Take a deep breath and take a break. Spend time hunting with your dad if you can. Those are priceless moments that should be enjoyed to the fullest. The firewood will still be there after hunting season. Cheers

You are right… I even have a week of vacation left for deer season this year!

You have what looks like such a great property. Sometimes it’s good to step away from the normal work you do on the property, and do something to relax and really enjoy the property. I am with everybody else here take some time off and enjoy your hunt.

Filling the freezer with venison is also good. Enjoy your hunting season, Jason!

Dad and I built lots of corduroy roads when I was 14 year. At 60 years old I went into the same area to help build an ATV road. Interesting to note the corduroy road sections were still in place and very solid. If the wood gets buried in the mud or cover over with dirt it lasts longer as the wood does not rot very quickly with no oxygen from being buried.

That is great feedback. I was impressed with how stable the road becomes as soon as it is built. I can see how it would firm up even more over time as everything settles seasonally. Thanks!

Love the woodlot and watching these videos. I'd love to see you post a video of your deer hunt.

Thanks for the awesome feedback! Our hunts are pretty boring…. I may be able to get some video though!

There's an old saying. All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy. Good luck filling your tag. Now, I need to heed my own words and do the same lol

Dad has connected with a couple of nice bucks over the last few years…. You’ve got to put the time in to get those big boys!

You said " you guys tell me what you'd do"..... in reference to deer hunting..... As much as I love the woods I am a retired deer hunter after sitting in stands almost freezing to death even though I live in Georgia so do what I do. I buy meat locally grown soon after it's been butchered because it's already processed completely ready to cook, can or throw in the freezer wrapped and labeled. Yep I'm retired from hunting but sometimes the deer get into my orchard or garden even with fences so occasionally deer steak and gravy is on the table. As far as cost wise in buying or hunting it's close to the same. If I included my labor in the cost the butchered beef is probably cheaper. I'm also lazy. Your Retriever always wants to help. Beautiful dog. God Bless. NW ga.

That’s an option too! We have an excellent butcher shop 5 kms away and lots of local beef farms as well. I have to get bundled up good for the stand!

Jason thats why i bought a camp and land in the Adirondacks. Three miles in and its the tranquility more than hunting now for me. Yes still take my gun for a walk. 😅

Deer season only comes once a year , take the time off . I am also looking forward to deer hunting . I hope you get a big one. I am from this area, and have taken a few deer to Blackies meat shop. I enjoy your videos.

Thanks Noel. I actually went out for a bird hunt after we finished with this video!

@shanetaylor-gl4mx 8 ай бұрын

well the good thing about hunting is you can take some time for your self because just sitting in the bush alone with nature is as good as it gets and if you get lucky and a deer gets a tad sloppy you have just added some good meat to the table and big bucks are not as a young one or a fat dry doe is the best but you cant eat the antlers and they make lousy soup lol but you had the enjoyment of being in the bush and seeing nature at its greatest good hunting bud

@OakMountainAcotts 8 ай бұрын

Thanks. Dad connected with a nice 7 point one field over. We actually got the meat back from the butcher today. It was nice to field dress and skin the deer out with Dad. We’ve done a few of them!

In 30 years from now, will you miss the few cords of firewood you did not sell or the extra time you had to slow down and hunt? Thanks!

@OakMountainAcotts 9 ай бұрын

Exactly… hunting it is!

I have done nearly 40 cord in the last month with my WP845. Its not an easy way of making a living, must have some sitting down time.

Right! You can get caught in a rut quite easily!

Maybe you’ll get your deer early and get back to cutting wood. I’m torn every fall too, I love to hunt and I love to work…

@OakMountainAcotts 9 ай бұрын

I’ll try to do both but if a choice needs to be made, I’m going hunting this year!

@gunnie799 9 ай бұрын

Get out and hunt
