I confess that I hunt over bait from a nice heated blind. I spent many years sitting by a runway on a stump, but I just can't take the cold any more. I guess my He-Man days are over.

Last winter before I left for FL, I put about 3 tons of nice, second cutting hay out for the deer. While I was gone and hearing about the severe conditions, I worried that "my" deer would run out of food and succumb to the weather.

When I got back, there was still some hay left...good news and bad news...the deer never ran out of food, but there weren't enough deer to eat the food.

And...the wolf tracks around the hay piles can make you wonder just exactly WHICH animals you are feeding...
