Well I've been out a couple of times since my last post. Last wednesday I thought I should go out since it looked like rain was in the future. It turned out to be quite windy so I didn't stay in the stand as long as I normally would. I decided to investigate the bush further and look for sign. While walking along the south side of the bush along a corn field that was just being harvested, I came upon four does running towards me from the south east. I froze in my tracks to see what they would do. Once they spotted me they stopped but were not alarmed. They ended up turning south and running along the corn edge. I estimate that they were about sixty yards away when they spotted me.
Here are some picutures of my stand and the surrounding bush.
The ladder stand is made by Big Dog stands and was only $80 at Meijer in the States.
My new Kifaru Express pack is great for packing in my insulating layers as well as the Excaliber Exocet Crossbow.
There are still some leaves on the trees.
I have some trail tape marking off the ten, twenty, thirty and fourty yard distances. The crossbow will shoot four inches high at twenty yards, right on at thirty and ten inches low at fourty. Some of the markers are reflective to make finding the blind in the dark easier.
