First one down this season - 10/26/17 01:38 PM
Got on a new lease this season. We run quail dogs so we keep getting farther and farther into West Tx to get into quail but also the deer hunting keeps getting more interesting. We've been about an hour north of Abilene the last few years. This year we got on a huge property for a great price. The catch is it's even farther North West. It's a 7hr ride from my home in Wimberley. This area really doesn't have big trees. I mostly just bowhunt so I use tripods mostly. My tripods were obsolete cause they were to high. I ended up using 2 10footers and a 12 footer. They are actually still to tall but I'm making it work.
So the dove hunting was a blast and we spent our whole September doing that at a small bird hunting property we have. I knew I needed to set up for archery but time only allowed me to get feeders and pens set up. So I get out there last weekend with the priority to get work done. I had 3 tripods to set up. Here's a pic of one of the cheap 10ft tripods I brought at Acadamy. 89bucks. It weighs 65 pounds and it folds up. Decent deal I thought.
Then I got it set up and wired up branches to the tree. Not much cover as you can see.
Sorry to be continued. I have to get to work
