I had the same concern Al for the same reason! Martin - I thought that as well - especially early season when they die in an uncut corn field. Most of my shots are pass through - but not always.

Hey Martin - I just got a Bad Boy buggy with 3 RT girls in it. It had your name on it too!
-
We have a couple out in KY. Here is devil horn! He's at least 5.5 years old and will be number one on the hit list. He never showed up during daylight hours last year.
-
A moose! I'll bet it too the arch out. It is a Frontier.

Eagle bean is what's available at the local ag store in KY. They are a forage bean and we add inoculate. The reason there are so many deer is that the land is surrounded by subdivisions. The deer can't be hunted in the residential areas so the population is very high. We love it though - always nice knowing you'll see deer every sit.

Tim, the gas mileage is terrible for a mid-size V-6 truck. I am an 80% city driver which hurts. My average on the one tank I've had in it came to 17.2 mpg. My old Ford F-150 averaged 14.5 mpg (V-8). The sticker price was 30k but I talked them down to 26K and a financing rate of 2.69% which was good enough for me. A friend of mine has the Frontier and it has been a great little truck for him. It's also several thousand dollars less than the Colorado and Tacoma equipped with the same things and over 5K less than the Canyon. Good luck with the cams Al. We've had ours out for a month and have one nice shooter from last season that made it. The others were just starting antler growth and couldn't tell if they would make shooter status yet.

I hope to paint the bed of that truck red this fall! We over seeded for sure William. We easily could have went with half of what we threw down. The deer numbers are so high at this KY farm that it only took them a month to reduce the 1/2 acre bean field to stubble last season. We hope a full acre will at least get us through the ML season in mid-October. We too will put in a box blind for kids but likely not this year.
-
We decided to expand the bean field to 1 acre this year and add an additional 1/2 acre electric fence extension. Last year the round up ready beans grew up and fell on the fence a few weeks before we wanted to take the fence down. This year we weren't having that happen again. A few weeks later and everything is looking great for the September 2nd start! I also just bought this truck to bring the back straps home.

Accidents certainly can happen and the more things added to the risk (height, chainsaw, tree stands, houses, falling limbs, wind) the more something can go wrong. After falling the tree the neighbor asked me if I'd take one on his property down. I told him I was retired. LOL
-
The tree was healthy - I cut the branches off as I ascended with so I could get the climber up. I've climbed hundreds of trees - knew the climber part would be safe - attached to the tree the entire time with a rope. Only thing I hadn't done was cut the top off a tree with a chainsaw. My only worry was hitting the house below. I never had a concern with safety.
-
The tree was between my mothers house and the neighbors. Cutting it from the ground was too risky. I was afraid it would hit the neighbors house. There weren't any wires. What you see is a rope I attached to the part of the tree that was being cut. As it fell I had a guy on the ground pull it to ensure it wouldn't hit the neighbors house. While I've never cut down a tree from a stand I do regularly hunt from 30 feet and rock climb over 100 feet so being up there is something I actually like to do. Indeed I used two stands because of the split. I had planned to use rapid rails after the split but forgot them at home. In this pic you'll see the fallen branch that would have missed hitting the house, but the rope was used just to make sure.

Saved my mom about 1000.00 dollars.

Watched the new Alien movie last night with the kids. Nothing much planned.

Bird #5 of 2017... "save the best for last"
fly replied to pointing_dogs_rule's topic in Turkey Hunting
Nice work! Great looking bird. -
Anyone have any good turkey stories!
fly replied to Tim Andrus's topic in The Realtree Pro Staff Room
That is one beautiful Nebraska long beard Tim! Congratulations! -
Applied for a Bass Pro Card last week. We have a Bass Pro and Cabela's within 10 minutes of each other. If Cabela's goes so does my Cabela's card.

Just saw this today. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2017/05/09/list-your-gander-mountain-store-saved/101453086/

I'd shoot two mature Tom's off the same farm. Turkey's only average about 3-4 years in the wild where hunting is legal. If you see a mature tom chances are he won't be there next year anyway.
-
Those Merriam's are beautiful! If we get a RT hunt set up I may just have to make it happen despite already having a 2018 spring bear hunt booked. Great story and pictures Al.
