I'm taking the pistol w/me to the stand this year along w/the muzzleloader. Should be interesting. I'm getting some smallies and walleyes for my pond, and the delivery date is Saturday of all things. I guess enough people complained that they at least moved the time up to noon. Good luck to all. I know I feel a lot safer after deer season. Both my son and sister hit deer within days of each other. Son was pretty critical but should be ok. I had a pair chasing cross in front of me last night coming home.
