This spot is nearly impossible to hunt with a bow for various reasons, but I do have two stands, one for north wind and one for south wind about a 100 yards straight ahead. Another is located to the right rear about 75 yards for any westerly wind. The long 40 acre lake to the right is a barrier and forces travel through this pinch point.
This cat is itching to be made into a "cat quiver." He cruises through every 5-7 days. If I don't get him during the deer season, I'm going to be real tempted to bury some cold steel in February. I have't trapped in 25 years but haven't forgotten how to catch a cat.
Rarely do bucks travel through this funnel until the rut starts but you can photo a bunch then.
I've been watching a group of gobblers for a couple years on this property, but have held off hunting them. The old boy on the left looks like he is mature enough.
I do believe it's time to devote some attention to him this spring.
