Went scouting with pdk25 my brother and myself today down in our area. Brought the bows with us for a little stump shooting and man had a BLAST!!!!!

Can you believe I lost one of them bring pink nanna fletch? How it hell I dont know but I did LOL.

But all in all excellent weather, found some awsome spots, and had a blast with the guys!

Wildcat Ridge by Splitrock Reservior has high tension power lines that run through the WMA. They cross over Splitrock Rd. at one point. I Believe there is a marked hiking trail at that point where the lines cross over the road just before or after the large parking area depending on the direction your coming from.

Tom I know the area that Mike is talking about.
Mike we didn't get into the woods until 1 pm or so. I had Super Bowl chores to do that morning like cooking up a big batch of venison chili. It came out real good.

Wooohoo! the Giants won and there is a fresh layer of snow on the ground this morning. I just had to get out and celebrate by chasing some squirrels and checking out the new WMA behind my property. Didn't get any but I sure had a lot of fun checking out potential new spots to hunt. I jumped a good group of about a dozen deer and found plenty of good runways.
Don't forget to vote tomorrow!!

Man are we going to have a lot of Scouting to do!!! Mike we'll all have to get together up at Wildcat one day for sure. Lots of spots Larry and I want to check out better.

Sal and Eric: I do not know if I have to work yet. If I don't what did you have in mind?

**DONOTDELETE** · « **Reply #511 on:** February 06, 2008, 06:14:00 PM »

Sweet hollow looked really good... We checked out one of the smaller pieces. If You still want to come up we can meet & check out the bigger piece of land... You did say You used to hunt there right?

bentpole · « **Reply #512 on:** February 06, 2008, 06:17:00 PM »

That's correct Sal I haven't been there in years. Looks like they added more property to it. Did you walk the Power lines ? I believe I parked on Sweet Hollow Road .There were a couple of houses there .I went in the small piece of property, made a left, crossed the Power Lines and into the big piece. Nice chunk of land with a creek back there.I know it was close to the truck stop.I used to have breakfast there it was a greasey spoon type place but service was good ,clean bathrooms. Then I used to cross 78 towards the property. There was also a Bagel Shop/deli on the left side of the road close to 78 also.I'll have to get a Hunterton County map and refresh my memory. Compare the two to see where the new property is.

**DONOTDELETE** · « **Reply #513 on:** February 06, 2008, 06:23:00 PM »

Nope, we where scouted one of the ones down by the creek,stream, brook what ever you want to call them.

bentpole · « **Reply #514 on:** February 06, 2008, 06:32:00 PM »

It's bowhunting only so the plus is you don't have to worry about any gun hunters.

**DONOTDELETE** · « **Reply #515 on:** February 06, 2008, 06:41:00 PM »

true... Got to love Bow only land

fyrfyter43 · « **Reply #516 on:** February 07, 2008, 06:31:00 AM »

The spot we scouted last week was down at the far end of the power lines property.

We drove past the small property along Sweet Hollow Rd.

This past fall I only ever saw 1 guy hunting the area by the power lines, so there should be very minimal pressure there.

BTW...the truck stop and bagel place are right in my back yard.

**DONOTDELETE** · « **Reply #517 on:** February 07, 2008, 11:01:00 AM »

let me know what time we are going to meet. I meet you at Your place Eric... that kool?

fyrfyter43 · « **Reply #518 on:** February 07, 2008, 05:53:00 PM »

Sounds good, Sal!

I guess if we'll be scouting, there's not much sense in meeting too early.

Tom, if you want to hit the truck stop or the bagel place for breakfast, I can meet you there.

bentpole · « **Reply #519 on:** February 07, 2008, 07:00:00 PM »

Eric sounds good let me see if I have to work Saturday.If I don't WOOOOFAAAA! I'll hit this thread tomorrow with the info.
