    Spook are you saying it would be best to go upto hundred acres and sit there for a bit? Or head down the other side.
    If god didn't want us to eat animals he wouldn't have made them out of food.

    A lot of deer are shot on and around the 100 acres, many of them with the aid of spotlights...there are a couple of areas worth 'a sit'...call by sometime and i'll give you the nod where to go.
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.

    Some of the best hunting is when you are supposed to be in school

    Weren't we going for a horse trek with Spook up there some time?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Where the cross roads to the 100 acres used to be
    Name: IMG_1559.JPG Views: 634 Size: 441.4 KB
    The track from the crossroads up to the 100 acres is blocked with felled trees
    The road in places is not the best

    Boy is that a slip about to happen or what (last picture left of horses ear)

    There are still ways-and-means of hunting up there...just gotta put a bit more effort into it...as the loggers move a bit more to the north stands of trees they will chew it up a bit as this photo shows...

    They haven't thrashed the swamp and the little grass clearing (right of centre in photo below) that one used to have to sneak up on is now clearly seen from the road.

    For those that know the area...the swamp is behind and to the right of the machinery and the cross roads are to the right, out of frame
    Name: IMG_1548.JPG Views: 1036 Size: 506.1 KB
    And the only 'sign' we seen were these 'tracks'
