Just to warm the cockles of the many antique gun-loving hearts here:
Today it is pouring rain here in northcentral PA, and so I holed up in the cabin, put out some doe pee at 85 yards uphill at 5:30am, and have a fine British double rifle at each of two windows upstairs, and a 1937 German combination gun at another window. If I can't take them for a walk, then by God, they will do sentry duty, and perhaps take an inquisitive doe.

Many years ago we learned to use the cabin as a hunting blind in the same horrendous conditions as we face today. If we stay out of the woods for a few days before deer season, these skittish animals can usually be induced with doe pee to come by for a visit. If we are quick enough to spot them, we can fill some tags. And yes, it is nice to have a bathroom and kitchen at hand

Thanks, Brent! Yesterday was beautiful out, but the breezes were variable, and the several deer that did come near me winded me before I could get a solid bead on them. Frustrating.

But the drawback is no self-respecting racked buck will ever appear anywhere within rifle range of it. A big buck is just too wary. So we are contented to fill our doe tags here, when we can. Makes for a super short drag and yeah, fresh coffee. Getting older has its benefits

Gotta wear orange inside?

Rob and Geo - YES! We must wear our orange inside, too. 250 square inches on chest, back and head combined.
