Good looking habitat sky. You reckon you can hit a rabbit running across that lane?

Thanks. Sure I can hit one running across that path .. I would love to tell you I kill darn near everyone crossing it but .. That would be a big lie lol The deer also run down the paths to get speed in front of the dogs so standers stand off about 40 yds off that path. I hope santa brings me a new gun cam so I can show you how many I miss :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :mrgreen: I was going to turn the powerline into row crops but decided not too cause deer walk and lay in it all the time and rabbits love it. I just cut paths but since its a right of way the powerline company comes and cuts it completely every 3 years which sucks.

Most power companies have a cost share plan for keeping the power lines mowed. And some like GA Transmission have a WINGS program. It stands for Wildlife Incentives for Non game and Game Species. We have 110 acres enrolled in their programs and we plant all kinds of stuff for the wildlife. But the best part is we have wildlife travel corridors that we keep mowed and put where we want to make the game travel.

How did the Indians hunt back before someone invented mowers?

While you are hunting I would be happy to keep that mower greased and exercised. 
On my fields.

Sky, both of our large power companies have wildlife enhancement projects. Find out who owns them and then do a Internet search.

Wife got on me about lifting deer up to get it on a come along and cranking it so she fixed that problem. I cleaned out a junk hole in my shed and wired up some light we had thought we were gonna use when built my house. I am planning on putting tar paper on the inside but maybe not. I have a propane heater to use in there so I will be warm and cozy while cleaninig deer or helping someone clean theres or stay dry.
