Deer Hunt Preps.... Repairs Done - Report - Pics - NF


Recommended Posts

Posted

Today, brother and I planned on heading up to our hunting grounds early and repair his ground blind that was in much needed repairs :blink: 3 sections needed to be replaced because of water damage and got it all done :thumbsup_anim:

 

This time around, there was no ATV to haul our stuff up the hill so I new it was going to be hard work ahead of us :o Left home around 7h30am... pit stop for some hot brew and the way we go :) Got back at 5h30pm :)

 

Weather wise, couldn't ask for a better day B) Kind of chilly early in the morning with temps at 4C and moderate winds.... as the day progressed, went up to 16C :good:

 

Did not forget my camera this time and snapped a few pics for your viewing pleasure :)

Hope you enjoy!!!

Sure do cityfisher!!! Thanks :) Funny you mention "the rickity wood stand..." brings back memories of when we hunted on public land... that's the exact same setup we used to hunt from :) Now on private land, this suits us much better :D
