Well...I found the little buck I saw wounded in our back yard back in rifle season. He was right behind our south waterhole. Saw him from the tractor...
Decided to do a little burning as well...

Old buck lost his other antler...
I looked around a little bit but it wasn't in the plot and everything else is solid woods and it's a pretty tough deal to find sheds in this kind of environment...especially since every squirrel in the woods is wanting to eat them as soon as they fall...even if I never find them there are others to look for...
Did some chainsaw work but didn't get any pictures of it this go around. Maybe next weekend...

Have you found that burning in that environment (shaded from the forest canopy) has changed your plant populations? I don't see much as far as woody browse goes. Wondering if burning has helped promote that?Well...I found the little buck I saw wounded in our back yard back in rifle season. He was right behind our south waterhole. Saw him from the tractor...

You sure have enough nice bucks running around that I would be excited to "look" for shed even if I didn't find many.
I have found sheds before in trees because I could hear a squirrel chewing on it and went to check it out. Sheds don't last long here...
Not much change on what is growing below. The area I am burning is the area I burned last year and the burn killed most of the small browse. This year I burned and am coming in behind the burn with my chainsaw so it will be a lot more open to the sun this year. I expect it to explode with growth! Thick cover is what I lack above all. Not going to hinge much this year...mostly just drop trees and cut the stumps off...
Ran a couple tanks of gas through the MS 250 this afternoon. Nothing fancy, just dropping trees to create openings in the canopy.our place is solid woods except for our south plot and a little dozer clearing at our north end...
Something odd I found in the woods is this area the deer have just really worn out...about 5' wide and 12-15' long. Nothing ever fed there and it happens to be just 15 yards in front of one of my stands...

Neighbors baiting and hunting your place?

I checked the stand and it has had no use...I walked through this area a week ago and nothing was there...weird!
Just a wee bit frozen over here on the hollow this morning. Even walking on the gravel is slick!

A few vehicles we saw in the ditch this morning on our way to our other place after church.
This one makes you wonder. The skim of ice made it impossible for this car in a mostly level spot...

Did you have safe travels today? We had a slight skim of ice but not as bad as you guys down south.
They seem to grow well in flint rock soil...where the ones in front of our house are used to be our original gravel driveway before we moved it over a ways to give us more yard room so it was really compacted as well...
We put new tires on my wife's Honda Civic on Saturday and drove it this weekend. Drove about 65 miles and really didn't have any issues. We got no meltage yesterday off the trees or grass because it only made it up to mid 20's and we never saw the sun. Headed for work in just a few and expect to run into patches of black ice on the way...
Wife and I got home from work and were putting on our jammies when I looked out the kitchen window...
Wife grabbed her .243 and brought home the bacon! Her first pig ever. Nice eating size little boar...
