New hunting club Ellerbee N.C.

I have joined a hunting club this year for the 2010 hunting season. I have not been a member of a club for many years. I used to have plenty of places to hunt that where safe and I could take my kids or relatives with me knowing that they would be safe too. After last year with all kinds of nonsense taking place on some land I was hunting, like a fool walking around in gun season with no orange on, who said he was stalking a buck he had seen a few weeks before. Never mind that the land he was on was posted and he had no right to be there. Then I found out after the leaves dropped that a neighbor had put up stands as close to my feeders as he could to take advantage of my bait. Also I noticed that as soon as squirrel season starts around here you start to hear lots of shooting going on, and I know for a fact that don't many folks hunt squirrels any more. Gun season for deer starts when people start seeing deer during the pre-rut. They know nobody cares and who is going to call the wardens who don't seem to care either. Any way I have decided to join a club down in Richmond county near Ellerbee NC to get away from Rowan and Cabarrus for at least this season. I have my nephew Kerston 12 who is going to be hunting his first bow season this year. It is great to get to see a young man get his first deer and I hope I am going to be there with him when he gets his. here are a few shots from the game camera.

First buck under my stand

This is the first buck I have seen under my stand with the game cam. I have seen at least one more when I was hunting last week. So the bucks are finally moving around some. I am going to move the camera to a new location to scout some. I shot a young doe right here just a few days before this shot was taken. I have still got plenty of does coming to this spot to get corn, so now I am going to try to set up on some trails with my little blind to see if I can catch them off guard.

last shots of July 09

Got the card from the camera today, looks like a few deer are still hitting the corn everyday. The game feeder is working great I can't say enough about the Moutrie Game Feeder. I have had it up for two months feeding twice a day and the battery is still at almost 100% charged. I had deer feeding at it within a week of putting it out. I also use a Moutrie Game Cam to get the photos, and again I just can't say enough good things about it. I love to be able and see just about every thing that comes by my tree-stand. I can not wait for the Bow-season to start. Thanks for stopping by!

Late July 2009

Finally I went and got the card from my remote game camera. Wow, I got some great shots of some deer checking out the corn pile. Bow season is just a month a a half away and I got deer all around my stand. Haven't seen any bucks yet, but they will show up soon enough! Hope to post again next week, thanks for looking!

no post for a few weeks

sorry about no post for the last few weeks, I had my camera loaned out. I put it back out at my tri-pod set up in the woods on the "Gold-Hill Ridge" just today. I hope to have some new shoots of deer eating my corn soon!

July 1 2009

My son, Chris, went out to get the memory card from the game cam today. We got a lot of shots of squirrels eating our corn. We also got some more great shots of does and fawns checking out the corn feeder. Thanks for looking at my site, leave a comment if you see something that you like.
