I remember well my first experience feeding deer in hopes of attracting them to my hunting blind which, back in the 60s was a couple of two by fours nailed to the fork in a tree branch of an old oak.

It seems I am either making ready for my next outdoor adventure or unpacking and stowing my gear from the last outing. I imagine this is par for most folks that enjoy fishing, hunting, photographing wildlife or just about any outdoor endeavor.
Getting ready for an outdoor adventure is almost as much fun as the outing itself.
