Ahunting friend of mine got permission from a friend of his to let me hunt his property. There is a hollow at the back of his yard that holds a pile of deer during the day. He shot a nice buck out of it in gun season but apparently it wasn't the big one that he had been seeing back there. On the other side of the hollow is an open field.Along the edge of the field is a short but steepwooded hill side thatconnects the hollow to a still standing cornfield a couple of hundred yards away. The whole area is ringed with houses whichI'm not real comfortable with. We went in there on Saturday to hang a stand and deer came flying out on all sides like a covey of quail.It is their bedding area and I'll have to get in there super early in the a.m. this Saturday before they get in there. With all of the eyes and noses I'll probably get busted waiting for the big guy to show but it ought to be fun. I should be able to seeanything that comes from the corn to me. By the way, this is the fist time I'll be using climbing sticks and screw in steps. How on earth do you use a safety harness while climbing these? I use it when climbing with mySummit climber but with steps?[&:]Good luck in the late season all. Ken
this time of year, its very dangerous in stand.
i would hunt on ground.
be very careful climbing.
sproul, if it's icy I'll be on the ground for sure. Thanks
BTBowhunter, Thanks for the info. I was thinking thatto use a safety harness of one kind or anotheryou would have to take you hand/s offof the steps and that might be a problem.
bluebird, I don't know what to say. Were you abused as a child. Maybe picked on in school? Seriously, you seem to fit mold. Now your all grown upand pick fights using qoutes and facts as your weapons for lack of anything else.You must be a blast to be around, that is if anyone would have you and based on your on line personality I seriously doubt it.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
