Fun on the ATV

Hi,

We were at our property for a few days this past week.  Mainly we were there to cut trails for our ATV.  Several months back, in full summer mode, we cut some paths in the woods. Starting with the easy routes first.  Over the summer, for the first time ever, many weeds sprung up in the woods.  This was due to much more sunshine reaching the ground after we had timbering done. We really did not want to wade in waist high thick weeds to cut trails.  You know, snakes, poison ivy and other bad things lurks in that kind of stuff.  Now that the growth has died back we got in there and cut some more trails. It was a lot of work, cutting downed trees that were in our way, moving limbs, and clipping the small trees, but it's done and we have our first nice trail to ride on.

Of course, after cutting trails, we spent a few hours hunting deer.  In this particular county it is still bucks only.  I saw 6 does.  My husband saw 5 does.  They were fun to watch as they meandered around looking for acorns.  They were in no hurry.  I had many minutes to watch them as they came into sight then walk out of sight.  No bucks!  Well, with all the work we wanted to get done on the ATV trails I guess that not shooting a deer is okay.

My husband (tongue in cheek) has called me "Lead foot on the ATV".  As you will see in the attached video, I actually run through the woods pretty slow.  Someday I may get used to the ATV and really rip up the trails. Until then I am happy putting around at my own slow speed.  At the beginning of the video Bruce had to locate me, then he followed my ride on the ATV.

Enjoy the video.

Take care, good hunting and good shooting
