I forgot about that one, and for a good reason. My wife has 2 brothers, and they're good with guns. Their name is Smith & Wesson!!

I hope to take the tractor, with my son driving, and pull my blind on it's 4"x4" skidders to it's home on the farm. It should be a good site, at the least I should be able to take a doe. I also have a 5'x5'x72" tall blind that I bought at Gander Mountain to use for mobile purposes, it's a cheapo, but it should work in a pinch!! lol

That's one thing I wish I had up here is a tractor. Preferably one with a front bucket. I'd have more game attractors than the animals could ever want LOL. You can't have too many thickets and land with good thickets is getting scarce for critters.

You can't have too many thickets and land with good thickets is getting scarce for critters. Most of our farmers around here are bulldozing for every plantable acre they can get. They will be taking a major source of deer in our are out, in the next year or two according to the owner, I hope it pushes them a little closer to us!!

This place was technically a farm but maybe 5 acres total were usable for such. It was timbered likely in the late 30-early 40's. When we moved out here in the late 60's we could still find where a saw mill had been. I got a lot of trees {Oaks} I know they left thank goodness. The only place I keep cleared fairly good is the old house site the cabin was on and that's mainly to keep Copperheads down. I use the goats for that and the powerline R.O.W. One thing I have plenty of is rabbits.
I had one big field on the back of my place on top of the ridge I'd like to take a dozer of Bobcat through and knock down some stuff, turn up some dirt, then leave it and let nature have it for another decade or so again. Deer had been bedding down in there. Now it's not quite as suitable for that.

I need to go back up there more than I do. There's a house across the fence now about a hundred feet away from my property line. Around close to where the old still was.

Pour me some of that good ol' mountain dew!! LOL it came with the property when we bought it. It had been busted up for a while likely a decade or more. I was up there a few years back and found something interesting. It was late in the fall or early winter and I found a planting starter flat. It looked fairly new and nothing had been planted in there for 15 years. Wonder what it was? The same year the sheriffs department found a free enterprise garden on the ridge across from me. I know the guy that owned the property and it weren't him.
