hes a perfect 5x5 and has some great mass.
The area is so thick i cant get my camera to take color for the life of me.
going back this weekend to put some more alfalfa and a couple tree stands.
This will be my first branched antler if i can knock him down.
Gonna try and get it filmed too.
Stay tuned the saga continues.

Good luck, lets hope that someone doesnt stumble on your spot and sets up house on top of you!I hate that had it happen to me a few years back elk hunting guys set up stand about 150 yards below mine.

I'd have kept all the limbs on your ladder stand tree for better concealment. Looks pretty exposed. And you better watch the wind like crazy in tight quarters like that too. If the wind isn't right, stay out of there until it is. Good luck.:yeah:
With nothing between your stand and the feed site, especially at that short of distance you are going to have a hell of a time pulling it off. You would be better off placing your stand at the farthest of the three trees on the left. Hope it all works out for you but if not think about backing off a few yards and with some more stuff between you and the site. :twocents:

ha ha ha....no way anyone could ever find me.... I'm secret squirrel agent.... :chuckle:Just track the cow with the collar. It should take you to the spot. Looks like a secret Nooksack spot.
Post by: backwoods_boy on September 07, 2010, 09:46:25 PM
could have killed like 10 cows and a spike.
saw the 5x5 but not in my area so hopfully pressure will push him to my stand.
day 1 in the books

Post by: backwoods_boy on September 20, 2010, 01:30:08 PM
I was out there till pitch black dark last night in the monsoon rain that showed up and too bad it wasnt spike season or i would have been tagged out for sure.
Anyways just thought id update. Next up Muzzleloader season. Gonna move my stand to a different location on the property so stay tuned for some new cam pics in the next week or so.
