The bears on our land in PA love to rip the climbing sticks off the trees, leaving the hang on stand 20 feet up with no way to get to them. I hope one gets stuck on one of my hang ons next week during bear season! It'll make for easy hunting! HAHA

The guy was plum loco, but I seem to remember that the guys started slinging racial insults at the guy. My wife worked hard for our property, and I'll be damned if tresspassers will be allowed to steal its recreational value from us. Maybe these will be my famous last words...

Did you go to a preserve or guided hunt or do you got a buddy up here with some land? Last edited by Bluegillerkiller; 11/14/12 07:59 PM. I believe in catch and release.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color. Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Thanks for comments I never in the life of me thought I would get one that big. THe video kinda tells the story but passed three bucks bigger than any in my life earlier int he am but looks like I made the right choice. He is 171 3/8" A Gross Booner! I will post a pic in the other section. BGK I meet Mike OReilly, via Nate of course, and we became hunting buddies. He has invited me up to hunt three times. I just wonder how Im going to top this next year, lol. Greg Grimes www.lakework.com

I would be tickled just to see an animal of those sizes while on bow stand, let alone shooting one that big. I think I will now go back to "the kids table" where my hunting skills belong. Congrats to all!
