Headin' out! *updated pics*
« on: October 24, 2011, 11:47:59 am »
My bestest friend in the world and I are heading to Madison, Indiana for a 5 day deer hunt Wednesday morning with a farmer friend, cant wait! This will be my first out of state deer hunt and I cant hardly sleep at night. We have 620 acres for the 3 of us to hunt, all to ourselves. My farmer buddy has been eyeballing a few nice bucks so far. The bonus of all this is the fact he is COVERED in osage down there and said he would be more than happy to cut down whatever trees I want and as many as I want................WHOA! Sounds like a lifetime supply of hedge to me. I am hauling my covered wagon down to load up! My goal is 50-60 staves worth. That alone will be worth the price of admission.  ;)

Two Tracks Chuck and I splitting a few logs Wednesday. I wouldnt even want to attempt it without some help. Most of the logs have 1/4" or thicker rings with almost invisible early growth. I would dare call them premium osage logs/staves. ;D

  AWESOME
 Split up your time scouting (glassing if possable) and hunting. I'm a big fan of scouting from afar. IT WILL PAY OF IN THE LONG RUN. I never just hunt blindly or maybe the land owner can point you in the right direction. Spend those first scouting days use the mid day to cutting Osage.
  Can't go wrong with INDIANA and big bucks. I'd be sleepless also. GOOD LUCK with the hunting and OSAGE.

Man... That sounds like one Heck of a Hunt!

A certain ZZTop song comes to mind,  "Dirty Dog"!   8)

Sharpen and deburr your splitting wedges and make sure you take plenty of Advil and Icy Hot along for the Wood Work!!!
I have to say, as much of my blood as has been drawn by Bodarc, I do love me some Yeller Wood!

Oh Yeah, and make sure your skinnin' knives are sharp and your camera batteries are charged!!!
Take plenty of photos for those of us going through hunting withdrawls.

Whack em and stack em!
Hope you stick a Purdy Buck!

Safe Journey!

NOOOO!  These guys are steering you wrong!  Forget to bring your camera and conspire to lose your skinning knife the very first morning.  It's the only way to guarantee getting a huge buck!  They can smell when you are ready for them!

This advice will only cost you one osage stave, please.

Good luck PD.  Make sure the tires and springs on that trailer are in good shape.  A years supply of green osage will flatten the tires on most trailers.  Hopefully the sap is down on the trees up there already and they'll be a little lighter for you.

George the tires and spring are new.........plus I have a big-bad Dodge Ram with an empty box to fill up with logs. I told my buddy our return trip will be a touch slower. We will be mindful and safe with a touch of greed!
