and how I would take any shot a coyote offers me, she asked me why, I said because they kill deer, she said so do you.

Got me thinking. Why do I have such a hate for coyotes? They're just doing what they do out there.
 
I avoided this thread all week. Shame time.

Have hunted in Michigan for over 10 years. I think bow hunters are classier than slob pumpkin army gun hunters. I think mobile hunters are classier than "my favorite stand spot" hunters. I think people who take shots when it's too dim to see exactly what they're after are people who make unwise choices. Got my first MI deer ever Sunday night. I was dressed like a pumpkin. Sitting on a stool in a spot I picked out months ago for rut/gun season, not in a tree. With my .450, at 20 yards, sun was going down and I thought it was a doe. It turned out to be a button buck. At least I wasn't in a ground blind, I guess.

I was watching youtube videos in the dark trying to figure out how to field dress him because everything I thought I knew blew right out of my head. I get queasy when I see blood. Lord he was a mess at the end. I didn't even do the chest cavity, most it was vaporized and I thought I'd get sick. He wasn't big enough for it to matter much anyway. My wife finished cleaning him at home. She doesn't hunt.

For 10 years I successfully avoided accidents in the woods. Last year I had my first woods-shart, with horrible upset stomach. Sat down over a deadfall and finished up, cut up my ruined boxers for TP. Saw the trail cam behind me after I finished up. Had a serious dignity fight with myself right there: steal his card or walk away? Pretty sure I'm famous among his friends now, but I ain't a thief.

I single-stick climb to hunt off the ground mostly because I'm tethered in the whole time. I'm terrified of heights. I cannot talk my 15yo son into climbing a tree either, but know he'd have more success if he did. I was terrified he'd get a deer in MI before me.
 
I have worked only 1 day so far this month and I haven't gone out hunting once. I only work 3 more days this month and may only hunt 3 to 5 days.

I recommended we go to Disney to celebrate the craptacular 2020 we have had so far. I really really hate that place too. I hate crowds and rides. Plus all the good food I couldn't eat due to Celiac's.

Since there are a couple of admitted killer's posting in this thread, this is some shame on me not for knowing but using. Learn to doe bleat with your voice, just a soft slightly nasally short bleat. Then when a big doe come in with little ones, shoot the big doe first and nock another arrow. Now is the time to use that doe bleat skill with a short series of short nasally bleats. When the little ones come back wait for them to get broadside or slightly quartered away. This works best early season when the freezer is more likely to be empty anyway. Easier to get to 20 two or three at a time...
 
Oh the shame....Since I was a pre teen 95% of the time when I go hunting I get so anxious I have to poo. It has never went away. I use to try and hold it in which my step mother hated me for since she wouldn't let me use the washing machine. I also use to pray to God to just let me throw up instead. I now just accept it and don't try and hold it in anymore. I always have toilet paper, it's a must. Yes I wiped my ass with just about everything in the woods. Toilet paper is the best, trust me. I've tried everything there is to poo before getting to the woods and so far nothing has worked. If you hunt the same places I do I'm sorry and i know I should have buried it better. I use to be so embarrassed by this, but I now think its hilarious. I always look for trail cams the best I can with the limited time I have. The consistency of the poo is always the same which is weird to me.

In the mid life era of my life here. Wake up and drive 45mins to go hunt. No matter what I eat or do. 99% I get nervous and gotta lay one down. It's private, but no access to the old house. No place to bury it in the yard. Use a bag and toss it at the gas station later. I have contemplated the LugaLoo. Or the bumper toilet seat insert. But the bags are cheap and have a bunch from the grocery store. It makes the hunt much more enjoyable not thinking about pooping your pants. I had to come to the conclusion it's better to just get it over with.
When I was 13 I thought I would be fine one afternoon. Half way to my spot I had to make a dash back. Yeah... didn't end well.
I think as I hunter you have to learn to be one with the woods. If a bear sits in the woods. So can you.

Gruntin' grease for a trail cam is wrong on so many levels.
 
Even though I bought a 450 last year......I pretty much despise gun season.

Now that I’m getting back in the swing of things......I once again don’t like my wheel bows either.

Sounds like you definitely need a 2-panel saddle...

...or would that be a "#2-panel saddle" ???

Have you considered changing your username to "WigginsThePooh" ??

Or how about "AspenWiped" ??

Say that one a couple of times, eh? ehh? Alright, I am done with the bad poo-related dad jokes...
