Can you take some pictures of your ambush spot? I would really like to see them.


That is the creek that runs through my property. It is called McTush creek, but most call it mud creek. It varies in width from a few feet to quite a distance. On the left bank you can see where the deer are landing when they jump the thing.



after they cross the creek out of the cedars, they come up this very slight hill. That is a nice path there. And today I found a bedding area as well. I figure a ground blind near them trees should do real nice.

Something interesting is, one my walk back I spotted something that does not belong ...



Someone else is watching the trail by that creek. There was no ladder to the stand which is kind of strange, but there is a shooting lane to the trails. I left them a note and advised them to take the tree stand and a certain part of their anatomy and get them off my property. I will be checking back here, and if I catch them in that tree there will be trouble.

Here is a link to some other pictures of the general area I own. Also I take you to the boundary edge of the property, where I meet the National Forest.
