Just a few days after I left my uncle Jim's in South Carolina, his son and my cousin Cody dropped a HUGE 200 lb 10 point on Jim's farm!!! Helluva buck, Cody!
Ok, basically, I am just getting my blog started, but its going to be a "day in the life of" me. From my hobbies, to work, to anything interesting. Stay tuned...
First off, I love this 4wheeler. Part of the reason I love it is due to the fact that I needed it so badly to do work on my lease, the other reason is that it has all the features I wanted and then some. The Polaris Sportsman 550 is a very big rig. Bigger than I realized in fact. I have had it now for approximately 4 months, and taken it on many trips to the lease. The pros: 1) It is very strong. There is no doubt it has the muscle. Towing a trailer full of corn, me, a passenger, and 2 cargo racks full of gear was effortless. Keep in mind that when I was shopping for a 4wheeler, I was thinking I could get a 350 or 400 size rig that had an automatic tranny, but this was not true (or I didn't see one), so the Polaris 550 was the smallest motor that had an automatic, and I happen to like the Polaris look/feel. 2) I like the composite rack and with the lock & ride accessory items. I have the gun boot and this new car...
Thanks to my good friend, Mark, we have another spot to hunt this year after the much maligned loss of our lease at season open last year. We are up in Crockett, TX and have a solid 1200+ acres. This piece of property has some elevation changes and is used as a privately owned timber property, so there are selective cut lanes throughout. The timber company grades roads after a cut, so access in and out of the property is pretty easy. At the moment, I have 2 box blinds and 2 tripods setup. One of the tripods is a bow blind for the coming season and will be my first go at that. Will post on that at a later time. Below is a pic of my big box blind looking down a lane, and it has 5 directions to really keep an eye on. 2 in front, 1 out of both sides, and a lane directly behind! I only have one feeder in front 70 yds at the moment. My son is silly!
