Well, it finally happened. One of my favorite hunting stand sites got logged. It was it some big timber alongside a swamp. Trees like that won't grow back in my lifetime. Here's what "my tractor did for me". A few pics of how I got my stand site fixed up again since the location is still a really good spot. I plan to sow some winter rye. It seems like a lot of work, but really is not...since it is fun and done for enjoyment. Where I live in SC, deer season ends the 1st of January but we hunt hogs thru March. Then deer season begins August 15, once again.
1st pic...What things looked like after the logging. A lot of tree tops and limbs. I had to push a trail to get to my stand with the tractor first.
2nd pic...I cleared out some debris and moved the tripod to the edge of the treeline. It will blend in better when the weeds, briars and trees thicken and grow back up.
3rd pic...Got it moved and in place.
4th pic...Some of what I cleared.
5th pic...All done! Hope you can see the stand..waaay back there! The blue markings on the trees were sprayed by the loggers to mark the cutting line.
