Where are the Bucks?

We are getting lots of does on the trail cameras, but it seems as if the bucks are hiding out. I am happy to see some daytime activity in the clover. Here are a couple of fun videos. (Don't forget to turn up the volume)

Food Plot Update

After a couple of weekends of hard work we finally got the expanded plot at the Wilson Stand done. With 1.3 tons of hand spread lime and a good soaking rain Saturday night we are off to a good start. Here are a couple of pics from the tree the new shooting house is going in:

On Sunday we spent some time working on Blind #1 and I am very happy with how the clover/chicory trails leading to the stand have faired this year. Here is Hairbone up to his ears in Winter Rye and a doe I caught having a late morning snack on the walk out.

Supreme Court Upholds Individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms

I just saw this article and the importance of the NRA in this country have given us more time to enjoy the shooting sports. Lets hope the Supreme Court does not make a ruling on the Second Amendment for another 69 years. That being said, just think of the outcome if Al Gore had been elected President and had put a justice on the bench? - Hairbone

Taking the Trail Camera to a Whole New Level

It's hard to explain how much I enjoy documenting the deer and other wildlife at camp with my trail cameras. From deer locking horns to big bruins crossing during the day, I have gotten some great shots. When I saw the new Leaf River model that records both color daytime and infrared night-time video with sound I knew I had to give it a try. Right away I see the advantages of Infra-red technology and am pleased with my first video clips. Stay tuned as we take the trail camera to a whole new level. These are a few of my first attempts of video with the camera:

Food Plot Pests

Found a sap sucker when I pushed over an old stump on Sunday and decided to try out one of the new implements. Check out the video! HB

First Sprouts of Spring

Well the bucks are recovering well from a tough winter and starting to show us the first sprouts of spring. Here are a couple of recent pics:

Grubbin' Out a Plot

Grubbed out a few new food plots this weekend between the rain drops. This is a picture of a new secluded 1/4 acre below the famous Cossayuna Stand. With a ton of lime and a little bit of luck we should have one heck of a honey hole come November.

The bulldozer broke down twice this weekend. Busted a radiator fitting and then broke the oil filter. Both were an easy fix and thanks to Jim for having everything we needed to fix the radiator at his place.

In total we broke ground on over 1 acre of new food plots. Here are is some video and more pics from this weekends action:
