BACK TO REALITY FOR JASON.
HE NO LONGER HAS OODLES OF TIME OFF.
HERE ARE A FEW PICS FROM OUR HUNTING
UP NORTH DURING RIFLE SEASON.
HERE'S THE "POWER LINE" STYLE SHOOTING LANES
VIEWED FROM MY NEW CUSHY HEATED TOWER STAND.
ON THE NEARBY STATE LAND...
OUR PLAN TO INTERCEPT THE BUCK JASON SAW
TWICE
BY THE LARGE PINES ON THE LEFT
AS HE CROSSED TO THE SPRUCE POINT ON RIGHT:
FAILED
HE EITHER OUTSMARTED US
OR IS IN SOMEONE ELSE'S FREEZER.
JASON IS CONVINCED THE PINE ISLAND
IN THE SWAMP IS THE BUCKS "HOME".
KIND OF HARD TO SHOOT A BUCK
224 YARDS (RANGED) AWAY WITH HIS BOW.
I PARKED IT ON THE GROUND
WITH MY RIFLE HALF WAY IN BETWEEN JASON'S STAND
& THE SIGHTING LOCATION.
"THE TUNDRA"
OUR NEW STAND LOCATION
SHOWING THE LAY OF OUR PROPERTY
FROM IT'S LOWEST POINT.
WATCHED A LOT OF BIRDS FROM THE STAND.
PRESTON SHOT THIS NICE FORK WITH MY FATHER'S 308.
HE EARNED THAT BUCK, GETTING IT THE LAST WEEKEND.
JASON WAS PRETTY PROUD.
PRESTON HAS SHOT 3 BUCKS, 3 YEARS IN A ROW NOW.
SPIKE, 7, 4.
