I've been cutting down trees with chainsaw and using them like a border for trails. I don't know exactly how many I've cut down in the last couple weeks, but I've made a lot of progress in the thick heavy stuff with trails and getting a bunch of trees set up with screw in steps as platform and paracord in them for pulling the rope into the trees when it comes time to hunt. I added a bunch more berry bushes to a new clearing and then did my usual throw n grow stuff. Also been using the hand saw to clean out shooting lanes and paths to and from the stands spots so I can come and go undetected more easily.
Then in my backyard practice site, I've cleared stuff out where I can practice at the 3d deer target from both directions at up to about 90 yards. The shots are through the woods, brush, branches, etc so they're not easy, but simulate hunting conditions at all distances. This is a lot of fun and a lot of work.
All the climbing, cutting, chopping, dragging, arranging, climbing, shooting, (repeat ) is really improving my instinctive shooting. And killing my back!
I don't take aspirin or pills, but I'm Considering it at the moment. One thing's for certain: I ain't 21 anymore.
