Season preparation...

Image
Spent all day at the lease today prepping it for the season. Rented a walk behind brush cutter, brought a pruner, saws, machetes, etc.  We cleared about an acre or so and it made a huge difference.  After all was cleared, I spread a 25 lb bag of " Plant Easy Deer Food Plot Seed " from Outside Pride Then we toured the rest of the property and put out another small feeder that I have running once a day... it only holds 1 bag of corn, but it is sitting in a real sweet spot with a narrow shooting lane.   More hogs on the feeder, this time a group of 4.

Deer Lease, setup

A good friend of mine has been on a deer lease in Willis for a couple of years, which is all of 25 minutes from my house.  Well, he called me this year and said ther were some openings.  It is close and economically friendly, so I am was definitely in!  :) I have access to about 350-400 acres and can put up 2 or 3 blinds.  THis season I don't have a 4 wheeler, so I am stuck walking to/from the blind.  As my lay of the land would not be conducsive to a LONG walk, I have a nice spot a couple hundred yards from the gate.  I put out a feeder, a tripod, and a game camera.  Attached are some pics of the layout. I went out to the lease this afternoon to get the weeks pictures.  There were only 17 pictures on the camera, and the camera quality is below average in my opinion.  Anyway, some hogs, a 5 or 6 point young buck, a couple of does, and a HUGE boar. Its gonna be a good season.  Next year, a bow perhaps???
