I just went out, and shot my bow a couple of times.
Shot just fine, but a couple of times was all I could stand.
I'll be able to make a hunting shot no problem.
Last couple of days I've been building a directional feeder for here at the home place.
Not near as fancy as the one for the river place, but it'll work good, and I don't have cattle to contend with here. Hope to get it set out with a blind sometime soon, and that will give me two spots to hunt.
Our ranch is not over run by game but it's ours. Still have to travel though. At least a "home place" you can hunt a morning or evening anytime. Most of us only dream of that.

A home place is nice. We have lots of turkey, but deer & hogs are in short supply.
The biggest problem here is, it's only 40 acres, and we are surrounded by a lot of human activity. I am working on trying to create a way to attract the animals to the center of the place with a water station, and protein feed. That spot will never be hunted, and I will set up a hunting spot (maybe a couple) on the outer edges of the property where the animals are traveling in & out.
I have some painters drop tarps, canvas, that were used for a VBS once upon a time. I will drape one then in have a EZ up shelter too like deal that will go over the top. The corners will hold it down. The another canvas over the top, some camo burlap around the outside. I used it last year but only had a PVC conduit frame for the top. It sagged and was never tall enough to shoot a trad bow out of anyhow. Although I did kill 2 doe, one cull and a couple pigs out of it with my Carbon Spyder 30.
But my needs have changed so I used part of a panel and some cable clamps to secure it for the roof. I'll post up more as I go. Wasn't trying to hijack Ricks thread. Just his blind build was reminiscent of mine. He always has something neat going on though.
