first time in years I have been excited about hunting season. (is it too soon)
planning on using mainly muzzleloaders, only one cf and it is going to get a make over soon.
these camping/hunting spot, I may have been scouting an bedding/ a deer highway (big game highway to the last set of pic)
these one camera had over 110 game pics. only going to share 3
nighty night lol
had a member of my group tell me I would not see anything in that thick stuff. not going to touch it. early archery and muzzleloader is going to be a pain. rifle and late archery and muzzleloader may not be too bad to see.
no place for a tree stand, could do a platform stand but they are pricey and my best friend and first time hunter wants to go in with me.

Its never too early! I try to think about it all year long, helps me maintain my sanity!
Just keep in mind...most of the green stuff will be gone by Nov. Even the thicker areas will be more open than you think. Personally, I'd rather hunt the thick stuff anyhow...that's where they are...
Nice bear!

semi, did you cut a rocking chair down. we have a lot of boards around the property from where the built the cabin. knowing one of my friends they would over thinking it.
I am going to keep one camera at these spot the whole time. have 2 others that will be put in other area to see if there are other spots. going to make an homemade feeder, thinking an 6in pipe one 90 front cut to drop feed. just strap the sucker to a tree
first time I seen a bear in over 300 pics so hoping that was just a passer by, most likely not something keeps getting in to our burn barrel. guess next time up there, I should set a camera close to that to see what is doing it.

It looks low because the legs are sunk in the ground a bit. It kept sinking over time so I ended up putting a paving stone under each leg to stop it from sinking.
