Going tomorrow to set up the tree stand, game cam, and pack in a ton of cracked corn. I took everything out before modern started as I didn't want it disappearing on me. Wish I could find a cheap way to get 50lbs of apples. The elk were cobbling them up like crazy in August and September. Thinkin about picking up a cheapo ground blind to.

Nice! Yeah tomorrow I am packing in my climber just in case the wind is doing something weird. I have two stands already hung, one ladder and one hang on but I keep seeing a crap load of sign on the trail into my stand so I might end up using the climber and setting up right there on Wednesday!

I found an apple tree that was right off a public road and have picked about 40-50#'s of apples and will dump them out tomorrow!!

The bucks are around and the rut should be going good!!!!

Well I better make plans for hunting Washington in case my Montana trip is a no-go for some reason!

Hmmm, we are not leaving for Montana until late night on Wed...... so I could go out here on Wed morning, try to dump me a buck, hang it for 4-5 days while were gone, and then just have a mass butchering party when I get back with our Montana deer.  :drool:

Montana hunt is a no-go, so it looks like i'll be hunting Blackies in the rain!  :bash:
