    At white pine stand. Had some wild rose to deal with. Fresh tracks and trails a few beds right infront of it. Winds are switching though. Probably why I see beds here. I've shot my first ML deer from here and my first compound camp doe from here as,well. Though never a mid day hunt..so we shall see. Loved to see a bear. Which I have also seen here.

    Since I wasn't hunting yesterday, got my electric winch up in my garage to make it easier to butcher deer. At work today, hopefully back out tomorrow. [​IMG]

    I have got to get me a kayak like that. It would open up some great opportunies for me in a couple of spots where there is no good way to walk in.

    Good job BHH.
    Damn I wish I could shoot a doe in this zone.
    Sweet rig VS.
    I got in right at legal time like I always do. It took about 10 more minutes (gloomy) before it was light nuff to shoot.
    A lone fawn was it until I was getting ready to bail.was getting wet. On more scan and I seen movement on the neighbors 100 yards north.
    So I held tight knowing they'd be heading onto my land for the day.
    Took about 5 minutes and it was a doe being trailed by a stunning but young perfect 4x4. I grabbed my bow and was SO tempted then I remembered the 2 bucks here I Really wanna kill. I'm guessing he's a 4 year old. Seen him on cams but first time real. If he stays a straight 4x4 next year he could be a STUNNER.
    so, back at the cabin and it's been light rain and I got bored.
    I have a steel 5x5 frame I welded up 2 years ago for a deer blind and never got around to finishing it.
    Brainstorm..., the deer the past few years have started using an area about 60 yards from my cabin as a major travel route.
    I looked out at the steel frame and, I had some plywood,put a roof on it, mudded it up when done. Got a buddy in town bringing me some camo burlap for wrap. Didn't know how to attach it but I figgered some magnets would work (for this year). He'll be here shortly and I'll find out.
    I'm soaked n cold but.
    Will post pics when done. That's my cabin in the background. 20211110_110704.jpg
