    The hottest day in America...

    And somehow I got the brilliant idea it would be a good day to put up a new shooting tower....
    It was hotter than the hinges on the gates of Hell. I don't know how folks can deer hunt in this.
    I'll just have to wait a few more weeks

    And you have on long pants and a long sleeved shirt. Geez Majeebers.

    P.S.
    The ladder is not on right.

    The lowest pond. Damn near in it. Hammerhead has wanted a stand there every since I planted them 1200 hardwood trees in that new Wildlife area. It's a real thicket and the deer are hanging in there well.

    That's the "bass pond"....right? That's where I was thinking it was, from looking at the vegetation in the background.

    That's the lower pond where we caught all those nice bass on top water when you were here. It is actually our crappie pond. But that day it was a bass pond.

    No this is another pond in the middle of the property I did not take you too. I had not stocked it at the time you were here. Stocked it about 3 years ago with crappie and bass. Crownine and I caught some mighty health bass when he was here last year on too water.

    Ok, I'm with Co9 ... from what I can see ... that's a dang nice job ... almost looks "manufactured" ... too perfect. Maybe it's just a long shot and I'm not seeing what I think I'm seeing. From "here" ... that looks like a super cool (and artistic) camo job. Almost looks like a "wrap".

    Why thank you all. I never tried to make it look good or nuthin' I was just breaking it up a little. Most of the ones I've got I just painted them green. Just started putting trees and crap on them a few years ago....
