Went to my 110 acre hard woods lease for the first time this year. Managed to convince a friend to let myself and one other in after the last group got out. I have hunted this property maybe 7 times over 5 years.  I went to set up my cameras and found that last years and this years rainfall was very nice to the brush turning it into a jungle again. Luckly the stand I put up was still there.  Unfortunately the railroad tie bridge that has bee there 20 years floated 400 yards downstream in a creek !  I made an attempt to cross a beaver dam and got stuck in river mud. There is no clay or rock base so I began sinking very rapidly. Lucky for me I had two people to help get me out. Im thinking next time I will bring a ladder to cross the 15-20 ftspan.   If no one had been with me  I might have been crawling in the mud for a while.

Looks like it's worth the trek.  

Good luck!

Damn! I see how that could get you in trouble alone.

Up here in MI it's snow that deep we have to deal with.

Yea no real serious problem. just sucks to have to lay flat in sewer smelling mud waist deep. Ill post some more pics next week when I go in for rabbit season

Very cool..

I like that bridge, looks sturdy, lol.

Crossing it with the sxs huh.

I like the cam pics. Seeing a fat cow of a doe gets me just as excited as seeing a big buck. Good eating...
