Good news, I dug a new hole and moved the out house.
Something clever here.

That is good news.
This is the part of the season I like the best. Getting ready. Figuring out food, clothes, firewood, how many cases of beer. I like the hunting too but this is my favorite. Right up until I figure out what I forgot. Like when I put stuff on the kitchen table so I don't forget it before I leave.

past 3 weekends have been a lot of hard work, mostly camp maintenance stuff.

Right up until I figure out what I forgot. Like when I put stuff on the kitchen table so I don't forget it before I leave. Tom-I may have told you this story before, speaking of stuff you forgot. Dad would start packing for deer camp at least two weeks before departure. I well remember the ever increasing pile of gear accumulating in the dining room. Mom used to get pissed because she couldn't get to the mangle she used to iron the sheets. So Dad packed for two weeks, and routinely managed to forget to bring ammo for his rifle! There was a little general store at the turn off to head up the mountain roads that led to camp. (Mrs. Cornelius's General Store in Sabula, Pa. on 255, in case anyone remembers) This was always the last stop on the way to camp. She always kept a box of .300 Savage ammo set aside for Dad, as she knew he'd be in for it. We have about 11 boxes of 300 ammo, all with one round shot out of them from all the times Dad ended up forgetting his ammo. My brother has this collection now, and it's pleasant reminder of Dad and a bygone time.

Always one more than the previous year. Ya. It’s not a static number. It usually coincides with the depth of snow.

I prefer whisky Tom if you're taking notes 😉

Cleaned out the Biffy, shook out the rugs, stacked some firewood in the rack on the front porch, filled water jugs (we don't have a well yet...waiting on the driller to come in the next month...we hope).
Sent the boys a few pics from the cameras and reminded them all to make sure they sight in their rifles!
Put up a new stand about 60 yards off the trail I got some pics of a nice 10pt with a kicker.
So the 4 hunters have 5 elevated stands spread over 281 acres of woods. Hope to get a few more stands up in the next year (at least 2 more...essentially one per 40 acres).
MO rifle season starts on 11/14 and I can't wait to have my son, son-in-law, brother-in-law and friend at the cabin.
This will be our 10th year on the property and 6th year with the cabin. What a treat!

Dave-how much snow did you guys end up with up your way? I'm going out today to do some scouting while this stuff's on the ground. It's supposed to warm up down here mid week.

Maybe 3 inches, which melted in the open areas and settled 50% in the woods. And a fresh dusting last night.

We probably 6” at my place. It’s melted into about 1” of hard crunchy snow. It can leave now. Lol
