No action tonight but the wind looks good tomorrow morning for my stand on the east side. It sits across the tracks from a larger soy bean field. Hopefully i can catch one heading back to their bedding.

Up and in for the evening. Looking for a freezer queen!

So for the second time this year I have had a red fox come into the field and harass a group of does. After the fawns ran off the older does came back and chased the fox out of the field. Has anyone ever seen this before. I never had until this year and now I've seen it twice.

I had 4 doe sneak in behind me and cross into the field before they caught my scent. 10 yards closer and one would have been going in the freezer.

In and settled for the pm. Wind doesn't seem nearly as bad once I was in the tree line. The damn deer have been using my access path so I hope they don't scent me.

I had that same feeling last season, late start getting out, jumped two deer on the way in, bad wind and had to move to a different stand. 20 minutes later killed my best buck ever. Stick it out, you never know how quickly things can change.

I would add a drink and old hand towel to clean up after field dressing that monster buck.

I'm the only one in the house that enjoys the sprouts so there all mine. The rest is going into salsa.

I'm doing intermittent fasting (no food until noon) and being a breakfast guy, this thread is killing me.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to get out in the AM but based on the wind and movement that I have been seeing the last week I will be sitting in a small ladder stand on the north side of the property at the edge of my field. The PM doe movement seems to be coming from the north woods into my field so I will be trying to intercept them before they get there.

You mean other than the fact that you have a highly flammable gas in an enclosed area with a potential ignition source??? And yes, there are times when a lead acid car battery puts out a spark. aka ignition source.

So, is he going to place those cans of highly flammable gas in the trunk of his car that is filled with lithium batteries? Sounds safe.

I'm in the same boat (or plane) the last thing I needed was to track a deer through the bush all night and then get up at 3am for a flight out of SYR.

On demand generators typically have very little to no maintenance. Most are set to automatically start up and run once a month on a test cycle. There should be an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) that senses when commercial power is out. This switch will open the commercial power circuit and close the backup power circuit so you don't backfeed the system and kill a lineman. The ATS should have a test sequence to start up the generator and check it. Otherwise you would have to shut off the main power coming into the house before the ATS.

It's warm and it seems so much thicker in the woods with all the greenery. Still feels good to be in the stand.

I think it is ridiculous that the state allows the sale of (and tax of) mineral blocks but does not allow the use of them. They should either be legal or not. I know a few people who use the blocks in the spring and summer, they break them up and mix it with dirt. I don't know if it truly helps build bigger racks but I imagine it helps with the overall health as long as its not spreading disease.

Where is this located?

The field is about 8 acres, mostly goldenrod that grew like wildfire, I would leave it alone until fall but if I didn't brush hog it would start growing sumac. I leased it to a farmer this year so he will be planting it and maintaining it moving forward.

I'm honestly not that familiar with the different grains. I had to look up Triticale when he told me. The field did offer good cover but I typically brush hog in the fall to keep it under control and I have to walk right through the middle to get to the woods.

Well its not going to help this year but the farmer came and brush hogged my fields and will be plowing and planting Triticale as a cover crop until next spring when he puts in the alfalfa and clover. We made our fall trip to Ontario Orchards and I picked up 2 Ida Red apple trees and an Arkansas Black to plant back in the woods for my kill orchard. The wife picked up trees for the yard.

I don't really follow college football but I did get to watch a guy wearing an LSU t-shirt argue with a guy wearing a Georgia t-shirt in the produce section of Wegmans yesterday.

I will definitely be out. A chance to fill the freezer and spend some time in the stand with my son before bow season.
