One of my favorite places to go
« on: October 31, 2009, 03:20:50 PM »
This morning I had to hunt alone since my partner had to work, and so I head out to the property and find the old homesteaders cabin.  What is left of it is a shell, with no roof and little comfort in the rain like it was today.  In the corner are my Badlands Day Pack, and my Handi Rifle 7mm-08 just waiting for a whitetail to come by.

But shots taken from the walls will show you, that its just a natural blind to play the wait game.  Unfortunetly, nothing was moving in the woods today of the whitetail kind.





This small branches need some thining out for a good shooter lane, as deflection could be the end result causing a bad shot.



Finally in the last picture, is a bucks skull that I found on another ridge over looking a deer highway.  I just happen to look down and saw this, so I took the picture before I took the skull with me.

Nice pics! Looks like a great spot, I understand why its a favorite. How old do think that cabin is, Is there a water hole nearby? Thanks for the post Montanan

Oldshooter - If those walls could talk, near as we can tell its early 1899/1900 circa.  I would have sat there all day, but was getting wet from the rain and bailed after 2 hours since this is several miles back in.  Nothing was moving thru these woods today, and after the clouds finally broke I could see why with the full moon that the deer had last night to feed by.  I may be heading back into this area tomorrow morning.

I spend alot of time here away from everyone and everything.
