Just to prove a point I'm always looking at buying land and the number of properties for sale in Monroe county starts to get your attention until you get to a point where you say to yourself, "is the whole county for sale?". There's a reason for so many properties being for sale, Got my O on it but whatever it is, can't be good I'm thinking.

Went from there up North to Egypt Valley, Belmont County. We left without ever getting out of the truck, and after we encountered many groups of hunters going up and down the roads on foot looking for any place to enter. In a way I felt sorry for the lone deer in that area too stupid to stick around. Chances are a minimum of a hundred shots would have come it's way. Can you imagine the scene if and when it fell and the struggle that would surely come.

We were not really looking to ML hunt but to find a place to bow hunt this season. Even without the mass crowds of hunters the terrain wasn't worth the sit. One huge spot in Egypt valley was a clear cut with a rise in one corner. A truck was parked there, lawn chairs and refreshments around and some guys in camo waiting for something to make a run for it. Had to be a thousand yards of ground in front of them.

It was hilarious.
