Looks like another great weekend at Twin Oaks. I don't know what my minus days are BearG. I'm playing it by ear. I guess I just have to be patient.

The younguns done good it looks like. I can't wait to come down. Pappy I'll call you after Katelyn's surgery and give you a guestimation when I'll be down.

Great ,hope all goes good. Bear .see ya Sat.

Hunted yesterday and man are the bucks running and scraping,never seen as many scraps,had a really nice buck[couldn't tell how many points]
but he was big come in at about 5:15 missed him at 15 yards,right under. I have gotten to where
I can't hear,I can hear but only out of one ear so it is hard to tell where stuff is coming from,I thought he was coming from the left and he stepped out right under my stand to the right then went behind me.I got the shot when he came up to the left, Should have shot the little doe out in front of me, ;)o well maybe today.It was exciting just the same.

I counted 9 scraps on the way to the Aunt Jamima stand. Hope it holds up for another couple of weeks.

May take that long for me to hit one.

Don't feel like your alone Pappy...I can't hear in Stereo any more either....65% deaf in my Right Ear...and it sure screws you up when it's like that....can't tell directions of any noises heard...you drop something on the floor...and have no idea which way it went...footsteps in leaves don't have any definite directions...it's hell getting old...ain't it.......

I've got the same problem with the left ear, Pappy. I couldn't tell where a turkey was when he gobbled. I got that Walker Quad Ear Muffs and that solved my problem.

I was going to suggest Mark get a walker game ear. The guys I know that have them love them. Unless its a windy day then off they come. I tried a cheap version acouple years ago but between the jets, crows, and nieghbors it was to loud. Not to mention every squirrel souned like big Lou was comiing in.

Yeah Bear I got me a Walker Game Ear, and man it is the cats meow.

If you get the quad muff's, they have a fine tune that you can get rid of the wind and planes.

Mike,
I'm not even 30 and have 60% hearing loss in my left ear

Pappy · « **Reply #5455 on:** November 03, 2010, 05:40:06 am »

Thanks guys,I have tries some aids but the just made the rattling and gurgling louder in the bad left ear,doc said I had lost 90% in that ear and was nothing to do about it.O well thats life.
I did figure out yesterday how to come away from the stand not dissopinted ,

Don't shoot.

I had that little doe by yesterday,closer this time,10 yards or so.She keeps it up and she will go in the freezer.

Heard some running behind me[At least I think it was behind me]

but didn't see anything. I will give it a go again this evening.I plan on hunting every evening this
week.

So I guess to many years around diesles and shooting guns with no protection.

I saw some good news came out of the elections for you Tennessee folks. Congrats on the Right to Hunt Amendment. We sure could use that in NY, but the NYC crowd would never allow it. Maybe you guys need some more Yankees down there!

We been seeing deer but rutting activity has not heated up yet. This weekend should heat things up. We are looking at cold temps and a dusting of snow in Western NY. I did manage to take a small doe opening weekend. I have not heard from Davey or Hole in the Bow Chuck.

Ya Glenn I think it passed at somewhere around 90%.Should help us down the road.

Not sure what happened to my hearing Bear,it all happened in just a few days,The doc said that some kind of Viral infection went through ,done its damage and moved on.It was almost overnight.

I always seem to get things that can't be fixed,so you just have to suck it up and move on.

By the way see 4 bucks yesterday,I saw the big one again ,had him at about 25 yards coming straight at me,then he got a whiff of something [I guess] he didn't like and turned and walked straight away,Seen another nice 8 with short tines but nice spread and a 6 and 4 I think at about 40 yards or so. Good evening.

They were just Trolling. No Does around that I seen.

Well I hope I will bring you some good luck. Just got to make it trough today and tomorrow.
I guess with as many ear infections as I get the next time the doc say tubes maybe I should suck it up and get them.
