sluggunner Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 The woods behind our house turn all gold and yellow in the fall. I wanted an Autumn Blaze Maple to get some bright red and orange color back there to mix things up a little. Here are some photos of what my sweetie and 8 year old daughted had done for me for Father's Day to make my dream come true. I will enjoy this gift for many many years...I hope.

GWSmith Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Nice!!! Hope it dont block them long bow shots into the woods:hammer1::48::clown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sluggunner Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Deer are safe in those woods... Those woods right off the back of my deck is loaded with mature bucks. It is a usual sight to see 120 to 160 class bucks in there all the time. Unfortunately for me, but lucky for them, it is a wildlife preserve that is not opened to hunting. You can hike back there and photograph and shoot all you want...as long as it is with a camera LOL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doe-ee Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Nice gift! I'm sure you'll get plenty of use out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 That tree will definitely add more color to the woods, not to mention the reminder of a great fathers day gift. Too bad about the preserve behind the house...Do you have 500' of your own that you can put one on the ground within your border? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sluggunner Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 So close yet so far... No, My north lot line is the end of the city limits so I can not shoot them in my yard even though they are in the back yard all the time. The field to the north of me is not in the city, but no hunting is allowed there even though the deer are tearing up the soybeans in there now. It's a lot of fun to watch them, but frustrating as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 i'd apporach the city council to see if you can get official permission. use the insurance auto/deer hits to promote your points. maybe you can get bow hunting on the entire woods area.
