Deer around here don't fear me as long as I have a chainsaw running or I am on my tractor. See more deer when I am on my tractor than walking. Both are like a dinner bell to them.   ;D

Figured I better not use this tree stand anymore 😂. Moved it to the new location. Got my Power Pruner pole saw running after sitting for years. Has always cut great. Even in some big dead hedge branches

    I wish I had taken a picture but I sawed for a client Saturday and about 200 yards from our sawing site was a beautiful elevated deer blind/shooting house. It looked to be about 8' square. It was just in the wood line at the edge of a big field with large hardwoods on the back and a hayfield in the front. The really strange construction point was they had built steps up to it but they had the steps on the low side. ::) They had stringers at least 30' long. ??? If they had put the steps on any of the other sides they would have been half the length. They were real nice steps but I am a cheapskate and would have built a ladder with a small landing.

No doubt cozy shooting houses are nice but it sure feels really good when you been up in a tree stand for 3 hrs plus with all weather conditions and put a monster buck down 😊

  I used to feel the same way and even felt the same about feeders but now I am looking for meat, not antlers and I like sitting there warm and dry and read my books and such. It is much easier to get into a shooting house quietly than in a climbing stand. Also I found as I got older I don't bounce as well as I used to and it takes longer to recover.

Another stand ready. Need to get things sprayed on the one side and get the oats in. A view out of the stand each way.

I have probably missed a few deer while watching the sun set over KY Lake.

View from what I call Lynda's blind. Wind right in my face tonight to get back here. Foodplots are starting to show some meaningful growth, but my pond is down 18".

I don't have a stand, but I was out driving the tractor and saw 3 deer last night. Then I saw 3 in the lower field when I came home at 6:30at night. First deer that I have seen for months.

There was always a dream to have a small shelter/blind on the backside of this property that you could sleep or hunt out of. Well we got one now after creating another quarter mile of trail this fall and snaking the blind back on the trail. I'm calling it the Half Mile blind for now. :)

The wind was right, so first time to go out and sit. No weapon.

   I can't download them yet but I got a bunch of pictures on my cell phone this morning of a yearling bear cub about 60-70 lbs who hung out and scratched his back and sat on his butt under and around my deer stand for half an hour. It was fun watching him but he did not help the deer hunting. :D

Big tuff little guy is flexing his muscles with his ears cocked back showing who's boss of the little guy that's almost as big as him 😂

This dude got about 10ft away. I think button bucks get brains, their second year.
