Sgt Furys December story

My October story was about getting my new blind ready for the upcoming season. My November story was about getting my buddies camp ready. This months story is about the maintainance I had to do on my hunting property.
I’m always doing small stuff to make it better...like adding a fishing dock on the pond and putting small stone where I park my truck to help with the mud. This project cost me a bit more coin but it is something that had to be done.

A couple of years ago I had a guy come in with a dozer and put in a road so I could get my quad from where I park my truck to the rear of my hunting grounds safely. The hillside was too steep to navigate, especially hauling bait in or a deer out. That road took a beating with all of the rain we had this year. I gave the same guy a call and he met me out there. I showed him what was going on and we came up with a game plan.

He dug a ditch across the road and placed a culvert, covered it with stone then finally with dirt. He placed smaller stone where the road was low and gathered a lot of water. We placed stone where the water eroded along the road to divert it into the plastic pipe he had placed. Finally, at a low spot where the road had eroded to a ten foot drop off, he placed large stone to fill in the eroded spot. Hopefully the road will last for a few more years before it needs any more maintainance. Here are a few picks of what it looks like now....
