    Looks like this spot will have to wait a year. It's a shame.

    That sucks. What kind of area do you think that operation is going to affect in terms of your deer movement?

    Well, it looks like they've gotten a good start on the logging of the Fed land to our SW. It's near where they logged state land two years ago. I'll be curios to see how far they go, especially around the pond I was hoping to hunt back there.

    Looks like I'll have to do some snowshoe scouting this winter :tu:

    Pulled the card in my dad's camera on our way back. It's up the outlet, where we are hoping to sit tonight. It was a historic pull. Finally got a kitty on camera. I'll post up the photos soon.

    She skinny, crooked and has limbs everywhere. It's a tree only a Lone Wolf could love!

    Making the best out of it. Here's the view to my left:

    And out to my right, along the outlet's dam

    I'm sitting in the tree my dad's camera is on :ninja:

    Are you die hunting or is this a spot where the boys hang out?

    Good luck!
