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

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...







The secret project




Target practice




Old house new garage

Woke up this morning with the temp at 21 degrees...The snow pretty
much stopped after getting home so we got maybe an inch total...It warmed
up quickly so things melted pretty quick especially in the sun...
I worked on the spring road starting to clear it and also got a tree off my
walking bridge that fell this last year...
I got some jugs and tested the spring for flow rate and I estimated about
13 gallons per minute which is pretty good...
I did some more shoting of my gun and its hitting a lot better now that
I dropped down to 150 grain bullet...Did not like that 200 grain stuff...
I lastly started on a secret project but youll have to tune in tomorrow
to see what that is in that Im not finished with it yet...
Anise did not go home today since she was still a little joundasy so hopefully
she will head home tomorrow morning...Pray for Becky since they arent
able to stay with her...
Below are the pix I couldnt upload yesterday...The first one is my favorite...
