First chance I get, after deer season ends on January 2023, I am going to drop this one. It is supporting a 4 ft high platform on one end (two 3” steel pipes hold up the other end), from which I killed a big doe in September.
That was the first deer that I killed from that stand, which was up for about 5 years. I was going to take it down, but now I want to keep it. My plan is to cut the dead ash tree, about 3 ft above the platform.
I think a plastic 5 gallon bucket will fit over the end of the stump. That should slow down the water absorption from that end and hopefully make it last a little longer. I’d like to get 20 or 30 more years out of that stand, or until I am ready for a wheelchair.
That upturned bucket will make a great gun/crossbow rest for shooting towards my best foodplots. Much of the bushes, that I need to trim up each year, around that “natural blind” are poison ivy.
Some say that poison ivy is is a preferred forage for deer. Maybe so, because that doe was only a 10 yards shot and her smaller “scout” got to within 5 yards. Maybe they stopped by for an appetizer on their way to the corn plot. Back strap momma got more than she expected, with 240 gr of lead thru the heart.
that green vine like stuff leaves makes great TP

Equilibrium: The journey of Graceland Grand Royale started over 2 years ago when we took the original Graceland base and let it sit in a Willet barrel for just over 24 months. We conditioned it on banana, peanuts, and marshmallow and then added a generous addition of flaked coconut and honey. We find the results extraordinary. Graceland Grand Royale pours decadent and luxurious releasing notes of velvet fudge and whipped peanut butter laced with coconut. We get extreme deep chocolate notes with peanut butter and caramel covered peanut nougat, banana custard cream brûlée, and coconut bonbons all wrapped up in a palate coating and weighted vanilla honey cream finish.

Little guys sparing. Not far from the big dude
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkBeen saying since opener light rattling is a good idea. Gman’s cams been showing for 3 .5 weeks that bucks are sparring. Watched video of 2 lil guys locking up a bit then a nice 8 appears and shoved them around a bit. If there’s a time to gently tickle the rattle bag ( is that an urban dictionary term lol ) imo now’s the time. I’ve got eyes on a tall 8 in a small few acre plot of land . Couple run ins with him . Lightly hit rattle bag on him , got his attention, he peeked , went back to picking red clover outta field , waited 10 minutes and hit grunt tube lightly as he’s 85 yards . Didn't even look my way. Once rut hits big guys on whiff mode. I’m not a good deer hunter by any means just my .02.

Up to five deer now. Big guy is a shooter. Only second time I’ve ever seen him. Unfortunately he is north of me and unlikely to head this way. Might be worth a move tomorrow. It’s in the spot I though he might be but I though further into corn. He was right on the edge. I overlooked the fact there is a row taken out on north side too and the hedgerow there give perfect protection for nobody bothering him.
tickle them rattling anters/bag a shot?

I started taking my now 20 year old daughter as a toddler scouting turkeys in April . Every year I'd buy her new camo boots and camo clothing only to be worn acouple times then new stuff the following year. Sodfather and Moho got the hand me downs each year lol. For their girls not actually for them. I'd let her hit the slate call at the opportune time bird on roost should gobble again. Smile ear to ear when he did.
Snacks as mentioned even at 20 is a given

Canned venison is fantastic. Learned from my grandmother 40 years ago. I can some every year. Just a touch of canning salt and chunks of venison put in the jar.
I gotta tell friends and family I am out or they'd eat it all!!
i just can't! Reminds me as a kid trapping we'd can chunked woodchuck or muskrat as fox bait. Woul'd bury the jar in the ground few a few months. Oh that smell upon opening scarred me for life.

So TF also shut his alarm off today , that confirms my choice as correct .
Ill be out 2x this weekend , each with a guest , one , some doe killer from downstate and my cop neighbor who’s never hunted before, although he’s shot tons of them .
The beauty is neither knows which stands produce and which don’t, and I get help dragging mine !
Working 8:30-8. Off tomorrow but morning looks like a wash. Hopefully an afternoon hunt
