My truck has the commercial stickers on each side.
Many people retrieve rather than discover. Especially after the west bend event each year.
My truck is a trackable, too. But I have my TB set as not collectible, so you can’t retrieve it, only discover. The bad thing about that is that I can still drop it in a cache, and if I accidently do that, I have to go back and change it to collectible, grab it, then change it back to non-collectible. (Yes, I’ve done that)

Just a reminder, that after Deer Gun season, there is still blackpowder season, another doe only T-zone hunt and a late bow hunt season…till the end of December..I think?
Yes, but the traditional 9-day season is when the majority of the hunters are out. At least around here.

or areshould be camo’d enough to avoide detection by a hunter.
Yes, assuming that the last person who found it put it back correctly. I’m not worried about any of mine that are on public lands, except one. All the rest are peanut butter jars and other inexpensive containers, but I do have one ammo can out there. I’m thinking I’ll put a temporary cache out in its place until after hunting and then return the ammo can. It also has trackables in it that I’d hate to see lost.

. Adding Cubmaster to my duties this year was pretty much the deciding factor.
A parent only has a very small window of time in which to have an impact on his son (or daughter), and that time is now…
The time that I spent as Cubmaster and Scoutmaster with my son were some of the best times of my life. My son has been out of Scouting for 6 years now, but I am still HEAVILY involved. Thank you, GR, for taking the time and making the effort to make an impact not only on your son, but o all the Cubs in your Pack.

Hunting by day, maybe a few caches by late afternoon/night. Also, for sure a couple caches on the way to and from the hunting grounds. (nice way to break up a 4 hour drive from Kenosha to La Crosse area)
That sounds good, but there aren’t any caches between my house and my hunting grounds, there’s just a hay field 😀

And as a side note, while I know there are some extreme hunters out there, believing most are drinking, don’t handle their weapon safely or don’t know their target and what is beyond it, covers such a minute percentage of hunters I’m getting tired of being thrown in with them because I choose to hunt when others don’t!
Agreed. I’ll be in my stand well before daybreak, armed with my thermos of coffee, trail mix, and jerky. Those hunting on my land will have been briefed on where everyone else is, and no one moves without notifying the rest of us. We used to carry walkie-talkies, now we take our cell phones and call or text each other to communicate. I need to find a buck-grunt ringtone 😆
Unless we have a very successful opening weekend, I won’t be caching until the tags are all filled. I was hoping to get the Bakers Dozen challenge finished before hunting, but it doesn’t look like I’ll have much time between now and then to cache. Knew I should have left some of those park ‘n’ grabs for the short days 😀
Congratulations on 3K, Lacknothing!
I went to my first mega-event at West Bend this summer. Often there was a line of people passing the cache container from one to another with instructions on how to re-hide it. On several caches I never experienced a “find,” nor did I re-hide the cache, passing it on to another cacher instead. These were NOT my favorite caches of the event. I found it interesting that there were complaints about the caches at the Cache Bash being too spread out this year, though the farthest caches from downtown were among my favorites. There was even one where I did not see another person for almost half an hour. 😀
The few times that I have bumped into other cachers while searching for an FTF … might have only been once now that I think about it … we made introductions first, then agreed to share the FTF and work together to make the find.

How ’bout a “Chili Dump”, where everyone brings 1 Qt. of their favorite chili recipe and it all gets dumped into one kettle???
The problem with that is that you’ll get people that bring tomato soup with ground beef and noodles in it and contaminate all the real chili 😉
Congrats on the milestone. That’s a lot of caches!!
spider bite?
Congratulations jstajlr. I started out hot and heavy on this one, but fell off as it became harder to get to the RRs I needed. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish this one up before the snow gets too deep to drive down some of these roads. 😆
Congratulations on your first milestone.
