Good luck tomorrow Extreme! And to everyone else. Antler Eater, are you just sitting around or are you out there getting stands ready? Sheesh. Let's see a pic of that Elk. And a story.

I am going to move my ladder stand to a better location tommorrow and give ita week to settle down before trying again. I've noticed that most of the does are taking a new route this year. I don't believe it's in relation to me hunting a few times. In fact, Ihaven't seen them using the old trail they used last fall/winter at all this summer of fall. I just assumed they they must be. They seem to have moved up closer to the edge of the woods (about 100 yards from where my stand is now) They travel into our woods from an alfalfa field just across the road, then stay about 30 - 50 yards deep, before slinking into a thick, nasty slough on the neighbor's property to nap. Anyway, rambling on, but I'm going to try and put the stand into a clump of trees near the edge of their travel area but far enough back that they won't walk right into me.
