Tomorrow.. I was thinking of trying to push a deer to my friend.

No one's hunting there.

I'm just going to post him. Where my camera is.. that's a spot.

I can push to that..

Post him there on the red. I'm walking the green and then going home.

The deer drive is funny.. we can do that.
I don't see it around much. It's not popular.

It would be good with the right group..

I have yet to push a deer out by myself yet.. my grandfather was real good at it.. he would post friends and walk around just him and he pushed deer.
 
My friend dont want to hunt the new place i found. Just a new spot had allot of deer sign..

I told him the houses were not close.

Just because you can hear things like a car horn.. he didn't want to go back and hunt there..

That's why he wanted to leave that day...

His thing is houses.

The information board. in the corner it says hunting permitted.

I want to hunt there..

You can see all those houses. It's not close but there there. The red circle is the area.

I don't think it's close.

There was one kid there bow.

I thought it was funny. He was going in 3 hours before dark. His backpack was a full size hiking pack.

It's fishy that’s all. I thought he was up to somtin with that backpack.

There was a group there. 3 cars opening week bow.. haven't been back.

There was a guy walking out with a game cart and no deer.

I questioned the guy with the cart. No deer. He said they shot and couldn't find it but why bring that out there before you find it. You would find the deer and then go get the cart.

It's funny. That cart would be one way to have a farming accident out there.

I was younge. My grandfather was right he told everyone I was going to be going and if I'm there no one can do anything. Not even catch one first extra..

Everyone all. They were good. They new I was a kid and that's what I'd do.

My uncle didn't care. He caught a pool of fish.

My grandfather when we got back to the vacation house.. told him no.

My grandfather said.. your not allowed to fish here. your not allowed to stay here. My uncle took it hard.

my grandfather had to deal with me. He use to say it's worse than a game warden. The kids.

My uncle was one and done fishing.

He went out ounce a year. one day. Clean up a stocked pool and be done.

I felt bad he fished like that. Caught all the fish and hide. Be done for the year.

I was like so one day of fishing a year for him. Good don't go back out. Only fish one day.

Felt bad that's all he did for fishing. One day a year.

I fished all year catching the limit and that was always allot of fish. I caught more fish.

I think the only reason I let it go was that.

Just feeling bad.

My aunt would lose her mind. Anytime he did that and showed up with fish like that.

She went one day she was telling me. The place was stocked. He was having trouble getting last fish in the bag and all.

He gave them away to my great uncle and aunt.

He left all the poop in them. Half cleaned. And they were in the cooler a few days so they were soft....

My great uncle told him he ruined all those fish and not to do that anymore and he didn't want the fish don't bring me fish.

He stopped fishing after that.
 
I have hard feelings about uncle.

I had to hear about. From my dad mostly. One thing was the way he treated his dog like kaka. Never take it out. Always in a kennel all year.. etc..

When my grandfather passed. My uncle took my dog. The dog I trained with grandpa was my dog.

My dad wasn't any better. He told me all these things over the years. An then he didn't want a Dog so I couldn't take the dog and my uncle is getting the dog.

The other thing was my gun. I had great grandpa gun. The deal was my uncle took that and I get my grandpa gun.

I didn't care about the guns.

My dog.
 
That dog wasn't allowed in the house. My aunt.

My uncle. He can't clean game. He can't do it. So he doesn't go. He used to when he had his grandfather to do everything. But with no one to do that for him he can't Clean a birds..

He took the dog up north. Where it would spend the time chained to the tree.. or is home in the kennel.

I went a couple times all the way to get the dog and go hunt and then bring it back. It was allot but that's what I had to do.

He didn't hunt with me or fish. So no we didn't go out together.

He took me to Maine deer hunting at his place once. We drove around the whole time. I asked a few times when we going in the woods.
 
Funny.. I know my uncle baited deer.

But he never shot a deer.

Yet he would hunt over whatever he did.. he can't pull the trigger. Why would you do that for nothing? Just to put yourself at risk..

He used to say because I like to see them when I'm hunting. And maybe he would shoot if it was that big.

He only filled one Buck tag. Like 5 years before I was born. Ands he had help with the deer after. He couldn't do it alone.

He can't do it.. even if it was that big. He had no stomach for it at all.

He was funny though. He new more than me in ways. Like he know spots that he showed me that I could go. Was my uncle we did do drive around. He did show me couple spots like that..

Like he did know places like a random apple tree or two out there.. there good spots.

bait was above these rookies.

Knowing where a apple tree or two is out there.

You can get those apples and bring them out to those trees..

Like I don't know. What's that baiting called. The tree is there. That's what he showed me one day. He said usually someone is already hunting there though. But if no one there is a good spot.

Ha..

He would say. That I would never get it. That he was really only hunting for a Monster of a buck nothing less.

He said he was the only one like that.
 
So going with this..

It's still game cameras.. he wouldn't show me what he was doing but he was doing. He had them.

With the Boone Ave cricket saying no.

I think I get it why..

I just got one. I'm a rookie with the thing.

You know I thought everything he showed me was a Monster but he said nothing was big enough.
 
I dont think they care how many cameras we put out there.

I wonder why no limit on the number of them.

I want 12.. see what that does.

but the fact you have to move one around to see another spot is more challenging than just putting out more. You have to go back and forth. It's different.

Why 12? That seems like a lot unless you are hunting several different areas. That's just more intrusion into your hunting area to change cards, batteries, etc..
 
It feels like allot to buy.

My spot 4 would be fine..

But I know a couple places that I don't go that I can go..

I figure I'd spend more on travel to go out of state.

I'm thinking put the money into cameras and maybe a stand or two.

Out of state to go. I loose two weeks works food gas and all.

...You shoot a deer around there.

the deer you shoot.. guts full of corn...

I was hunting over a scrape and a buck came over the ridge, came running down right to the middle of the scrape, and started doing his buck thang, thrashing overhead bush limb with his antlers, urinating, etc. BANG he crumpled up and fell straight down like a sack of hammers without taking a step.

When I field dressed him I noticed he was packed with corn from his gullet to his bung hole. Stuffed full of corn. When we got him back and hung him up at the camp, we noticed how clean and fat he was. No offensive odor, not a tick on him, heck, his hooves looked polished. General consensus was I shot somebody's pet deer. Must have got all horny and jumped the fence at a nearby farm looking for a girlfriend. Bad decision on his part.
 
It would really stink. If I got a trophy like that. A monster

How do you hide the cameras use? They going to check if you used one.

It's already registered to me.. I'm not getting the trophy records.
