I won!!

Well, I made my second trip to the MP Mountain today. The first time I noticed that it was really nice woods. I ended up finding some sign...a lot of poop...some that were big and clumpy, some nice trails and saw a few does too. I went back again today with the range finder and the spot is just shy of legal...I may end up going there anyway...we'll see what the season brings. I think I'm still going to go to the old place to hang the feeder, but I'll keep this one in mind to just jump in some evenings. It looks promising.

Now on to the "I won!" part of the heading...I won 9 pounds of Whitetail Institute Imperial food plot from Talk Hunting.com!! How cool is that! I don't know if I'll use it, but it sure is nice that I actually won something!! How great!!

Went to the club

Went to the club today to meet up with Tony and Greg. I thought we were just going to meet and pay, but it turned out to be a work party. Greg, Tony, Bob and Brad were also there. When I got there I learned that all the feeders were vandalized. Some one came along and took all the chargers and feeder units. We cut out 10 and made it a real nice stand and put a feeder there. Bob will be getting new parts and getting them running again. Then we went into the old pit. I didn't even know that was there, but it was really nice. Then we went to 11 and made that nice. They worked on 3 before I got there. Then up to 12 but we left that alone. We'll probably take that down. We also cut out around the big feeder. Then up to the other side of the other pit where I muzzleloader hunted. Trimmed up there and took the feeder. That was it, then we left. It took about 4 hours to do all that. It was actually a lot of fun...loved being out in the woods again!

Took a walk yesterday...

I took a walk behind the Recycling center yesterday looking for a spot to hang the feeder. Unfortunatley, that fat guy has the perfect spot...I can't go anywhere around him without being too close to him. I may walk with my ranger finder in a bit to see if I can get far enough away from him, far enough from the houses and still cut off where I know the deer could come from. The only spot that I did find that was far enough away from him I'm not sure if the deer go to. It's on the hill right near the dump...The leaves look like they were walked on there but I didn't see any true sign. I'll have to visit a few more times. I also emailed Ed to see if there were any new properties opened to us. It would also help if this stupid state would pass the 150 rule too.
