The mineral lick I put out at the Culdesac blind is getting some attention! Pretty cool, I always wondered if they would go near these things... Proof is in the pudding:
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...
I was hunting with my father-in-law (FIL) a month ago, just outside Llano, TX. Its an area of Texas with rolling hills, mesquite trees, cactus, and thickets of thistle brush. Truly beautiful country. We arrived at the camp at about 2pm, and knew we were going to make an afternoon hunt. We chose our blinds, and I went to this blind called Big Moo. Mainly because its a ground blind and there are frequently lots of cows around being in the middle of a 2300 acre cattle ranch. My FIL is friends with the guy on this lease, and he has invited us out there the past few years. We can shoot a buck, a doe, and as many hogs as we see. So I get to my ground blind, and its a box blind that could easily accomodate 2 people, but its old and has 4 huge windows. Pretty much looks like 4 sheets of plywood with a plywood roof, painted dark green, very homegrown. It serves it purpose. So, I am settled in, have my binoculars up and am glassing the area. There is a feeder approx. 45yds directly in front ...
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!
