  1. I trolled the lower benches of my hillside yesterday, squat.  Wind was ripping up top, wasn't bad down below.  It's possible they just heard or saw me coming and politely skedaddled before I could see.  Time to shower and get out for a mid day sit.  Seems like I see the big boys on their feet in daylight more often after Thanksgiving.  Be back at it full time starting Friday.

    I was at full draw at 35 yards on a solid 8 around 1230.  He got my wind shortly thereafter and trotted back the way he came.  It was fun practice, don't think I'd take him during gun.  Or at least not the first week!  Found a pretty active spot not far from there, smack dab in the middle of my hillside property, probably haul a stand way out there on Sunday.

     

    Edit:. This was from the ground, which I'm really becoming a fan of.

    Yeah.   I'm pretty convinced the 8 I got this morning is the same buck.  So, I'm a bullsh#$ artist is what I'm saying.  Just finished hiking a hanger stand deep down my hillside property and hanging it.  Going to take tomorrow to butcher him up, and see where the rest of the week takes me.

  4. I got the bare bones, non power steering Grizzly 550, no regrets.  She's about 600 lbs.  Don't think you're going to break virgin sod with a quad though.  The plotmaster I picked up this year does ok at pre tilled ground, but we use the tractor for all new plots.  Hoping it's enough this next year logging trails and some hard to reach spots in the middle of the woods.
