... Any of you southerners wanna trade a duck hunting trip for a musky fishing trip? Haha
That reminds me. Has anyone ever suggested starting a forum for trading hunts on here. It would be a good way for members to get some great hunts in in areas where they have never hunted and maybe make some new hunting buddies for life.

Pass on the musty or whatever, but I know a place you can at least kill wood ducks

man I love this thread. Yeti wife is so good…
Lol this has been a great "where the heck are the deer there were tons here a few weeks ago" sitting in the tree read. -i hate that I don't know if I'm doing something wrong.
I hate when newbies spout off like they know everything, even though I've done it more than once. I also hate how experienced people shame and attack new hunters " should have let him go another year" and all that.
I hate how (seemingly other than here for the most part for some wonderful but unknown reason) the hunting world seems to be very secretive and protective, it doesn't make sense, people want more hunters, but then don't want to share knowledge unless they can gain some in return. Not saying to put newbies like me on your target buck, but last year sucked for me until a member here told me about a different property to hunt and lo and behold I started seeing deer quite a bit more. Pretty much all yearlings and such but it's at least giving me deer to learn from rather than empty woods. You know who you are, thank you!
I hate how I get sucked into the gear- I have about 100 times the amount of time to screw around on the internet than I do to go out, so that's part of it.
I hate how hard it is to practice hunting from a tree where I am -cant shoot in the back yard.
I hate how much I sweat doing just about anything. Scent control? Sheesh.
I hate how people hate on using blood trail/tracking dogs to recover a deer.
Oh yeah, I hate how people insert politics into everything, particularly hunting (again, more on FB and other cesspools). I don't give a crud who you vote for, shoot a deer.
More later
