Extended doe season here ends on Sunday. That's the last time you can take any deer. I do know he has shrunk to a tiny core area and he is safe either way. It's not 100% yet, but i'd say he is safe until next year.

Yeah, I'm ready to get after it. I have his core area nailed down. It's on the neighbor's where I can't shed hunt, but he travels through our place or another neighbor where I can. I found his right side and a spike from his left side last year. Hoping with the food I can keep him around a little more this year. He shed on January 26th last year. Wouldn't surprise me if it were earlier this year.
Thought I might try to make life a bit easier on the poor suckers. I know they probably don’t need it, but I bet they will take it. With any luck, tomorrow it’s time to fell a few elms for browse.
Didn’t take too long. I did this in 3 places. This one, one about 75 yards behind it, and one up by the house. With 2 feeders it gives them 5 places spread out to feed. I like it.
In preparation for drilling in my NWSG buffers, I needed to take care of a few trees that were overhanging or otherwise preventing me from getting the tractor where I wanted. Picked up a little DeWalt battery powered chainsaw as I can’t get the truck there. That thing is neat. I got the whole west side of the field ready. Need to use the pole saw on the South side. North and East are in pretty good shape.
Well, I started another project that is probably gonna hurt. Poured the footings for what will be a 2’ stem wall supporting a 40x18 lean-to. Progress pics to follow as we build.
