Finished splittin' house wood today.....yeah!!!! And figures went over to a friends house they had a big pine comedown about a month ago. So I went over and cut that up and I'll bring that home tomorrow. andthey had about a cord of hemlock piled up so I'll take that too. The pine is very fresh Hate working with that SO STICKY!!!!

Gotta get my camera out too. but I have been working in the woods they still come through but mainly at night. I have a little cleaning to do but I should be finished so I can let things quiet down alittle.

You guys have some pretty good deer there. Being from Alberta the deer here look like babies.I haven't seen a buck this year yet. Lots of does come right up to the barn to feed.There could be bucks in the bunch but so small I can't see the horns.

3rdGenMaple,
No bucks till the rut normally at home here and I never had a clue why.
Do you have nuts tree on your land?? bucks prefer to be at shade under those trees, eating nuts (Bitternut hickory, white oak), than be in clear place.
That was my observation when i lived in St anicet, near Fort Covington NY, and was hunting in Brasher falls..

Oh heck yeah I got nuts lol. I have managed my woods over the years for deer and maple. I have an mature apple orchard with about 30 trees dropping apples already like mad, lots of red and white oak, some beech etc and wild berries as well. my land is 95% woods and 5% foodpots for deer. Just wierd how it is here but I would rather the bucks not be in there no than not during the hunting season.
