1st Hunting Story for 2011

This may have happened to you but I hope not.  Even though I have deer on my property including the nice 10 that is my display image;  I do very little hunting on my property, protecting the herd I guess you could say.  I primarily hunt the state land across the road from our farm.  I have hunted the same area using the "same" tree for my ladder stand since 2000 ( almost-11 years ) I have seen deer and harvested a deer from the same tree for these past 10 years.  I put up my ladder stand the last week of September each year,  this year when I get to "my" tree which is way off the beaten path and deep in the forest - guess what I find, some Axx Hole has a game camera chained to a tree not 10 yards from the tree my stand goes against along with about 20# of corn and a mineral lick on the ground.  This person must have noticed me using this tree over the years and decided "HEY" that must be a "GOOD" spot.  Odd as it seems there are very very few hunters pass through the area where I hunt.  OH well I wish him well, I am now about a quarter mile North of my old area, actually in a area I had given some serious thought to trying out, it is even deeper in the woods and nearer the thicket the deer bed in.  So wish me luck this year.
