Went out to see Anise and Becky (Dusty had to work)

She is such a good baby...No fussing...OK maybe just a
little when she is hungry or getting changed but other
then that she is awesome!

NOVEMBER!!! Can you believe it?
I took the day off from work and hunting
and went to VT to see Jake..I got to see his 2
work places and where he is currently living...
We had lunch and he took me around to see the
area and the damage from the heavy rains...
His boss Paulie had lots of good stuff to say about
him...And he did tell me about his one flaw...A one
hour pizza! LOL
Luv ya bud!!

The Hermatige...Reminded me a lot of Cooperstown































The Last Lift (Hope I got that right...lol) This was a great
place...
















Mt Snow where Jake spends a lot of his free time

So I started my day by going up to Nemec's to see
what bucks got turned in for the pool and to my
surprise no one got anything over the weekend...
But they have had a few over 200 and a couple
near 200..Lots of big deer this year...
The heaviest ones rack looks a lot like dads with
very heavy antlers...
After stopping up at the storage shed I stopped
down and met our cousin Jim who has a saw mill
and piked up some rough lumber for my next
secret project...Let me tell you that rough cut stuff
is HEEEEEEEAAAAAAAVY...Sure hope it dries
some before spring...
So here it is...#1 project for today...


















Not as pretty as Tim's but itll work..Now Tim doesnt
have to bring his up each time...He'll have one right
here...Oh and Tim, dont forget your key since itll be
locked up with the picnic table...lol

Now secret project #2 is...
















A gun rest for helping to site my gun in better...



Ive got a place all set up to along the road to mark
out my 100 yard mark so Ill hope to test it out
tomorrow...

I went down on the power line tonight hoping to
catch the "big one" cutting across...




















































FOOLED YA!!!
The guy I play golf with in NC actually got this today
for blackpowder season...Nice 8 pointer huh?

All I saw was a doe as I was walking out... :-(

Woke up this morning to 31 degrees and only about
an inch or 2 of fresh snow...
Hunted with just 2 guys and myself so that limited the
drives we could do...
We didnt see anything and very little sign until the last
drive down on the flats...I saw 2 and JP saw 3 on watch
and Larry saw 5 on drive...Nice finish!
I then headed down to Albany to help Tim cut up the maple
branch that fell last night but by the time I got there, he and
Larry had most of it done...




















Tim's maple tree

Oct 29 2011

Was a quiet day today...Worked on the lot for half
the day and then sat in my treestand for the rest of
the afternoon...
Didnt see anything but 4 turkeys and a red fox...
It was 34 when I came out of the woods and by the
time I got to Lake George it was starting to snow
lightly...I dont think we will get much...Looks like
its going to stay south...
