Good stuff!!!
Bossman,
Since you posted those great skunk pictures, I recall a few years back, the FWC had an on going survey about skunks. I thought it was unusual as we see 'em dead on the road quite often. Don't see as many live ones as dead ones on the road in the panhandle. Some seem to have more white than others, makes 'em easier to see and gives me a better chance of "steering clear"!

Well, I got the skunk stand up! It is only about 100 yards from my other stand but in an area that is more in bow range. Now I have 4 scrapes within 15 yards and my longest shot will be about 30 yards. I found out one thing for sure and that is that I'm getting to old for this kinda stuff... Hang a ladder and a lockon was just about more than I could take. 3 trips into the area and trimming all the vines off of the tree. Then I had one hell of a time getting the lockon in the right place and still be tight. I was drenched from head to toe with sweat time it was all over and i got back to my truck. Now to see if he will be a shooter or not.

Hey Bossman,
After all that work he'd be a shooter in at my camp! Hope he's a big one and you have to have help loadin' him in the truck! You ain't old enough to be doin' all that gruntin" and sweatin', you're supposed to leave that part to me :crip , you know I ain't had to pay for a license for several years now :clap .
All the rules are changing here in the panhandle, in zone D we now have a deer unit north of I-10 and a unit south of I-10. Different regs on how many points, don't have a doe week any more but some weekends that we can kill a doe. If you're a youth you can still bust a spike, that's a good thing.
Like the kids say, "Whatever!".
