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.

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!!!!

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:
