I went out for a while this evening. I waited on my daughter to get home from school so she could go but she had a headache and stayed home. I was in the stand about 4:30 until dark. About 6:00 the wind started blowing pretty hard as it is supposed to rain tonight. At about 6:40 he came right up in front of me and walked right by my stand at about 15 yards! Of course now I'm all pumped up, but wishing my daughter had came with me! It was really really hard but I let him walk, maybe she will get him next time. Sorry to let the north guys down! I think this is the same deer. I got these pics off my trail cam before I went hunting.

This is where my family spent our weekend. It is the Moundsville Prison in West Virginia. It was in operation from 1866-1995. It is supposed to be haunted because there were about 900 deaths there over the years. 9 where from Old Sparky! Went went because the wife wanted to go to their haunted house on Friday night. Saturday we went on the prison tour. It was really interesting and only $10/person and lasted over an hour. All the stones were hand cut by the prisoners, and all the art work was done by the prisoners. I only got a few pics of the paintings but there are many more. It was a pretty bad place! There was no heat and some of the cells were all steel! Across the street is a large Indian burial mound(Moundsville). It has a museum for it but we didn't have time to check it out. I wish we would have. There is also a Cabelas store near by. It was awesome!!!! You could spend the whole day and LOTS of money in there! First time we had seen any of this stuff!

The cameras are the $100 Bushnells from Walmart. I think one of them was only $80.

Thanks guys, all good ideas! I think I will get some apple trees planted and clear out a place on the stripped property. That is where I always thought the big ones were anyway. It is just to thick to hunt it. Also the guys from the other farm hunt it to. Maybe next year I will have some apples and a plot or two somewhere on the north side.

I also have trails cut all over that are just wide enough to get a dirt-bike through. I mostly just use them for still hunting.

On point, there are trails exactly where you put them. You only missed one but it is a rock cliff! There are several trails all over the farm cut with a brush hog. We cut hay on some of the food plots you posted but some could be made into plots. The ridge to the north is not hunted (as far as I know). It is all steep hillside. The rest of the property line has access by 4 other farms.One is hunted very hard so I hate to plant food plots for them to kill everything that moves plus the cattle will eat it all. I have some feeders out but as soon as the cows find them they empty them out. We try to let the small deer walk including the bucks and usually only kill one or two does every year. We dont eat that much deer meat and it is hard to find anybody around here to give it to or we would kill more does. I don't we are making any difference in the herd because of the neighbors killing everything. There is 2 of us hunting on our place and atleast 10 hunt on the one other farm! You guys are a lot better at this than me!!lol
