That area is absolutely incredible David.  Your ground blind seem to be right in the middle of Pope and Young Alley.  I have the feeling Mr. Big will be walking right in fron of you very soon !!!!!

As it was mentioned before, those pictures are also breathtaking.

Good luck and shoot straight !!!  :)

Kenny, weren't you supposed to be up there with him this weekend?

Those pics look great. I've never seen that many apples!

T.J.,
 Kenny could not make it up, so he came and hunted the weekend with me. We had a great time and I'm sure there are some stories forth coming

Today was an exciting one. The temps dropped down to normal finally and the woods were a busy place to be at times.

The wind was wrong to hunt the stand so I took Spooky for a walk in the shadows.
 
Had to use flash so you could see her.

It's a different world hunting sugar line woods. need to be real careful, cutting a line will cost you a hunting spot for sure and they are everywhere. Set high enough for the game to pass under easy enough and just high enough to be uncomfortable to cross over for us healthy sized guys.

 
 

The lines all lead here. Mmmmmm maple syrup.

At the bottom of this side is a small brook. Plenty of water and a good runway.

 
 
 

Did you see it? Hard to tell how big by a small sapling, but the boy made sawdust out of it and not to long ago.

Lot of feeding going on on these. The turkeys are roosting down here in the bottom too. Extra credit if you can identify the nut.

Some pretty good runways along the inside edge of the woods along the cow corn. Just happen to have a stand here and the wind is right.

 

Watched a mink hunting in the brush of my stand for a while.

 

Gray squirrels and deer sign all over the place.
 

More story from today tomorrow.

When I was a kid, we collected 5 gallon pales of sap trudging through very deep snow. The new system is much better for the back.

Hi there vermonster13,
Nice hunting ground you got there.
I would like to know the specs of Spooky. Thanks.

Awesome... meat wise speaking, l I bet 2 tags equals about 5-6 of our does... so don't feel bad... plus your seasons are accurately timed to the seasons.. here it all opens at least a month too early... man, you have me stoked...

Us southern boys love our food and southern ways, but, dang, I think you Yankees have it going on when it comes to deer hunting.....

The biggest doe I've taken to date was 165 dressed. The biggest buck was 239 dressed. Thing is up here folks are more interested in how much it weighed than what the head-gear was. If you don't include weight with the points, you aren't telling the story right(here that is).

Would you prefer. I saw a red-tailed hawk take a red squirrel. Watched a coyote hunting field mice out amongst the Beef Cattle and saw a bunch of deer but wish I had one of Vance's Ghillie suits when a certain one and I had an encounter but was pleased to not have him get a whiff of me? Passed on two more does and was surprised by 4 others.

Just doesn't read the same when you cut it to the bone.
