The only thing we managed to find was a Racoon skull and a few large mud puddles to soad the kids in the back of my truck... :IBCOOL:

Post by: machine on March 30, 2010, 06:28:06 PM: There not fresh.I found the set laying within a couple inches of eachother and they left a perfect imprint in the ground.The side that was in the ground stayed fresh looking.This area is very brushy and hilly which would make hunting it tricky.The trees are about 5-6 feet tall with a small grassy area.Theres only one way in without crashing through brush and the visibility from this side is poor.I'm thinking about cutting my own trial to a high vantage point.How would some of you experienced deer hunters go about this?Ive only shot one deer and am just starting to learn.Here's a picture of the sheds and deer I shot about half a mile away last year.
