(P) Scouting for 2011

Sorry that I haven't posted anything on the blog for a few months. It has been a cold winter with a lot of snow. It has been hard to get motivated to work outside with the conditions that we have experienced. However, I did purchase almost all of my new gear for the upcoming fall. I switched my arrows back to the Easton Axis Nano's. They are very tough, accurate and the least affected by our consistent Kansas winds. I also purchased another Scent Blocker suit and a new pair of snake boots. I can't wait for turkey season.

Well, my cousin Steve left today after spending 5 days helping me scout our properties and hanging stand sets for next fall. We found a few sheds as we worked but no huge ones. My Dad found one side of the younger Crab Claw 10 which survived last year. Steve found a dead buck that was very respectable (mid 160's) that looked as if he was hit by a car sometime last winter. We were able to scout and hang stands on 1560 acres. This was a great accomplishment because we picked up a couple of new farms this year that we have never seen before. We only have 2 farms left to hang stands on. AWESOME! Thanks for the help Steve.
