The landowner and I were busy all day taking care of some of those last minute details for the opener Saturday. We got his tripod stand moved to the new food plots, hung a spare feeder at the tripod stand, hung a deer attracter (made by a young man who works at the feed mill - hangs from a tree limb and is supposed to draw deer to the area), and I got my "porta-roof" hung over my ladder stand. (We also set his trail cam to see if the hanging block works.)
Wednesday & Thursday will find us moving another (ladder) stand, setting a ground blind (or two), clearing shooting lanes, and probably clearing a few trails with the bush hog.
Picked up another 500# of corn for the feeder(s) today, and that should last for another week or two. Critters have been eating 30-50# a day at the gravity feeder.
Luckily I found a feed mill that is reasonable on price. Buying it 500# at a time and having them bag it in regular feed bags (you have to buy 10 bags the first purchase, then bring them back to re-fill) is 1/2 the price of the 50# bagged corn in throw-away bags.
Sure glad he bought a new "buggy" this summer - it really helps!
Me pulling in at the feeder in the "buggy":
I know what you mean wabi. Every year I say I'm gonna get out early and prep my hunting area and every year I'm running around at the last minute trying to get it all done....never changes. Great looking buggy there, I can see how that will come in handy. Good luck to you.
