Showing Off My Spot and Stumping a Bit
« on: January 12, 2015, 05:45:00 PM »
It was a nice cold day here,and I decided to go out stumping a little bit. I had my camera with me so I decided to take a few pictures and show you the place I get to hunt. This is a nice pond that's normally got a lot of ducks on it.

Here's an old rail bridge beam that the hogs like to rub on. I don't know if you can see it or not,but they have rubbed off quite a bit. I guess they like the creosote.

Here's my blind. We had to cut a lot of branches down to get some trails cut and get some room for the blind,that's what all that is stacked up in front.

I was shooting pretty good today,and center punched this ant hill from 20 yards. It was cold out and the ants did not appreciate my shot all that much.

I walked up on an old deer blind and pulled away a piece of plywood to find this rats nest. He was in there and he ran down under some other stuff when the light hit him. I don't know if you can see the fresh cactus or not,but I guess they eat it.

It looks like the rat was eating cactus,and it looks like a coyote was trying to eat him for lunch. I have seen a lot of them out here,but haven't been able to get a shot.

We just do not have many stumps out here.  You have a great place

Very cool!  Thanks for sharing.

It's been freezing here, and basketball season keeps me busy.  I'm itching to get out and shoot around a bit.

I just love to watch these stumping posts. Nice to see the variation in landscapes and terrain. Envy you the absence of snow...
Thanks for sharing.
Maybe there should be a dedicated forum in here for all us tree stump-killin' dudes.

Hey Bisch I hunt down 37 in Cambellton.

Biff I can only imagine how cold it is up there. It's been rainy and nasty a bunch down here.

Trond I have to agree with ya,that's why I took the time to take a few pictures myself. I like it when people post these sort of threads to.

Good looking spread! Man if I had a private pond like that I'd be missing all kinds of ducks!!

That is pretty funny. I guess I could give it a try. I don't know why they are so scared. They just get sight of me and fly off.
