JW_Halverson:
Wishing you mucho mojo and nothing but clean kills or clean misses from it!

bjrogg:
Thanks JW. Last year was clean miss. That's one of the big reasons for the new ladder stand and putting it up by my house to practice more. I do like this stand better. I like the seat folds up and I half a bigger platform to stand on. I can stand turned to the my right for shoots from the right side. It feels more comfortable standing on it and much better setting on it. I can hit what I'm shooting at from all directions. Now just gotta practice till it automatic. Cause when the time comes that's how it's gotta be.

That a big field of beans. They are likely to spread out all over it once heading into it. I would assume your hunting the trail out from the bedding area?

bjrogg:
Yes Rob. Gotta get em coming and going. It's a pretty good challenge. I can use some bait to try steer them in the direction I want them to go. It does help. They like certain spots and I know the land almost as good as they do. They are creatures of habit but also throw a lot of curves. I guess that's what makes it interesting. Even if they don't get close enough they usually get pretty close and I get to watch them. Sometimes I just setup far enough away that they don't know I'm watching and observe where they enter and exit the field. Then I just try to setup closer. This is really just my practice spot but I might try to draw them in. It's usually dark by the time they come to my garden during season. They will be hitting these beans hard now, but the beans will be ripe and hopefully harvested a few weeks before season. Hopefully will have wheat planted and up by then and volunteer beans growing from the ones the harvestor missed.

Between the corn and beans, they should make sleek, fat venison, with tallow left over for candles, or pemmican, maybe even bow grease! (SH) :-D!
