Headlong Into Hunting at Longridge

OK, we are all ready to start hunting at Long Ridge. There won't be any early bow hunting here because I do not want to heat up the stands before regular deer camp season. We may have a 'bow hunting' day, but that would be the extent of it. Because we are a QDMA parcel, we watch what we do... check out these bear babes below. They were not born on this property but have shown on multiple cameras...

 

I have never, in twenty years of managing deer property seen so many fawns survive as this year. Tons of bears, a scatter of coyotes, and still, almost every doe has a fawn or two or three!

This boy is just one of many that we have our eyes on...

Not sure what spooked this deer, but it might have been the camera...

Little guys, running, training, and learning to survive...they really do beat up the food plots..(and we don't mind)

A taker...



This week we tighten up the straps on the stands, replace those that are worn, put broad  heads on our arrows, and hit the woods. I wish you all luck and skill in your hunting endeavors! Jack
