Stone Branch, build it, they will come.

Thanks guys. T-Max those videos are a pain to deal with but something worthwhile may come out of this.

I did come across this series of videos that I found to be rather interesting in regards to explaining different forms of tree harvest and oak regeneration. In the upper right corner is a scroll up/down/and all around for a virtual tour.

You need to get on the local Avon ladies call list for some chigger spray! Glad you are back in a spot you can turn some dirt. Hope to see some dead elk pics first!

I did have some left over skin so soft to oil up for my last trip. I got chiggered a bit on my arms and a few under the waist band but below the waist I'm pretty much un chiggered.

G, I wouldn't go around saying you are oiled up with skin so soft up those hollers in Kentuck. I'm pretty sure I saw that old cabin on the movie Deliverance Jst sayin.

Point taken, I probably should also leave out the fact that I roll around on the floor with men for fun.

Welcome to KY George! You’re about two hours from me and it looks like our terrain is very similar. Looking forward to following along.

Thanks HB, I hope that I didn't put the cart too far in front of the horse starting this thread. I still need to sell my house in CO to buy in KY. The red hot market here seems to be a bit chilly since I listed this house, 3 showings in the past 2 weeks and I already dropped the price 20K. I still have 75 days on the KY contract.

[HB_Hunter]

I see. Good luck selling your house.

"Country is sitting on the back porch listening to the whip-poor-will late in the day". Coincidently, Tom T is from Olive Hill, a little town southeast of where I'm heading. I can't wait to hear the birds again.

I'm in contract with a pre qualified buyer to sell my house here in CO, a tentative 12/7 closing date. I'm going to get a chance to hunt KY this year.

I just can't stop looking at this thing on Google Earth. 1300 yards of continuous ridge top/highland all inclusive to the property.



Of course I've studied the soil survey and right down there in the bottom of the crack lays 5 acres of Shelocta gravelly silt loam derived from sedimentary rock, a soil said to be of major importance to Kentucky agriculture. There are 5 different soils but the whole property is pretty much tasty loam 40-60 inches down to bedrock.

Congrats G...Have you come up with a plan yet? Hunt or habitat work or combination of both or a place to lay your head at night?

Hopefully there will be some deer sign when you show up in December.

Enjoy your new journey!!

 

[George]

Thanks deer patch. I think for now a combination of hunt and explore. In regards to habitat as you know I usually just follow my saw and let the plan reveal it's self to me. A definite plan is to clean the crap out of the crack and then think about a place to lay my head this summer. I may get a wall tent and camp out up on the hill in the woods this winter.

When is the first forum work day going to be? I can’t wait to watch your new property develop.

I was looking at eastern KY property again late last week. I just don't think I can handle the 8 hour drive to get there. Looking forward to following along!

If we all take out a pickup load we'll have the crap cleaned out of the crack in a day or two.

I will be commuting 350 miles/6 hours for the time being. Whippoorwill comes from NJ.

I've got a feeling about this one.

He's grown a bunch.

You still set to close before long?

Can’t wait to see what you do with those ridges and the timber. Congrats on the sale of your Co house!

I had a set back with my home sale. My first buyer bailed on inspection day, a cracked floor joist. Truth is he wanted to go skiing and not home fixing. So I have spent the past month, particularly the past two weeks fixing and replacing and I now have a fully functional home ready to move in and go skiing. A week after the first guy backed out I was back in contract with a couple from Texas that made a better offer to start that I countered. I'm now ready, well almost ready cleaning day tomorrow, for inspection day on Tuesday and if that flies were looking at a 12/20 close in CO and a early January close in KY. I'm packing my shop up and moving back to Michigan the following Monday regardless.

Looks like a great new place looking forward to following along!

Wow, nice place!

I see you’re from Pagosa! I’m actually researching about doing my first OTC elk hunt around there next fall, any tips/advice?
