I'm just hoping I'm far enough back to avoid the 100 yard hunters around here. You know, the ones who walk in 100 yards from their truck and sit down.

LOL, yeah, that.
Tell us the story. Spare no details.
Fellin any better ol buddy?
Actually not a whole heck of a lot. I did caffeine myself up a lot this morning due to having a lot to do today. I’m so caffeinated up I probably won’t blink for 24 hours. Do you mind if I call you about 0200 in the morning if I can’t sleep?

One thing you can do is to give the cap a squeeze between your thumb and index finger to push it slightly out of round and thus tightening the fit.
Of course, nipple replacement is the better solution but squeezing is a doable method when you need one immediately.
You have elevated barking to limbing. Much more difficult given the small diameter of the twig!
This begs that you elevate your game to "grinning" the squirrel as Davey Crockett did. And, you can surpass Crockett in that he had to "take a rest" for his chin. Your challenge will be to do it "offchin" without a rest. Once you master this you could leave your Crockett at home. But we all know you would never do that although you might admit to never loading it.
Get all your chores done, get yourself a pan of cornbread, and some Amber Liquid and just take it easy the rest of the day.
Sounds good but I don’t cook. Would you mind driving to KY and make me some cornbread? I can get the corn squeezins to drink.

You'd be cured by the time I got there. Would give me an excuse to swing by the distillery for some shopping and free sample......

Finally got most of my do list completed. Been moving since early this morning. Got my ground blind put up and brushed in. I really do need to test shoot my crossbow but it can wait until tomorrow.
Won’t be able to hunt in the morning, darn it. Just found out I have paperwork to deal with for cataracts surgery.

Fellas I’m pretty wound up to hit the woods. I don’t think I’m this wound for turkey season. Man I can’t wait. Checking the weather channel for next Saturday, shooting,scouting. I’m like a kid the night before his first deer season opener. Is this normal??!?
Certainly it’s normal for squirrel hunting muzzleloader freaks. I know it’s true because I know someone like that. Next time I see him I’ll ask him to see what he thinks about this. He’s kind of strange though.

Yes, it's normal, that is if we are normal!

I love 100 yard hunters. They practically guarantee I will have the rest of the woods to myself…

I wish I were so lucky.
Okay, Stan.
It’s getting close but you still have plenty of time to practice up and get ready. Gotta bring home at least two squirrels on opening day. No pressure.
Dangit all! Ed's putting out bountiesOkay, Stan.
