The No-Shame Thread

I think Mike Waddell is awesome. He'll always have a place in my heart because his early Bone Collector videos were fun and exciting, and me and my dad would watch them in the ole Hurricane Katrina FEMA trailer we repurchased into our first deer camp.
 
"I always felt guilty when I went hunting when my kids were young. Even worse when I spent the day in a tree and did not see anything."

This a bunch. My daughter's are 4 and 6. If I was a trophy hunter and not a freezer filling hunter, I probably wouldn't hunt until they are teenagers and hate me 24/7.

I"ve got a 2 year old and 5 year old boy....I feel like crap every time I hit the woods in the morning. I"ve started taking the 5 year old to sit in a blind with me every couple of weeks in the evening, which has helped, but he only can last about 30 mins max....
 
I will kill any deer that walks by on public land. I will hunt a unattended stand on public. The most shameless part is I only hunt public with a bow so you can't tell when or what I have shot

Two biggest things that keep me from hunting and becoming a more accomplished hunter:

1) my distaste for getting up early (and how it wrecks my whole body to do so).

2) my guilt of leaving family for weekend hunts.

More than lack of scouting, access to good habitat, or any other factor (Dr Shepard's list or otherwise), these are my biggest limiting factors.

Lol. I think my cousin had hunted a couple of stands more than the guys that set them up.

(They just head to their hunting shack to illegally run atvs, dump trash in the woods, and otherwise mess things up)

My wife has worked one or both of my days off for as long as we’ve been married. When my son was born that was an end to mobile hunting for me. I cut had elevated blinds six feet to the floor so I could reach to slide him in his car seat into the blind before I climbed up. That’s how I spent most of my hunts. He was born in March and that October he was in the blind. As he got older and could climb and move less the blinds stayed but I added ladder stands and hang on. This year he’s saddle hunted public but he much prefers his box blind overlooking a food plot. He doesn’t love it like I do. He was also never been asked if he wanted to go until he turned 13 last year. Now he goes when he wants and stays home when he doesn’t. I never felt guilty about it.

Wrong thread, good sir. This is the confessional booth. The beech thread is over there, between the "when will my x ship" thread and "can I use a muddy rope as a harness" mountain.

Butt out tool always ends up with **** stuck to it and then you have to clean **** up. Who wants to do that? It does make it very easy to remove said butt hole but it’s not really that hard to do without the tool, is it? Version 2.0 just has a stop to keep you hand off of the hole???
