Sunday will be the first time I head into the woods with TJ, clad in Mossy-Oak Camo from head to toe, wearing Snake-Bite (proof) boots and possibly lugging 50lbs of gear deep into the Wildlife Management Park. We'll be quiet, and hope an Archer doesn't mistake us for a Deer - their broadhead arrows would surely cause some grievous damage if not out right death if struck. "So," you might say, "why are you going out into the woods during Archery season?". Why, the answer to that is simple: to go scouting. This sunday is the only day TJ has been able to get free to do so, so we're going to trek into the swampy lands to check up on his two treestands - if they are still there and in working condition, we will most likely be moving them to a new spot, and scouting for suitable places to set up.
Looking at Google Maps of the area, i've picked out a spot a half mile or two North of where TJ's treestands are currently position, where trees give way to clearing/swamp area. I figure some deer, skirting the swamp, will pass that way. I'll check for tacks etc before setting up, but its something I am looking forward to this weekend.
Tomorrow is also going to be Hell Day. At work, we are switching phone systems, so will be making the switch over tomorrow night, after everyone leaves. That means setting up 30 phones, hoping they all work, changing the system/servers, etc. I'm not expecting to leave until around midnight, if not into the AM of Saturday. Fingers crossed.
