MEA 2008 Trail Cameras Pics

We currently have five trail cams. The pictures here are from three of them. The trail cam by the gate had a defective chip and the trail cam just north of the cabin on the fense had no pictures. Below are three sets of pictures. What you can see is where we had food plots, we had deer eating.


Matt's Stand - The trail cam is basically looking north and taking pictures from the intersection of the south end of the 80 and the southeast end of the dozing.














Cabin Pond
















120 Acres - We have a small food plot on the East side of the 120 acres just North of the trail that goes into the state land.













We are feeling pretty good about our success with food plots this year and are looking forward to adding more plots next year.

MEA 2008

What a fun time! MEA is the time to be at the cabin; enjoying company, the outdoors, planning for the fall hunt, and telling stories.

Dick was up with Jason and Madison, Patrick and Sara, Darin and Jamie. Tom was up with Tommy, Dan, John, Micky and a friend. Bob & Sue were up with Chris & Katie, Caleb and Hannah, Mat & Sarah, Paige and Kyla, John and Jeff.

Some of the activities were:
  • Sighting in rifles
  • Tom put up a big stand on the West end of the pasture.
  • John Christenson put up one by the pond in the Northeast corner of the pasture.
  • Dick put up one on the North central part of the 120 acres.
  • Dick also refurnished Watertower at Maryland
  • Campfires
  • Starting a fort in the woods; the start of Moose Scull Lodge II?
  • Catching Frogs
  • And so on and so on . . .
The weather was beautiful. The recent rain had left things pretty wet so the ATVs got really muddy.


Here's Peggy and Floyd on their ATV. What an amazing couple.


Caleb having the time of his life.


Although this might be hard to figure out, Madison, Kyla, and Paige are taking down some small, live trees using nothing but their hands and determination.


Funny how much fun you can have with a frog!

Part of Dick's crew. They took his ATV (in this pic), his trailer also in this pic and loaded it up with crew, furniture, and supplies and went to Watertower . . . and they made it through all the mud and water. I think they only had to winch themselves out once.


Here's John's new stand next to the pond on the Northeast corner of the pasture.


Here's the view from the East side of John's stand. Would be a pretty cool screen saver.


This is a picture of Peggy and Floyd's house. The weather was like this the whole time we were up north. This was Monday morning, October 20th. On Sunday night they had a pretty hard frost and as we were taking these pictures, the leaves were falling like crazy.
If any of you have pictures you would like posted, please send them to me.
