Just talking to my neighbour, who was driving home in his skidsteer on Saturday afternoon. 4:55pm, 50 yards from one of our trails & 150 yards from stand area. Apparently, he just stood there & looked, while 3 photos were taken ! Paul. "Kids who grow up hunting, fishing & trapping, do not mug little old Ladies"

It makes it pretty easy to slip in there undetected.
