    Elevated box stands

    You could build a steady platform and secure a pop-open igloo style blind. They are light and easy to erect and the one I have has windows on four sides. It is water proof and if secured correctly, quiet.

Not surprisingly, a number of the younger guys (my son and are seniors, age wise in this club) are going through the roof, claiming that they deserve cash back on what they paid.

    Too many pigs.....no deer!

    I have hunted and killed both wild pigs and deer for many years. This is the first year that pigs have hogged in on my deer hunting. When I scouted my lease, 35 miles west of Jacksonville, FL., I saw lots of sign for bucks. I had been keeping feeders going with corn. The black powder opener...
