As some of you know I went North to my hunting camp for the end of last week and will be heading up again on Friday for the long weekend. I arrived about 3:30 Thursday afternoon to find the ridge I've hunting for the last 16 years had been completely clear cut[:'(]

WTF! about 7-8 years ago I arrived to find it selectively cut and the hunting wasn't too bad. It changed the travel patterns a bit but this time it takes the cake. Aprox 750 acers of the best whitetail habitat I've ever hunted was stripped to bare dirt. Needless to say my hunting trip turned more into a scouting trip. Hopefully the time spent scouting will pay off this weekend. If not it should be prime again in about 15 years[X(].
