1) The kind who call you up before opening weekend and ask how the deer are looking. Or they call you in early May and ask how your boat is running? Are the specks on the beach yet? What's your schedule like the next couple of weekends?

Are you this guy? Don't be this guy.

2) And then there are the kind who call you months before the season. And bring two trucks worth of equipment. And help you fix leaking plumbing. Or replace a rusted hot water heater in July. Etc. Etc. You know who you are.

Many thanks to the OBers on this board who have helped get the season started. You need not be called by name.

This weekend's build was a Kid and Family Friendly Deer Stand Staircase. Looks simple enough. Three carpenters and an assistant never took a break and finished in 7 hours.









And finally, the View To the Kill from inside the hot box. Great to have this one online before Youth Weekend in two weeks. Food Plots are coming on pretty good. This rain will get them into the Nitrogen and they will start rolling.

Last time I was on a deer lease, I was building shoot houses, I don't hunt.
Fishing, I like to fish alone and do it as often as I can.

You to know you don't have to build to the CFR for a shooting house? I appreciate over engineering, but I've never seen a deck on a stand before.

I've got a lot of 1's and a couple of 2's. You really know who your buddies are when you get a tractor/truck buried up and no help in sight.

Hey Buddy,

You need me to call my friend at Mississippi Power and light to drop you a power line for your deer stand. Sure would be nice to add central air and heat with a full kitchen.


Looks good No Colors

Went to the camp last week. Power had been out and the freezer full of fish thawed and rotted. Called my buddy that I own the place with and got "Bet that stinks pretty bad". Needless to say I spent the next few hours, alone, cleaning and gagging.

You left out another. The guy you go fishing with and catch like a dozen crappie, which you let him have. Then fish again and catch one bass a gives it to you to make up for the dozen crappie.

Luckily i hunt with immediate family, and most are somewhere in between 1 and 2. Dad is definitely a 1, and could care less when we show up, as long as we show up.
