Like a kid making forts........
« on: August 27, 2014, 05:41:00 PM »
Went today to check with the land owner where I have been lucky enough to hunt and see some deer. He said all is good so I went for a walk to tune up my ground blinds. The one I missed the doe from last year was in rough shape, had some twine with me so I rebuilt the blind and cut some better shooting lanes. On the way to another I found a runway that's getting some use, so I set up another. Just like a 10 year old making forts.....lol!!! I think it's going to be a good year, fingers crossed!!

Hey Ron,the only thing better than sitting in a ground blind is sitting in a "new" ground  blind.  Here is one  (you can see the blue snips hanging just about where I will be sitting) that i put together this spring. Good luck buddy.

                                                   Good Shooting,
                                                                    Craig

Keep the kid in your heart Ron, and keep building forts.
I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

Ron,
I know what you mean! I've been fixing up some ground blinds and putting up a couple of tree stands and I honestly think I have as much enjoyment from doing the prep work as I do hunting.
May your friends be as many as the promises you keep.
