Didn’t see anything on the first day but a pile of Canada Geese on Sunday. Better luck next weekend, I hope.

Can’t see why you don’t combine the two … this carrier looks pretty decent for bows and long guns, maybe you already have something.

Not necessarily hunting related, because I doubt these guys were doing any hunting, but from the Flipside entrance to the powerline quick exit someone left at least 2 dozen shell casings scattered all along the trail. Just a reminder to be careful…there’s rednecks in them there woods.

I picked up as many as I could.

So disrespectful, real hunters pick up their shells and casings if they can find them. This kind of shit gives hunters a bad name, even if these people weren’t hunting.

You’re a good man, Rolls. Guess I better add a kevlar vest to my riding gear!

3" 12 gauge with #2 shot? Not likely hunting anything other than stumps, trees, or cans. Thats for geese and ducks, nothing that you’d be hunting for around there.
