I had a good long weekend at my lease. We got a good rain storm Saturday around 1 PM. We ended up killing one hog and a 4.5' rattlesnake. Deer hit the protein harder this past month than they did the month before. Not sure why but it made me happy. Saw a few does that were still pregnant. Tried to predator call two nights but we didn't call anything in.
Place is greener than I have ever seen it and there are flowers everywhere. We even have a few patches of bluebonnets which was surprising.

Weekend Trip
Made a trip to the property this past weekend (30 miles south-ish of Rocksprings). Was a great work trip with clearing lots of cedar for shooting lanes and repositioning some stands and filling feeders. Made a new trail camera stand out of an old x-mas tree stand and a 4x4. Got to sit in the stand for the evening saw 3 axis does and heard two bulls bellowing at each other for about 20 minutes. Also, the wildflowers on the drive down 377 were everywhere!

I use a electric pole saw to cut down the limbs on a small section so I can get right next trunk and then cut the trunk as close as I can.

Gotcha. I am with you on the ticks, I use the pole saw to help minimize the amount I am exposed to. I have the greenworks 80v pole saw and their chain saw also. The batteries last long enough to get a good amount of work done. I am thinking about ordering another battery so I can always have one on the charger. Also the batteries charge quickly.

I was starting with just shooting lanes and around our oaks but was considering clearing a lot more. Just do not want to change their pattern too much if I take away to much cover. We are on a 58 acre tract of land.
