Stone Branch

Thanks so much everyone. This is the morning after picture that I envisioned in my mind when I bought Stone Branch.

Thanks guys.

So far so good. I expected a challenge and so far it has been one. Much harder to pattern these skittish animals.

Thanks, Drahts.

So, deer hunting is over, for a few days I had some trouble adjusting. Habitat season begins.



My food plot planted in late September in front of the AOH stand



is feeding deer.



I have manipulated the top of my ridge now and I'm now looking down through my stand area into the deep below.



I have a skid trail down that needs some work to enter my next work areas.



Logging tops circa 1996.



To the east I have my new oak savanna with an understory of red maple hacked and squirt in October.



To the west I have untouched, by me, nonsense down under my stand.



Yesterday I cleared the trail down into my work area to a point that I could turn around.



Another 80 yards and the trail came to an end.

I then raked out a perimeter fire break and tried it out.



It was ready but I had too much interior prep left to do so the fire got put out.



Today I went up and smoked it.





I had a little excitement towards the end when the wind shifted 180*.
