Well this Saturday was work on the lease day. I needed to clear out some overgrowth for shooting lanes. There was shooting lanes already cut but who ever did it had it all wrong. They had it set up so their scent would blow right into the feeder. After about 5 hours with a brush cutter and a chain saw I got it good to go, with the wind in my favor. I left some pockets of brush so the game feel some what safe.
I still need to put up a blind and cleared a area for it, I also still need to build the blind too. I got a hold of some captain's chairs out of a 2012 Dodge Caravan. I also acquired a couple wheel hubs off a BMW to make them swivel quietly. I just need to figure out how I am going to mount them. I plan to build a 4x6 box blind with a porch and probably 8' or so off the ground. When I get the blind built and dropped off at it's final resting place I will get you guys some pics, which will be next weekend hopefully.
This is a picture of the view from the tree blind that I put up to have more options if the wind changes on me. The feeder is about 50 yards away with a cross wind. You cannot really see it but to the right is where the blind will go, and that will be about 100 yard shot to the feeder with the wind in my face. After that you guys should be seeing dead pig threads.
I did manage to pop this cub when I was leaving the lease. I didn't go out there with plans to kill something, but hey that is why I always bring both my day and night gun with me. So I was driving out after talking with a fellow hunter at camp, this was about 10pm. I saw this cub standing in the road about 100 yards out. So I quickly turned off my headlights and stopped the truck, pulled out the night gun opened the drivers door to use it as a rest. Watched him for a little bit to see if he had mama with him, which he didn't.
This is what a 6.8 SPC with a 120 SST out of a 16" barrel does to yotes at 100 yards. Needless to say with that small of a animal he just didn't DRT, more like a FRT (Flip Right There). Check out the exit and amout of blood from such a little guy.
