NoBodyImportant Posted August 20, 2022 Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 Went to get a oil change kit for my backhoe and decided to walk around ended up with a excavator. So I have been thinking about what to do with it so I have decided to build a 2-10 acre dove field and a small wildlife pond. It’s going to take two weeks for my logging thumb to come in so I opted to leave it there until they get it put on for me. I am really excited to start logging and digging. I have always liked digging with my backhoe but thought tracked vehicles were neat even though I never really drove one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted August 20, 2022 Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 Play time !! Look forward to a report on progress. Great sport shooting doves coing in to drink . I did a fair bit down in Texas on the tanks and cleaned and roasted they are very good finger food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I really like about the USA is that if you get off your **** and put some effort in, life can be great... plus little/no reward for the work-shy.

NoBodyImportant Posted September 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 After a month of waiting my bucket finally came in! So it begins. This small clearing will be a clearing by the creek about 200ft across, just large enough to set a deer feeder and hunting blind on. I have good traffic around the spring anyway so I think it will be a good spot to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoBodyImportant Posted September 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Started up the mountain, not horrible but I got about 1/2 mile of road to get better. Finished the small deer feeding spot. The corn spreader will set in the middle with the blind on the hill set deep into the trees to the left of the EX. The creek is off the hill to the right.

NoBodyImportant Posted October 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Got up to the mountains for the day and I’m about 100ft closer the top of the hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
