Fall projects

As everyone who knows me knows fall is my time of the year. Sunday concluded Ohio's 2 day antlerless muzzleloader season. It was far my best, Why, not because I got a deer, I didn't. it was because I had a young bobcat right at my feet. As I was watching some turkeys 100 yds off in the distance a motion out of the corner of my eye and here was this young bobcat 20 feet away staring me down. We made eye contact and he bounded straight at me, then stopped a mere 5 feet away. He must have decided I was much to fat to try to eat in one sitting, so he melted off into the woods to look for different meal. That was the coolest thing I've ever had happen to me in the 40 plus years I've  been wandering around in the woods. I've been working in some more coin rings, except this time I'm rolling them over so to stamping in on the outside. Getting a certain size has proved difficult, and now have way more rings than fingers. It's therapeutic in an obsessive compulsive way. Also thought you know what else I need. Tree house/deer stand. 2 pieces of unistrut,some scrap wood and some screws, and there you go. A commanding view of the field and river is outstanding, plus a great place to ambush a big buck. I promised Taunya that her little fawn was off limits. Besides her mother was killed by a car in front of the house a couple months ago.
