I can change my profile okay. No errors. If you can,t remove all the extra info in other fields and try.

Yup, he just does not know.  ffsmiley

My property is one mile deep but the access to all of it is from the North property line.  All of my open land is along the Northern edge so any where you go a North wind will betray you.

My property is outlined in Red and is about 50% timbered.  My leased property is Yellow and is 100% timbered.  The Strawfield food plot is the brown in the center and the back food plot is about halfway of the back 40.  All bedding areas are South of the food plots.  (The white line in the NE corner is my driveway to the Cabin.)  The deer always migrate toward the North in the evening.  The simple rule is that if the wind is anywhere from the North, you do not hunt in the evening.  For "still hunting" in the mornings, you go wherever you have to and then hunt into the wind.

That's a West Virginia joke.  Every state is flat to someone in WVA. Have you ever been to WVA?  The entire state is mountains.  Mountain mamma says John Denver and he wasn't lying.  Semi drivers go around the state because it is too arduous to drive it.

I see hunters go far and wide looking for a deer. 
If I wanted one there's a bunch in my back yard. 
Not far at all. :wink_2:

Oh yes, I have been from the top to the bottom, bottom to the top, and both sides, more than once.  I was with a mission building group that went to War and built a food distribution center after the flooding and to Bradshaw Mountain refurbishing a honky tonk/bar/night club into a church.

The video below details building the food distribution center.  This project won Wood-Mizer's first People's Choice Award:

Rustic nailed it. Compared to here every place is flat, well at least flatter. I tell folks I have 40 acres but if I could lay it flat I'd have 80. It rises over 450' on 40 acres, Many of us here will see a deer and say "if he comes on this side of the draw I'll shoot him but if he stays on the other side I'll just let him go." He may not be but 50 yards away too.

I soon learned to always bring my lunch when I went out on the Monongahela NF lands. You could easily see the point where you wanted to go to, but it would take you at least half a day to get there'

Truckers would say that one hasn't driven until they've driven in WVA.

Drove through West Virginia a bunch of times, and got around OK in a semi pulling a 48' spread axle flatbed. Was warned though not to get directions from the "coal buckets" (local dump trucks), as they'd send you down Billy goat trail roads not built for 18 wheelers.

They wouldn't do it to be mean, they just didn't know their idea of a "truck route" wouldn't work so good with a big truck. move_it

Grandson got his three bowkill mounts back from the taxidermist today.  The center skull mount was a "velvet" antlered deer taken during the one day special bow velvet season.

He had gotten his three buck limit with a bow before the gun or primitive seasons opened.

He also drove to Kansas and tagged a bow kill 10 point.

Nothing shot and nothing accomplished except building memories.  Backstory, he sent me a letter a couple of weeks ago asking me to take him hunting, so yesterday afternoon I took my 6 yo Great Grandson deer hunting.  We saw nothing so we just sat and whispered.  Maybe nothing even unusual about that except that I am 75 years older than him. 

My G Grandfather had passed before I was born and never went hunting with my Dad nor Grandfather.  This afternoon he asked if we could go 4-wheeler riding?  We probably went a mile and a half, him driving half and I finished up.  Just good times at the Cabin.
