Our Year at The Deer Lease 2012-13 Part 1

Hey Guys

Sorry for the Lack of Post - as you will see we have been busy...

My son Zale and I joined our 1st hunting lease in Sept 2011 on a impulse - we were looking for something to do when the offshore fishing turns too rough...

That first few months we hunted out of ground blinds near un-established feeders and never even saw a deer.

We made big plans for 2012 - We would build a platform stand were there were a ton of hogs on camera and create a dedicated Hog hunting spot.

We would also set up dedicated deer hunting spot deep in the woods near a creek with a triple intersecting game trails.

We build the hog hunting platform and put a ground blind on it....

Put two man tripod stand and a feeder in the deep woods for deer hunting

View from tripod stand to feeder and view from feeder to stand...

We put feed plots in - which was hard work for two city guys

Food plots turned out very well

Zale was ready for action!

Standing next to that deer he was so excited and proud - he gave me a big hung and said "Thanks Dad" - Well it doesn't get any better than that.....
