Mature oak forest ridges masked by low land pines and bottom land thickets with hardwoods

Too far out on the western boundary for most to drive
Plus they have made several roads off limits to vehicles which has helped me
In 50 I have ta walk 1/2 mile in on the road to get to my trail now

Has stopped a lot of lazy road hunters and way less pressure on the animals.

In another area i hunt vehicles zip by me 150 yds in the woods

It's a strip of oaks about 200 yds wide by 900 yds long
Northern side of it is a 50 acre pine thicket and the southern side of it is
Bottom land
The eastern side is corn or soybean offpost depending on the year
Have shot 3 nice bucks over the years during the rut in that obvious travel corridor

People can't put 2 and 2 together.
Slumlord knows the spot I'm talking about.

Was in their last weekend. Seen what I needed to see
Same old travel route
Last week of Oct thru Nov I will be in their if I haven't tagged out onpost by then.

Plus a lot of hunters are bubba,s who hang around corn fields and firebreaks solely
Waiting on a gift from god.....



I was helpful to people up until about 6 yrs ago.
Give em advice on spots I hunt deer and turkey
Even set up a couple on how to read a 8 digit grid with a protractor on a mil map
Gave em.lessons gave em maps and protractors
Send em 8 digit grids via pm
Told people grids in Mgrs nad 27 data told em to add 300 meters on northern reading to correspond with wgs83 on their garmin's
Even showed a few how to set their garmin's to nad27 so they didnt have to do math

Used to tell people how my tack trails started and ended
Even kept my foot trails trimmed somewhat for quiet travel
Specially thru thickets that the average schmuck won't attempt

Now the 1st 25 - 50 yds of my trails are left untrimmed on purpose

A lot of these dudes were from the Tn deer website......
Fugging tell em to not ever say a word about info I give em

Ya right....


All that chyt bit me in the ass.
Never got my back scratched in return from any of them fuggers.

Slumlord used to ride me about helping tn deer fuggs out on places to hunt on post.

Geuss I was just trying to be cool helpful guy

Slumlord has gone thru the same crap on his land

Basically mutha fuggers with no skin in the game or sweat equity reap the rewards

I'm done helping others.

Cause if you develop it or say anything about a spot
They will come..
Like locusts....

I can let a 130 -140 class buck walk early in the year or the whole year in pretty good expectations he will survive
In places Ihunt .





Took slumlord into 50 and 44a 6-7 yrs ago.

Fugging looked like an ELO show with all the flashlights in their.

Well that chyt has ceased since I keep my cards to myself now

Don't see fuggers in places I hunt anymore.

If ya look at some of theyounger trees in those pics you can see black rotten remains of branches I have trimmed over the years, for extended shooting lanes.

I shot a ancient serpant 10 pt in area 30 last year in a spot I know their
Prior yrs in the spot I have let a lot of bucks walk
The tagging shack wrote 6.5 + age onthe tag
Buck,s teeth were worn past the end of their picture age chart.
He was on the back side of his antlers.
