Playing catchup… Yesterday (04222018), being a Sunday, was supposedly a day of rest so I did… Sort of. I rested from the “necessary” hard work and focused on “fun” hard work. After church I spent a few hours walking the property…
After checking the trail cameras I focused on making my “archery ground blind” into a usable location. It meant a lot of cutting and trimming and clearing but in the end, I have an excellent “hideout” that sits along two significant game trails. I have great hopes of filling the freezer this fall!
Between Bears, Wolves & Cougars it always pays to be prepared when in the great north woods.

I did find a few “Natural Occurrences” on today’s walk…
Here is a “Rub”, both an old one (right) and a new one. This is caused when a buck is working to remove the velvet from his antlers and is a very good sign that mature bucks are on the property. At least during the mid to late summer…
Here is a small body of water that had frog eggs though they are hard to see. This likely won’t last that long but it is fun to see…
I came across this odd looking pile of stick and branches and branchs and decided for a closer look…
As I got closer I realized that things were moving! What the Heck???
Now I know why it looked like it was moving, it was! Carpenter Ants; millions of them! WOW, what a thing to see…
