HOT

It has been hotter than hell up here in the north woods. After working all day in the heat I have no wish to get out and get anything done in the deer woods. Need to get out the bow and get some practice in. need to build and repair stands. really need for it to cool off some!

more work

This is the first day in about a month when the Temp. is below 80 and I have the day off at the same time. I got out and did some brush cutting on my hunting land. cleared both the wildlife opening and the new shooting lane for my fathers stand.

The neighbor was up. he was putting a stand on one of my best runaways about 20 yards over the fence. This really burns me, Cuz I have had the area to myself for so long, and now with four people hunting a long twenty really messes things up. I know they have cost me deer.

Now that having been said, I really have nothing to whine about! It is his land and he can do what he want as long as he stays on his side of the fence. I guess jealousy is a hard thing to work through.

baiting

Its hot out!!! Not the time of year you would think much about hunting, right? The only thing is that the apples are falling, the little on anyway, and they have to be cleaned up. so now is the time to think of where you want your bait stations this year. Some of you may not believe in baiting. That's OK. Frankly I don't care if you do it or not, I do. I do not use a feeding station bait system, I use a stop bait system. I just put down enough bait to stop the deer and give me a better shot and so cleaner kill.

I finally got some fishing in. worked the river for small mouth bass. only got a few and no big ones but it's still better that working.
