view to my right. across the property line is a high fence hunting place. i don't think it's a pay to hunt type place. i just think the owner, a doctor, has the money to make it high fence. there is a road inside and outside the high fence that some guy likes to ride (what seemed like all the time) and check for someone cutting the fence. i guess it's part of his job. he also picks up the deer that are shot by the people hunting there. i watched him go up the hill with a deer in the back of the side-by-side thingy.
place is absolutely loaded with these. i thought, not only due to the temperature, i was on a safari when this herd of elephants came through the woods. boy, do they make a racket
they milled about in the open fer a bit and then made their way to the backside of the pond. about twenty minutes later, the gobbling started
this is a past picture of a really good stand location. the storm that came through the county put this shooting house on the ground. the landowner moved it back about 40 yards to the left and it faces forward instead of to the left. one can now hunt it looking left and right, as the property owner cleared a huge section of land and put in another green field. a really nice 10 point has been seen in this area so i opted to let another hunter sit this stand, as he had not seen anything worthy of taking and wanted "horns". to each his own as they say. and no, he didn't see anything here either.
i saw one yearling on my green field. pete connected with another 8 point across the county. not as big as the one prior but it was still a good one considering the heat and moon played a big factor in the deer not moving as they normally would. i'll have to get a picture from his phone to post later.
friday night is steak night. looking good
i got a well done one (bleh!). it still ate but i like mine on the other end of the cooking spectrum. anyway, supper was steak, some type of potato augratin stuff, salad, yeast roll, assorted pies and cakes and sweet/unsweet tea
