Hanging stands

Thanks to help from guys on here and a few good friends who borrowed or just plain gave them to me, I have 5 tree stands and 2 nice natural ground blinds. Clint I've been clearing dead ash trees from my fence rows when I've had time off and on for a month. Finally had the logs piled to make fire wood and was burning brush and stumps. My neighbor drove his pickup back and we were visiting watching the fire burn. I said look John there's a doe, it was about 6 yards from my loader tractor. we continued to visit while it grazed on the clover cover crop totally ignoring us. After about 45 min. John said he had to leave. I watched the doe as he walked to his pickup started it up backed up towards the doe and drove away down the trail with just a slight twich of the tail but stayed right there. I waited for her to move off before I gather the fire together and took my loader tractor home. They really seem to know when your working and when its hunting season.

PS Clint maybe you could wrap some sinew on that split tree. lol. but seriously it is a lot harder to find good tree stand tree's with all the dead ash. If you can cut them as soon as you can cause after a couple years they get dangerous to fall with chainsaw

Our property is loaded with huge ash trees BJ.  We looked into getting it logged several years ago before the borers hit us.  We decided against it because of the damage the logging crew would have done to our land.  I'm not crazy about the idea of dropping 24"+ diameter ash trees. 

bjrogg:
I hear you Clint it still hurts to look at all that beautiful wood just going to compost. I have noticed that a lot of maple and other types of saplings are really stretching out and millions of seedling have sprouted. Hopefully it won't look like fall in the ash woods year round soon.
