Made it up to my place on Saturday for some last minute prep before season. Had a feeder that I had put rice bran mixed with corn in and it had got water inside, and the bran caked up and molded. Cleaned it out and moved it to a tree line where the deer are traveling across the power line.
Checked cards and still have about 4-5 does coming through with 3 fawns in the mix. 1 small young spike and 1 tall spike/fork. Patiently waiting for my mature bucks to get into their fall range and show up. They should start rolling in in the next month.
Got a pop up blind setup at the camp feeder, that feeder isn’t getting much action from the deer yet. Coons and a big pig are hitting it daily though. It’ll be a perfect spot for the times where I’m running late or don’t want to disturb anything on my place.
Also trimmed up some shooting lanes for a tree stand that I’ll place by opening weekend. It’s on the power line and I have mowed some paths in the tall vegetation for the deer to travel down. Also moved my main power line feeder on that same tree line. Had pics in front of that tree of 7 deer using the hand corn there and hoping they’ll continue to hit the feeder now.
Setup 2 mock scrapes and put up cams on both.
Also fixed a spot in the fence around one of my gates for a quick temporary fix. Was having people riding horses walk around that gate and ride around.
Season and cooler weather can’t get here soon enough!
