When do you start hankering for Halloween?

[Demonic Duck]

I'm so ready for Halloween. After having a sparse Halloween last year due to being unemployed I'm super excited to splurge a little this year! Plus my daughter will be about 1.5 years so while not quite ToT age yet I'm excited to have some fun with her!

Oh, fun times ahead with your little one!

Indeed there are. We also recently found out that my wise had a new parasite growing in her!

Congrats! The years when you are building your family are challenging, but so exciting!

That's why I'm building mine out of Legos. If I don't like them, I can just switch out the pants or the heads or whatever.

Just don't step on them!

1 1/2 isn't too young, just grab a wagon & head down the street! That's what we're doing this year with our little guy (who will turn 2 on 10/30). The wagon will be decorated with web and battery-powered orange & purple LED lights, calling it the "Hallowagon"!

This weekend I went bow hunting for some venison for the family freezer. The season has been open a while, but I have been up to my eyeballs in court and cases I'm working on to get to court. Long story short, I've been a tad mean lately. Its all I can do to keep from taking hostages.

So I got down to my hunting club and the guys I hunt with have all these Halloween do-dads hanging on our club house. Bats, jack-o-lanterns, witches, vampires all over the place. They took my bunk and covered it in store bought spider webs and then had a remote controlled spider to crawl under my bed before I go to sleep. That didn't scare me since I like spiders, but when we turned out the lights I saw two red eyes staring at me from the ceiling. They had taken those glow in the dark eyes and had them staring at me. Crazy thing was that even though I knew it was fake, it was actually kind of creepy having red eyes stare at you.

Before sunup I'm up in my tree stand waiting for a big buck to show up. Sun is coming up real slow and finally I can see....They had taken one of those life size toy skeletons and put it part way behind a tree. It was meant to be like it was peering around the tree as if hiding and looking up at me. Then I looked in another direction and saw they had a plastic jack-o-lanterns sitting on a stump staring at me.

It was soooooo tempting to take my bow and see if I could hit them, but I decided to wait, to see if any deer would show up.

By 7pm it was almost dark and I had not even seen a squirrel or a crow.(highly unusual) So...I took careful aim and sent a Magnus 100 grain broadhead into Mister Jack-O-Lantern.

The head of the skeleton was too small to aim for without possibly tearing up one of my arrows.

I took the skeleton and jack-o-lantern back to the clubhouse and we had a good laugh. I hunted all day Sunday but struck out both days.

I'm told they have put other things on my other two tree stands and I guess I'll find out this weekend.

Oh, they got you good, Kolchak! They must have been planning it for a long time!
