Those first two pics showed some really good tracks. Didja follow 'em? >:D
-
Yep, John, I surely did/have followed those tracks for many miles. Easier to stand hunt the critter
and it's real easy to pattern. Have found that a judo point don't hurt it none but will shatter a carbon
arrow.
But living 200 yds from a railroad is pretty cool. Most places you can find fairly easy walking and
the stump shooting is hard to beat. I have even seen deer in the woods close to the tracks but
not close enough to take a shot. From where I took the pics it is about a mile and a half to my
house and I have permission to hunt all but a couple hundred yards of it.
Hunting land is kinda like bow building. You go with what you have available.
Lane

Beautiful place to hunt Lane. I figured I would share some of my stomping grounds too. I am blessed to have access to some river bottom land that has lots of hardwoods and some cypress swamps too. I have a share in a little red shack that may not look like much, but is as close to heaven as any place I can think of. It overlooks a 150 acre oxbow off the Tombigbee. We have more hogs than deer and we are over run with deer! ;)

That there looks like a mighty fine place to hunt! I believe I'd be spendin some weekends away right there.
Scott

Thanks Scott. yep, my wife is gonna miss me! I save vacation time all year to get down there and get after them. It takes a serious 4WD vehicle to get there, about five miles from any paved roads on our side of the river. It is far enough down in the woods that I can't hear the highway noise - only an occasional barge passing on the river. The rest is hoot owls and coyotes. life is good. ;)
