You are forgetting the shotgun for the turkeys.

 

[Moosie]

LOL... I'll throw it in the truck, If they cross the road waybe I'll let loose

I just spent Over an Hour with the kids unloading friggin Hostes cakes...I hated the Mini Muffins...You had to get IN the box.. then Unwrap each little package... I liked the bread the best

Got pictures.. Will post Sunday

HAVE to get kids in bed.. THEN run t oBoise to get my truck from Mojaves house.. THEN hook up the trailor, Load the barels, Load the bait, Lay out the cloths... PAck the bags... ALL for a stinking Bear bait

But when I shoot Mr Cub this year.. It will be worth it !!!!

 

[Elkhunter]

Well no one said it was easy to bair bait.

Have fun

 

[Moosie]

[ELKCHSR]

Well good luck, I sure hope all the coons and other little furry critters don't eat every thing before the big ones show up!!!

 

[Moosie]

WOW.. out all morning... 5AM came early... Set up 2 stands... I didn't realize how much Twinkies weighed

I would have much rather packied the 50#'s of Dog food !!!!

Elkgunner was a trooper, He was recovering from being sick and made me still feel old... I'm not looking fowrad to when He's healthy

WELL... Just got home... now Heading back out to Check on Site one.... See ya'll LATE tonight or Tomorrow !!

PS.. It's suposed to be April.. I got a Frigging SUNBURN today !!!! OUCH !!!

 

[Elkhunter]

That's it? WTF kind of story was that?

 

[ELKCHSR]

Must have fried the talk out of him, hanging in the sun all day!!!

 

[JoseCuervo]

The Twinkies on the pack frame are the easy ones to pack. It is the twinkies around the middle that make the packing the hardest...

 

[Elkhunter]

LMAO

They can be a killer can't they?

 

[Moosie]

Dohhhhh.... YAH that was it, I had about 5 mins Time on the computer.

We set a tree stand at the first location. It was one that Elkgunner suggested. We found a nice hole next to a rock just on the backside of this ridge. We saw some geese that we seemed to kick out of there area and they weren't to happy

there is a nice stump for a rifleman to sit behind, and the Treestand that is onlt 15 yards away. I'll need to get mopre pegs I was a few short to be safe, but the main place is set up.

The second place we loaded the rest of the Gooddies up and crossed the river again. it is onlt about 18 miles from the first place. Will be a great location. Dug a pit and dumped the loads.

I got back An I forgot to tell the wife I was leaving right away again so I needed to watch the boys and get some stuff done for her to run to the store. She returned and I went up with Dinger to our spot. Since we had bears hitting already we sat on it.. No luck last night but we did have several Loud obnocious Turkeys Gobbleing all evening... I'm 1/2 tempted to bring a shotgun next time to shut them up

Theres your story Elkhunter

 

[Elkhunter]
