A whole lot of mining activity...Both past and present around here. The woods are criscrossed with old overgrown mining and logging roads.
I just can't stand to sit in one place too long. I'm always wondering what might be right over that next rise or on the other side of that thicket.
I generally just park my vehicle down low....near the creek or railroad tracks and start sneaking along some of those old roads. Always hunting uphill and into the wind.
Sometimes it works out, Most of the time it don't but when I do kill one, I have a downhill drag.
One other thing, I'm only 52 years old but dragging deer is getting tougher each and every year so I have been holding out for the smaller ones. Got me a trophy doe a week and a half ago.....Got tenderloins, backstraps , 2 roasts and 17 pounds of burger out of her....Very easy to drag.
Why drag?
