Steve's thoughts, idea's and ramblings
Guys, This is going to be a page just for my thoughts, plans in the works, future plans, idea's and some just me thinking out loud.First, we're planning on building a crossing on the creek behind the camp on Harbin Bridge this spring. Mr W sold off 220 acres of timber at the 4-way, it's that section between Bent Trail and Harbin Bridge. I've ask they clear off at least one acre there for at least one new large plot.Most of you are aware we have coyote's, as good a job as the trapper is doing, in a month or six weeks that’s going to read we had a coyote problem, he's trapped 28 so far, combined with what we killed during rifle season I figure we have about 60 less now than we did. The trapping will be a continuing year-round program.There will be a rules change about gut piles. I've always field dressed my deer where they fell and told you guys its ok to do that , the new policy is "don't feed the coyotes", I'm going to have a gut pile dumping hole put in for us, somewhere between the two camps. Enough about yotes.Just some random thoughts about you, me and the club: I hope every member would at least visit QDMA's web site and see what its all about; its where most my ideas come from.I wish when members were walking the plots they'd take a long handled screwdriver with them and dig out and throw rocks out of all the plots. When I'm on the tractor sometimes it feels like there's more rocks in some of them than dirt.One other thing and I'll quit til later; most all of us make some type lick or hang a feeder for the deer, comeheredeer, deer-cain, salt, black magic, etc. Just something to think about; I'd never ask anyone or expect anyone to spend money they didn't want to. Puretia makes a deer chow for feeders and Whitetail Institute has a product called 30-06 worth looking at for making a lick. A look at our plots and the increase in our deer's size will tell you they make good deer products, like I said, these are just my thoughts, not asking or suggesting anything to you.Oh, and if you should see a coyote this season--- SHOOT THAT THANG!! Thanks, Steve
