I don't hunt, but man I'd love to have a tree house that high (or higher). When I did tower work, I loved getting above 60' or so and just leaning back on the belt and scanning the view..
Found another doe skeleton yesterday, mostly bones, hooves and a little bit of hide. North of my place about 100 yards, probably what I smelled a couple of weeks ago when there was a slight breeze from the North. Probably EHD, a large dieoff in this area. Reading about EHD, just gotta love this quote (my underline) "<u>In all probability</u> the virus does not infect humans." Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, knowing that there are other hemorrhagic diseases that HAVE crossed over from animals (with DNA closer to ours, obviously). Also got to feel sorry for the deer, as it's a "bleed out" death, not good - a clean kill from hunters is a h#ll of a lot more humane..
