TSC has been selling the mats for ages . They also have Stall Mats that are 3/4" thick for $40 . I didn't realize they cost that much as my SIL has her run-in in the barn for the horses covered with these . Can't believe she would have spent that much money on mats . TSC also has a UTV with a dump bed for under 6 grand . Here is the link for it . https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/american-landmaster-trail-wagon-tw450e-series-4x2-utility-vehicle-429cc-efi-engine?cm_vc=-10005

I have a ladder stand back by the ditch at my friend's property in Walworth . With some trees down and dead wood around it might be better to hunt from that stand in the afternoon when I can sneak in quietly . I put up a ladder stand that appears to have deer travel near it . I like to have them around 20 yards from any travel corridors . I will have to go back with the pole trimmer to get a few high branches . I cut down and pulled down a lot of poison ivy . Left the glove I used in the woods . I carried two of the ladder sections , loppers and rachet straps on the 1st trip . I went back for the top seat section and stepped on something about 6' from the tree I was going to put the stand in . It was 1/2 of an antler for an 8 point .

Too bad that all the damn geese don't fly South !

I leave the ATV on the trailer and walk 3/4 mile to a stand . I'll be 76 next week and starting to slow down . When I get a deer , it's the same walk back to the trailer to get the ATV and return . Still waiting for the GVHC to cut the 5' high grass in the Pond Field so I will have a trail to ride on .

The trail is about 25-30 yards from the swamp . My friend bought the property because he likes to duck hunt . Usually the Heron in in the guy's pond .

From another cam

It will be out on DVD soon . I would go through all of the GoT seasons watching at least 2 episodes a night .

oops ! My bad . I was thinking Colonoscopy .

The Deer that don't spook are the ones for me !

I think the deer are starting to lose their summer coats

I have had plenty of deer come up to the cameras out of curiosity . They don't seem to mind them at all . I don't wear gloves or do anything to prevent leaving my scent on the cameras . I posted the topic because many people think they scare the deer .

Larry --- They will be looking for a perfect A-hole ...... Good luck !

I don't think so

Glad you didn't get hurt . That must have been a scare !

Remember when Levy lost all 4 pre-season games in 1990 and had a 13 and 3 season but lost in the Super Bowl .

The Bills have a chance to set a couple records this season --- Most penalties and most penalty yards charged . I have my Buffalo Bills Crying Towel ready .

wolc ------- Where was the complaining about statues when the left was in power ? It wasn't a problem then ? The next step is to take down religious statues and crosses because they offend someone . Are you for that ? Where does it stop ?

Got some shooters there !

Happy Birthday alloutdoors...have a great day !

I wasn't overly impressed . Our 9 year and 11 year old grandsons thought it was okay . There were animals to see and feed .Got into the circus tent . Getting in with the butterflies was neat . The place was overloaded with food services . Spent about 7 hours there .

I have put on enough weight that I tell folks that I am twice the man I used to be !

We have a couple of the grandkids for the weekend and my wife suggested going to the State Fair tomorrow . I have never been to the Fair . I guess it will be an experience for all of us . I imagine that it will be crowded on a Saturday . I printed out the agenda for the day and told the boys to make a list of what they want to do for the day .

Happy Birthday Elmo ! Have a great day .........

I am still doing Real Estate Sign work ( INSTALLS AND REMOVALS) . As I drive around I am amazed at all the fields of corn . Field after field of corn crops . Did the farmers quit planting soy beans ? Maybe they are planting the corn to sell to the Ethanol Plants ............
