Awsome/ thanks... My family has land and cabins up there, and some times I go out and dont find anything, then wonder if Im to early or not right areas... our area holds a couple small bucks maybe and a good hand full of does, but the monster bucks that come in to our land are coming from somewhere else and I am still trying to find where they live in the summer est.... ( any thoughts..?)

Frickin diesel prices need to drop some first though!! :bash: As soon as the snow is all gone I'll have a good excuse to load up the bikes and take a family trip up to the cabin! All the snow has to be gone first though before I'll drag the wife and kids over. At least my wife and daughter, my son will go anytime! :tup:
