Thank-you for your replies.
I tried hunting my backyard one year, but the deer did not seem to want to come in and pose for my rifle. LOL!
Like the turkeys crossing my front yard. They move rather rapidly across the yard from one neighbors place to the neighbors land on the other side. I can't seem to stalk them nor the deer.
I usually hunt on the land on either side of my small place. One side is just thick woods with no structures on the land. The other side has is a 40 acre tract of land that the daughter inherited 5 years ago when her dad died. No one live there and she only comes down occasionally to take the boat out on the lake. I know others hunt the land as I hear gun shots occasionally. So, leaving my "stuff" on the land would not be as safe as I would like.
That is a good idea about the sled. I will have to try that.
Best wishes on the congestive heart failure. That is ultimately what ended my father's life. Take care of yourself.
