The No-Shame Thread

I told myself that this season I will hunt harder than ever since I have first child coming in a few months and I figure once she is born, thats it for me and my time in which I plan to sell all of my hunting gear. This has been the least amount of hunting I have done in a season since starting. Today I went metal detecting for old coins rather than bow hunt.

I feel for you.... So what do you have to sell cheap! Kids cut into the amount of free time for sure, but your hunting is not over unless you want it to be. Congrats and wish you guys a healthy and memorable birth experience!
 
One more from me. With all the fancy AmSteels and light weight strap options going on now, I like the big clanky LW buckle straps the best out of all of them I’ve tried so far.

Also I’m running the Mission platform this year and love it. I see why everyone has a problem with the bump on the bottom of it but I don’t actually mind it at all.

Oh let's see...

I do miss my climbers. Matter of fact I'm selling 2 this week. Keeping my summit of course.

I despise that work always gets in the way of a good cold front.

I decided this year I was just going to bow hunt. Im enjoying it so far but I am getting a itch for pulling a trigger.

I'll probably buy my first new bow this coming year even tho it will piss off my wife.

I havent bought the same beer in months maybe over a year. I been drinking whatever looks interesting by the label. Havent really been let down. Sours and ipas are some of my favs.

I miss pouring Jim beam in my black coffee.

I have yet to make it to a deer stand this year before daylight. (Daddy duties)

And I hate my neighbor killed a big buck less than 400 yards from my front door. Hell with him. Lol

I wish I had the desire and fire to go hunt like I once did.

I enjoyed pig hunting at saddleploosa more than the last five deer seasons.

I enjoy turkey hunting more than deer hunting.

I haven’t hunted in three years
Year one work interrupted
Year two shoulder surgery
Year three I haven’t wanted to go, work interrupted, COVID.
I don’t miss it as much as I thought I would.

Thats too bad,,,Can we recommend some therapy?
 
Yeserday evening, I snuck in a quick hunt after work. In a ladder stand.

As I sat in the sleet watching my flappers freeze over, I pondered what poor choices led me to sit in a tree watching a coat of ice form on mechanical broadheads. Would they even work? Or would that crust would prevent them from deploying.

It was my sketchiest climb all year.

I've wanted to switch up my arrow build for 2 years now...but haven't.
 
I hate climbing trees with every single climbing method that exists.
I miss the old days of sitting a random shooting house/ladder stand at the club, coming back to camp early, napping all day, and watching a nice food plot in the evening.
Public land scares me because I don’t trust anyone I encounter. I only hunt public now.
I feel guilty every. Single. Time. I leave my wife and kids to hunt for a day.
I can’t wait to buy hunting property so I can walk nice mowed paths to an insulated blind and drink coke, listen to a football game, and eat snacks while I sit and wait.
Encounters with deer have become my goal. I missed a nice 8 last week and I’m okay with it.
Turkey hunting might become my new favorite.
Trying to “out do” others by crossing creeks, water access, long hikes, etc. is getting old and beginning to impact my motivation to go out.
I can’t get the butt out tool off my mind now because of this thread. I feel like I HAVE to try it, ya know, for research.
 
No shame huh?
Well no ones said it so I will.
The reason most of us have issues with using the butt-out tool is we all know it not right to stick something in ANYTHINGS BUTTHOLE!!
You might as well say you’re “bi-curious”!

I also think Flo is hot!
 
Alright, here goes. I despise the word "Mature Deer"!! My time in the woods is precious. Like a lot of hunting shows that I really enjoy watching, I don't hunt 30-60 days a year.
So, if I want to fill my fill my freezer, and a "mature" year and a half old walks in front of me, I'm flinging arrows or pulling the trigger!
And I say it's mature because it's as mature as it's gonna get. Totally unashamed

I shot the smallest buck last weekend that I have shot in the last 13 years because I didn't want to sit through this ridiculous warm front and I have tags in others states to hope for better hunting weather. Zero shame at all. The heart taco's that night were fantastic.
 
Ok, here goes. I hunt from ladder stands......a lot. I've personally shot a deer that I carried out with one hand( I felt really bad about that one.) I sometimes drink hard cider. I prefer duck hunting over deer hunting. I still shoot muzzy three blades. I was given a Butt Out tool as a gag gift and used it......a lot. I have a 15 year old bottle of Henry Mckenna in my cupboard that has never been opened. Oh yes, I almost forgot. I troll Nutters youtube channel.
 
-I sometimes pass ground bear off as venison to family and friends

-I still own treestands...I hunt from them regularly

-I have a ladder stand on my property, I sometimes hunt from it when its Butt cold out--I"m thinking about buying another one...

- I dont think I own any camo from the last 2 decades

-I haven't used my college degree in 12 years...and I think the last time was to level my desk with the diploma because the case was just the right thickness

-I shot my trad bow for the first time yesterday since buying a cross bow...I enjoy shooting it, but I"m a hell of a lot more confident in the woods wtih the crossbow, though I still group to 20ards great wtih the recurve

-I work at a desk and hate it with a passion

-I"ve bought 5 sets of WE steps and tried them every time and sold them within a week

-I LOVE rubber boots

-I love the winter, but I hate bow hunting when its cold and snowy
