Got CSS and Littlefield areas all set this morn. Went early and done by 8:30. Just mow and throw plots. Cut it a week ago and then today cut it to the ground with the push weed eater. Hoping they take and for some more rain. Next weekend will finish the last one we want to do and til that one. Then no more work til labor day weekend to make sure stands are set and shooting lanes are cleared.

Nice path!

Trying to entice this big fella (Big Sixy) out if he's still around this season. Pics were right on this trail last two seasons.

That the buck you kept having encounters with last year?

[Robhuntandfish]

No actually that was this guy below. For about 10 days he was everywhere on our property and saw him a couple of times but never in bow range. The big six seems to hang on the other side of property and last year we didn't hunt it that much cause it was so flooded. I would certainly be happy with either or something far smaller. But that 6 is just unique.

Good day off. Got out to check the rifle to be sure it's still on. Gotta love one shot and done! Esp these days with the availability of ammo. But the 30/30 is good to go.

Then went to the Amish store for some sausage spices.

Then out to hunting land. Checked out plots and they are looking good. The one I planted 2 weeks ago at wayback is growing great in spots and nothing in others. So gonna seed a few spots there again. But even the ones I did just a week ago have popped. Good to see!

Also got 3 stands cleared for shooting lanes and new straps on them. Clover in the trails also looks great from our frost seeding.

Then shot the xbow and that is on and ready!

Was planning tomorrow to put in our last little plot but the farmer cut it all and we have to wait for them to bail it now. So hopefully they do that today or tomorrow so we can get that in Sunday. Looks like 4 days of rain after and it would be perfect.

Corey and I went fishing this morning and had one walleye hit and a sunfish. We were off the water early. August is usually tough for eyes for me. We should've went bass fishing!

So put together my duck blind idea. Took some 6ft stakes and cut another 15" piece to angle the top with a bolt and a wingnut. This way can give us more cover and also just break it all down to carry. I made 6 stakes but really only need 4 so I guess we have some spares.

Will hopefully be able to try it out in Dec duck season.

I forget, are you hunting the early goose season??

Heck, is that still on the books in NYS?

Not planning on it. Not going to go til the late duck season that opens Dec 3. Last year they had 2 days of goose season in my region that overlapped with duck. They didn't do that this year, kinda sucks.

So hoping the ponds are still open by then. Not gonna go in there blasting shotguns before bow season. I know some guys say it won't hurt anything but not taking the chance. Bow season is the #1 priority

Last and biggest plot in. Worked out perfectly. The farmer cut the area Fri and got done bailing it about 8pm last night. So we dug it up as best we can and planted. The forecast is for showers the next 4 days so hoping it takes. Now we are done til labor day weekend and will get the last 3 stands shooting lanes cleared and trail cams all out with fresh batteries and cards.

And am whipped and time for breakfast.
