Fitz's 2012 Season Journal Thread *semi-live*

Oh yeah, the cell phone is there. It's also my means of posting live from the stand, and my video recorder... Love my iPhone

It's kind of funny, I've been hunting since I was 13 or 14. First rifle hunting in Washburn CO WI, and then up here. I've never hunted on or near a field of anykind

Maybe someday

 

I take that back. I spent one night hunting over our 30'x50' foodplot in WI. But that may not really be considered a field?

 

Well, I got out this weekend to check my new camera that I put out in a new spot. I was hoping that I didn't get skunked and boy I wasn't. In one week I got over 750 pics of deer! That's great up here!

There were 3 little bucks and a ton of does and fawns. Here are a few shots...









Now, is it just me, or is this fawn tiny for this late in the summer?

 

Here's a shot of the area. I come in on the yellow line...

 

Great pics! Any new shots of blade?

 

Loving the journal Fitz can't wait to follow during the season good luck!!!

 

No new shots of Blade. But that's not out of the ordinary. I usually go two weeks or more between picks of him.

 

Subscribed, didn't see this thread earlier. Respect for the effort to hunt Blade, I couldn't imagine paddling or pedaling but can relate to the motor driven :D

Team or no team, hope you tag him this season

 

this is good stuff fitz. i am enjoying the adventure. keep up the good work. looking forward to the next installment.

 

Looking foward to following along Fitz!

 

Same here...Subscribed..

 

This is probably my favorite thread on here come hunting season. I cant wait to check in some night this fall and see a picture of blade on the ground. Good luck Fitz! We all need you to end this saga.

 

After 9 months of hibernation, I got the ol' girl down...








I need to trim a few stands this afternoon. It's raining off & on today and the season is only 7 days away! Time to get all that last minute stuff done, so I can be care free in the woods next Saturday!

 

Sooooo jealous Fitz!

 

I forgot to post more pics from the other day!

It did rain off & on, but I was able to get two stands prepped in one area.



Here's the view from the Crooked Birch







And the climb up

 

I also got out for a couple hours today, to check my new cam and prep two more trees in that area. I'm pretty excited for this spot. There's a ton of doe activity and most of it is daytime I see some meat being harvested here, possibly opening weekend if we can get a SW wind!

Here's the first stand I set in a Jack Pine.


















And then the view from a balsam about 60 yards away.

 

Now, if there's time, I need to get across the lake and check my other camera for signs of Blade

 

Looks like awesome country! Do you start on Saturday?

 

How high are you in that big pine? Cant wait to see your hands wrapped around blades antlers!

 

Nice Fitz nice,,love reading the updates!
