Love it! Thank you!

Yes Charlie Teddi was real happy about it. BTW she was selected for Airborn school this summer. She is really excited.

Well well well look who showed up! I thought you would be happy to have more property to trespass on and let alone shoot my big bucks. Lol Good stuff, the main thing is hanging with the owner and getting a shot when he is ready to sell.

When you can see your breath in the cold air I'll use this method. Not perfect but works.

I think Sunday is going to be real warm with partial sun. Think Ill take the dogs out for a long shed hunt before the game.

Jealous!

Two years ago I tried buying 68 acres that join my property. Got into a bidding war and lost out. So there is a 65 acre piece right across the road from me. It has been leased for a long time. Wasn't a big fan of the guys leasing it. Some after hours shooting deer, alcohol on their breath at times after the hunt. I found out who the owner was and contacted him. We talked in December. I offered a nice sum to buy the property and said I would double the amount the current lease is paying. Well we talked today and he isn't ready to sell but I got the lease for 2k a year. Starts in September. Hopefully after a couple off years I can buy it. Neighbors are very happy I'm leasing it.

Nice buck! I pulled past my neighbors field today and saw two bucks, mature with head sets. Nice to see...

Wow didn't know this. I have a ton of poplar trees in an area that I was going to cut. Best I do it this month to help out the deer. Good info!

Miss doing the late season at Otis or Rocky point. My gang usually goes out a few times but not this year. I'm brining down a cooler of venison next weekend maybe that is why! lol

I may take a walk around the property with the 12 gauge. Bunny or grouse. This deer season burnt me out for sure.

Great video! Everyone was out looking for dinner! Thank you for sharing with us. FL

Nice video. Loved that you had the whole family there. looking forward to seeing the ladies shoot one! Thanks!

I had bottles of tinks left over from last year I used them. No harm no foul!

Ya think! It looks great hope you have a great place for it. People need to see that look!

Wow that is a brute!

Town of Howard. Local guy runs the show.

Sad. The seasonal road sign just past my house was stolen Sunday evening. Why would someone want that!

Funny you brought this up. Got an email the boys will be running the yotes with their dogs up here. Starts this week. They have permission from most of my neighbors so a lot of land to cover. I'll post picts.

It's been a while but things re moving along. I have electric and water to the barn now. Installed lighting inside and out first level. Moving upstairs this week to start finishing off the guest house. FYI those green lights I bought for the barn were made in the USA and were really well built. I sent back the overseas version that would not stand up to the wind and rain. Steele Lights out of Cali. Did I say I'm having fun? lol

I'm 59 we don't mend quickly or at all.

Another piece of equipment I need. Thanks.

Thank you. I was lucky I landed on my side and my shoulder took much of the impact. My head did snap to the ground once I hit it.

So as you know fell about 10' this year coming down out of my stand. I was lucky and was just a bit sore for a few days. I took a walk today on my property and looked at a few of the stands that are in place. There are hazards at the bottom of these tree stands that need to be removed. There are a couple of visible rocks that should come out. At one tree stand small trees were cut leaving a few a couple feet off the ground. They need to go. Same for any logs that are on the ground. All these things could of made a big difference in my outcome if I were to land on one. This is a priority this year for sure. Ok I'm done. lol

Also on the cards were some mature doe and a lot of small ones. That really small buck is something!
