Miscellaneous

Friday arrival and setup. Not exactly camping in tents anymore.

We had a productive day at the lease this weekend. All blinds were fully cleaned and swept out, we lowered the bottom window ledge so that blind chairs do not have to be set on the highest level, stair repair was done where needed and weed eater cleanup was done to make getting to the blinds easy. Feeders have corn, blinds have chairs and the fire pit in camp was cleaned up and is ready to use.

It was time to move Top Side into a new position so that people hunting in the blind don't get an eye full of sun in the evenings. Putting the stand and feeder into a new spot, albeit not far from the original, allows for a wider field of view without being blinded.

To make moving the blind easier, we first grabbed some tin from the remains of Pier1 to make skids to slide it:



Once we had the tin in place, we attached the tow straps:



After swinging the stand to be aligned with the road, we rig to slide down the road to it's final position:



And the final move to it's new spot:

The property owner will have a church retreat on his property during October 11th through the 13th. The owner asks that we not utilize the property during this time for privacy and safety reasons.

This is one of two weekends during the entire year that the property owner requests exclusive use of the property for personal use.

We replaced the old site today with this brand new shiny site. We hope you enjoy what we post here and have as much fun reading about our time and experiences on this hunting lease as we had experiencing it.
