Jason - that's a sweet deal man. Under $50 for ladder stands is clutch.

Mike - that's a big shed. How many are you up to so far? I'm still stuck on zero.

Speaking of sheds... Yesterday was the last day of PA archery season, so I was out with the recurve. All morning, nothing. So, I decided to take a walk through a bedding area around 11:00 - just to make a few circles and see if I could pick up a shed in/around the beds. Since the area is nothing but rosebushes, my damn recurve kept getting snagged up in the shoots - so I got mad and set my bow back out in the field.

After about 10 minutes, I wasworking around a little bank, scouring the ground and I caught a bit of white - you know - one of those things where it just didn't fit in - through a little hole in the rose bush. I peeked around the side and was eyeball to eyeball with a big old doe. 5 yards. Open shot too. Swear on my life. No bow. WTF. Seriously. [>:]

She just sat there motionless - watching, so I tried to play the "I don't see you over there" game... Maybe I couldgo back and get my bow - then return.Well, she may have been stupid, but she wasn't THAT stupid - by the time I gotback in there with the bow - she was already gone.

Dan - you do a lot of work on your property, do u have any foodplots in place? That would be so nice, just to have the ability to do your own thing, and not have to contend with other people.
