Frank's outdoors...

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!

Been a while since I have posted.  I have been actively hunting this season trying to get that big buck, and still haven't got him.  I have started watching and prepping (albeit late) my other spot I have scouted on my lease.  It currently has a small hanging feeder on it, and a tree I was using for my climber stand.  I have only sat in it once.  I bought a REAL nice Shadow Hunter blind at Academy in Conroe, and my good buddy Mark help me get it setup (the picture isn't great, but the blind is!). This is it in my garage, nice and new.  I bought a pack of "Elevators" and mounted 3' legs to it and put it in the field.  During the summer, I'll probably lift it to like 8' or so to get better view into the woods. So, I begin muzzleloader season with my new gun I got for Christmas!  I got a Thompson Center Encore Pro Hunter and a Nikon ProStaff scope.  Ready to rock'n'roll! Here is the action I have been seeing after moving my game cam...
