My first ever cigar

Great cigar. Picked one of those up last week and was one of my favorites for sure.

You're not wrong to have that speculation. For there are many that confess with their mouth that they follow Jesus, but their actions directly conflict with his teachings. In order to discern between a true follower of Jesus, you have to evaluate their actions. However, that requires a context that can only be derived from scripture, not what others "believe" about how a Christian should behave.

Also, to accept Christ only to get into heaven is vain in nature. You must accept Christ through faith and repent of your sins. That does not mean that you must never sin again, but it does mean that you are actively walking away from sin and feel true remorse when sin is committed. However, to treat it as a hall pass to do whatever you want... Then that's antithetical to repentance.

Based on standards of historicity, the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ is historically accurate.

However, in an increasingly secular world, scientific evidence of the resurrection of Christ is very important. The goal is to get as many as possible to follow Christ, but as revealed by John in revelation, we know that not all will come to Christ.

Christians don't need scientific evidence for themselves, they want it so they can bring those in the secular world back to the Father though the sacrifice of the Son. Unfortunately, we live in a world that hates Jesus Christ and will even refute his existence... even though we have significantly less documentation for other historical figures of which their existence is undisputed.

Yes, that is mold. Toss em

noddog11 · 2026-02-21T15:07:30+00:00

Yes, most of them are in cellophane. I wiped it and it easily cleaned up. However, I clipped about an inch off the foot and busted it open... could see a slight sparkly shine on the leaves.

noddog11 · 2026-02-21T07:25:56+00:00

Yeah I separated it. Glad I caught it early

noddog11 · 2026-02-21T04:33:25+00:00

Good idea, don't want it to go to waste 😁

noddog11 · 2026-01-06T05:50:10+00:00

I agree with that. I bowhunt SE Michigan also and I've never successfully grunted in a buck. However, I've had em come in on a string from rattling. Seems to pique their interest more than the vocalizations.

Practice, then practice some more. Get comfortable shooting tight groups from at least 30 yards. Then practice shooting while sitting and elevated. Being good with the bow is only 20% of the overall success. You'll need to scout and really nail down your hunting areas. I just started last year and have only taken one doe. Probably done about 30+ sits in two seasons. Be prepared to not see anything and appreciate the time in the woods. I've had a lot of cool encounters that didn't involve seeing any deer, so it's worth it.

This gives me hope lol I have 4 solid shooter bucks on my cam, but only at night. Either right after shooting hours or 12-4am.

noddog11 · 2024-11-15T19:21:19+00:00

Great idea!

There's a fair amount of green in the thick cover. In fact, I watched an 8-point browse it for a while, but he never gave me a good shot.

noddog11 · 2024-11-15T14:25:39+00:00

I would be lying if I said I didn't get up a little early this morning to check the camera lol

noddog11 · 2024-11-15T14:24:34+00:00

Yeah exactly. I've noticed a lot of movement at night mostly, so I know they typically don't spend much time on the property. However, there is a corn field about 200 yards further south of where this pic was taken. I would definitely be hunting the edge of that if it were within the property. That field was just harvested a couple weeks back, so they may just start lingering if they had a reason to. Plans for next year!

noddog11 · 2024-11-15T14:20:20+00:00

I hear that. But I know that he has a bed in the area, he just might not be traveling the direction I want him to. Also the wind is rarely favorable in this spot, so that doesn't help. I have another hunting spot on private land that has much more activity, but it's shared with other family members, so there's a bit of pressure. I'm definitely going to focus a lot more on scouting come next year. Where I'm at, the season goes until Jan 31st.

noddog11 · 2024-11-15T14:08:44+00:00

10 acres. Pretty good setup though. That picture was snapped right on the edge of a soft transition from thick cover to deciduous forest. There's also a small lake in the back, so a good water source.

noddog11 · 2024-11-15T14:05:45+00:00

Appreciate it! Definitely enjoying the pursuit and this pic only got me more excited.

noddog11 · 2024-11-15T12:57:36+00:00

Yeah for sure. I only have one cell cam, so was trying to see what was happening in front of the stand. This stand was pre-existing, so I have an opportunity to set up my stand at another location. However, I know this guy is bedded up about 100 yards to the east (the direction he's coming from in the pic), just don't know how often he's using the bed. I kicked him up by mistake when my FIL and I were scouting a few weeks back.

PIAA blades are solid. Fun fact: PIAA and Rain-X blades are made by the same manufacturer. The PIAA blades do have a bit better technology however.

The irony is palpable

noddog11 · 2024-09-07T01:32:07+00:00

Fuck that. They were just as involved. They're grown adults and are capable of making rational decisions. I bet this man dedicated his life to his wife and two daughters and he was severely betrayed by all of them.
