Thin small brush and undergrowth behind feeder. Trim trees and brush on road to camp so the bruch etc does not hit vehicle. Get enough firewood cut to last the year. Keep grass and weeds cut around camp area. Some work to be done on lease house.

I don't even count trimming lease roads or cutting grass at the camp as "projects" anymore as they're year-round duties for me. I've given up asking for help.

Too much, didn’t get half of what I wanted to do last year. BIL got hurt helping me so put a huge damper in plans. I’ll shoot for 2-3 watering stations and setting up couple blinds I didn’t get to set up. Anything past that will be icing on the cake.

We don't have near as many since the last timber cutting, but the deer are still eating acorns. I walked a mile thru our neighborhood and the deer were under the oak trees finishing up what is left.
As for off-season work, I am finally going to put a pen around 1 maybe 2 feeders to keep the hogs out.

Complete the needed work on the cabin, build a new stand keep clearing brush in some way over grown places. Clean off a drainage ditch and open up a spot mote for the new stand and food plot.

Needing to keep our 3 protein pellet feeders filled starting mid January until the big spring green up. Haul water to keep water guzzlers filled. Burn trash pile by camp (provided its wet with no wind.) Build a 20' x 20' gazebo next to the ranch house. Finish with framing out my new deer stand and get it set up.

We have to cut down about 16 very large pine trees in our camp area. The fire last march killed more than we were originally anticipating. Add and bury more electrical line to different areas of camp since the fire. Add a new skinning shed, but they should be building it where we tell them. Build a bigger stand so I can take both boys with me. Thinking maybe a 8'x6' should do. We've got a lot to do this year.

I have a bull dozer as we speak carving me out a new 2 acre food plot on south end of my property. It's taking longer
