This is usually more of an adventure journal,  we have been on some rides lately.  You all who follow along tend to enjoy the pics, judging from all the positive feedback.

I want to rip doughnuts in the yard of the wedding venue to celebrate, lol I’m a simple man…

We are heading to an Offroad park in central PA on Monday.  Should be a fun time

Working on a home project the past few days.  Had 12 pines taken down last October, they had to be climbed, and roped, I finally rented an excavator to clean them up.  The trees laying there definitely changed the deer travel, and have not seen many bear either.  I took the pines down to avoid the danger of them hitting my home.  I have been giving this loaner prosthetic hand a workout, while operating this rental excavator.

Good job. There fun to run. I rent my nephew's excavator's several times a year on different jobs. Much cheaper to pay $1000 a week then pay a $1000 a month if you own it.

Those excavators with the thumb are handi as heck. Looks like you got quite a bit done.

Yes sir, I run these at work from time to time, i feel like i am a decent operator.  Having said that, I figured I would be lucky to get all that I got done in a week, well I was able to do all the work from Friday 3:30pm-dark, Saturday & Sunday 7:30am-dark, and yesterday 7:30-noonish. I usually do more fine work, like preparing for driveways, or concrete, drainage, and swales, work like that that with specific grades with laser transits….so it was nice just to get in here, and hustle through.  That 80 size was perfect for this, never tippy from holding the logs in its thumbs, and walking them to stack in a pile.  I cleaned the whole perimeter of the yard too where over the years, the prior owners just threw tree debris just off the grass, I reallllly hate that.  Looking forward to the deer wondering all over in the woods now, rather than being pinched down just the driveway, or powerline.

Yes sir, I was hoping a week would be enough to get what I wanted to do, accomplished.  I did a much more thorough job than I thought I had time for, and so much extra.  I look at it like it didn’t cost me a dime, I got that much done.  A lot of the rental stores around here, and when I say around here, that means within an hour drive, are all 8 hrs of run time for “day”…thankfully the closest rental store, who is 25 miles away considers a “day”, a full 24 hrs of run time.  You know how it goes, you blink yours eyes, and its been 4 hrs…

Some about 6 dump trailer loads went to my dad in addition to the piles pictures.  He sells camp wood as a hobby, and some logs for boards with an Alaskan chainsaw mill, might make siding boards for a woodshed for camp upstate.  I even had to burry some logs, and brush, tried to be as minimally invasive as I could to keep my home concealed from road.  I never did a project to this magnitude so it was actually a good time.

Starting to see random bucks on my camera’s in 3K.  I’m very excited to see brows on a buck here.  I typically see shorter brows, like 1”, and typically no brow on one side on my property.  I would probably give this deer a pass if presented an opportunity.  Body looks of real good size though….2nd pic I wonder if its the same deer, different camera set about 500’ away.

Nice and in daylight!  Hope he walks by the hunting shack! 

Thanks Rob.  I don’t know if you recall last year, or two I stopped going into the woods behind my house to experiment.  I stopped going for random walks in there throughout the warm months.  I also stopped bow hunting at my house, because I was never seeing deer with bow.  I decided to set up a mock scrape last year, I did not even have a licking branch, and I had buck, after buck, after buck in that scrape.  I ended up getting a nice buck last year, and passed up a few legal(AR zone) bucks prior.  It has definitely changed everything for me here on my 5 acres I own at home.  If you were looking out of the house, you would have saw that daytime buck I posted.  I did the same thing this year, hoping it works, and I wait until opening day crossbow to hunt here.
