    I am starting to wake up a little to the upcoming hunting season. When I was fishing yesterday I kept looking at the land features around the lake. ha

    I have only seen one buck from the stand and 3 years at this spot. It's 32ﾟ this morning so instead of fishing I am out scouting to find some remote bedding areas.

Good guy but was headed right where I wanted to scout further. Found some decent rubs that looked a 2.5 year old. Picked up some decent sized tracks that headed back toward the private land thick stuff. Got 1 stand site in mind. Drove a few miles now off to walk a couple more miles.

    Went out to the farm yesterday afternoon for the first time in a long while. After the icestorm at the end of October I pretty much stayed out of the woods last season. Bunch of widow makers have finally blown down and I have limbs, partial falls and split trees everywhere. Well, that and new trails... Lots of damaged canopy has led to more sunlight and a lot of fresh nipped green in the woods. Planning on turning soil on the plot soon and getting clover and chicory planted. Did not find a single morel in any of my spots, pulled the SD card and sure enough I have a few hogs running around.

    The semester from hell is over...and everything in the woods is green. I had ZERO time to spend in the woods between school, medical issues, and house hunting. At least I'll be 1/2 hour closer to my hunting spot in a few months when we close.

    Sounds like things are coming together for you. I hope your medical issues are not too severe.

    Thanks Jim! I'm gonna be a CT resident, tags are $100 cheaper! lol! Medical issues are all good for now, had to spend a few days in the hospital with an extreme hypertension crisis, BP was 220/130. I didn't know it was a problem until it was a problem. I felt "off" and was close to passing out. kinda scary, again. Turns out it was a new med I was on that was ramping up my BP. Thanks VA hospital Doctor!
