What did you do today that’s related to deer hunting #2

[kingfish]

Looked at the weather and decided that Wednesday and Thursday are going to be great days since the morning lows are in the 40's.

 

[Milkman]

Sat in my man-room and looked over a lifetime collection of deer hunting stuff. Also watched the Kevin Costner movie “The Guardian”
I’m gonna clean this place up one day and take some pictures to share.

Sent this picture to my wife.
She says Rambo left a LOT of “stuff” out.

My son gave me a basket and some heavy duty rubber strap mounts for Christmas. I mounted them today on my golf cart.
The straps are just right for my pole saws.
Gotta get ready. Season will be here before you know it. ?

That’s sweet and that pups ready to go too!
I got my new merino base layers from Midway and plan to try them put in the am. I’m still hunting but scouting new ground. I got a new pack of tacks in case I find the right trees too.

Unloaded my hunting equipment, now the truck needs cleaning a bit. I've seen better deer seasons even though I did get four deer, my personal limit. It was too warm, and there was acorns and green browse everywhere. Deer didn't need to move much to keep the rumen full. Most would lay up and chew the cud. While we sat in stands munching on snacks. lol

Dropped a few pins on the map to go check someday

Brought all of my chairs from my box stands home that need upholstery work.

I rebuilt the carb on my 2000 Honda Fourtrax yesterday. She fired right-up. That ATV has carried a lot of deer out of the woods for me. Today, I hope the shrink tube I ordered to repair my API climbing stand chain shows up.

I also started my serious diet this morning. (obviously i did not yesterday because of the big football game). Decided I was too fat this past deer season. I am pushing 68 and need to loose about 15 pounds and get in shape. 185 is my goal. Have not been at that weight since I was 40.

Camo is packed up, processing equipment is cleaned and stored, stand removal coming soon.
Walked my small 40 acre plot today, chopped down and sprayed some privet that’s trying to make a stand. Made mental plans for more sweet gum removal. 2 weeks ago had me clearing areas around some white and swamp chestnut oaks. Have to keep reminding myself the work will provide great benefits to wildlife in the near future.
Developing year round food sources and cover out of an open hardwood bottom is a task.

Walked around in a plot for a few minutes to make sure a shed wasn’t shining . Several people in my area say they are dropping , me personally think it’s a month to early . Filled up a spin feeder with corn and a couple trough’s with peanuts . About to get serious and really help my deer and put some steel in the ground and see if I can’t remove a few coyotes and coons

I invited the locals over for a clover dinner.

I'm sulking because the season is over and it's cold outside.

Yesterday I put 5 miles in scouting on a local wma…5 pouty sulking miles….

I ordered more stuff. New cord for prussiks some g hooks for my saddle leg straps and kydex hook to hold my platform. Got a new carabiner coming too. It’s never ending!
