Hung my first stand of the year yesterday
Like Jesse, I figured since I hung my first new set yesterday and been running some cams since a week or two before turkey season I better just go ahead and start my journal now. It really helps me stay motivated and the time line documentation really helps me connect some dots in the future.
The set I hung yesterday is 80 yards away from where I had hunted the last two years across the creek from the main part of the farm. It's basically a funnel but very hard to hunt due to the way the wind swirls among the large stand of timber but nothing ventured is nothing gained. It will be mostly ideal for a westerly or easterly wind due to the fact the deer will be traveling north or south. I'll probably hunt either just mornings due to the thermals or if I have a steady light favorable wind I might just hunt it from dark to dark some TOO.
Here are some pics
View to the west
View to the north
View to the east(there's a huge cornfield 34-40 yds away)
View to the south behind my tree
My platform is just over 20-22 feet from the ground
I'll post view pics as my stands get put up. Hopefully one or two on Friday!
