I shook off the hangover and Turkey cobwebs yesterday ...
Pulled down the tree stand and placed it close to the new spot.(chained it up to a tree)
Bounced deer on the way in. I didn't get a look at them... the bracken fern is brown but still towering over my head..
Its a cotton wood swamp. Most of the cotton wood has been cut down and ceader trees have been planted...
Went back today to put the stand up...
Had a hell of a time.
I've got it up on an little knob which I expect was an old growth cedar stump.
It has a 12" spruce growing out of it....
Had to call in some reinforcements for help.
With all the racket we scared at least one more deer out.
I'm not far from there beds... lots of fresh sign..
Fingers crossed they come back...
I'll leave it for a few days and check the cameras.
The sky point camera is pointed at the stand the other 2 are on the trails,
I have the stand between to trails..
