Get out your long handles and mucklucks.

Yeah, they are calling for snow showers late Saturday/early Sunday.
Saturday is the first day of the early PA Black Powder deer season.
Deer will be on the move getting some grub time in before the temps drop and the snow flies.

If you'd only planted that clover for cover in your garden, you can just shoot 'em out your kitchen window :fuckYeah:
Don't ask me how I know.

:lmfao: brat.
One of our prepping friends in the cabin neighborhood suggested I do similar. Specifically, put a salt block out and cover it with apples a couple of times a week.
Then about a week before hunting season stop the apples.
On the day hunting season starts: Get a cup of coffee, raise the window over the field where the treats were and wait for your deer to come by.
When I get a bit older...Well we will see.
On another note: I have another friend with similar prepper tendencies who doesn't wait for the beginning of deer season. Any deer that goes into his "winter prepped garden" ends up in the freezer. :hiding:

Been cool down here in the mornings.. 85 in the day though!
Be careful with that John, I know in NM it's not lawful to discharge a firearm with 150yrd of a home.. even your own.. if that makes any sense..

It's 500 feet in RI and PA of a occupied house or building ThatGuy. Any distance OK at your house.
As a matter of fact it is the first day of the early black powder season here for Doe. It's a week long and ends on the 24th.
The first day of this season I go out at first light (0645 hrs) but the rest of the week I am strictly an afternoon hunter.
Here in PA you can use an in-line or cap-lock rifle in the early season. So I am using my .50 cal cap-lock rifle today. Loaded her up with 80 grains of 3F, a felt wad and a .490 round ball wrapped with a .023 thick patch. Using a #11 cap on the nipple. This should do the trick if any doe is stupid enough to walk in front of me at 50 yards or less.
Today I will be hunting with no glasses as my frames are being fitted for new lenses. Lately, I shoot better using iron sights with no glasses anyway...Hence the new lenses ;)
Just took Dorothy out for her morning constitutional and although the stars were out, nice and bright, I could see flurries in the beam of my flash light. I guess there is no stopping it - Winter is on its way.
Wish me luck. :dancingBanana:
