Swamp logging!

Went for a quick ride back to the bush with the 4 wheeler. Doesn't look like I'm going to be doing much hauling for awhile. Inside the bush is almost as bad, one of the landing areas is 6" deep in water. I can't believe how bad it looks inside the bush right now. This is the reason no one has logged this bush regularly before. This is the only way out of this section of the bush and it's the biggest section. I've already got the northern, dryer part of the bush done as much as I want to right now. There is an access trail there but only useable when the crops are off and it's also pretty wet at the best of times. It's a good thing I worked my azz off when I could get back there. I have 2 years worth of logs already at home but like everyone else I always want more. The 1st picture is of one of my landings, it's straight and in the center of the pic, water is 12" deep in spots. And a pic of the pond I dug out.

How deep is that pond you're standing on the edge of...any decent fish in there?

Our winters are very polarized these days. In the last ten years we've had the 2nd and 4th longest winters judged by ice out on major lakes as well as the first and second earliest ice outs. Also had the warmest and coldest months on record. But yes we don't get the extended cold like we used to. Now if we hit -35 the world ends. When I was a kid we didn't get school cancelled until it was expected to be over -45.

Only had school cancelled because of cold once. It was between 40 and 50 below and they couldn't get half the school buses started.

Reggie, I just dug that pond this summer when it was dry. My son and grandson are beside it, it's about 40' across and dug in 3 stages so that hopefully there will always be at least some water in it. It is fed by field tile so doubt there will be any fish in it. I plan to get something to put in it though just to see if they live. I don't own the property but years ago my family did. My Dad dug the original pond maybe 40 or more years ago. Was dry as a bone this summer so I spent a weekend in there with my Kubota. I plan to have my deer stand near it, lots of deer and turkey have been visiting it already. And the racoons already have tons of paths to it. Going to transplant some crayfish and frogs from a local creek this spring for food.

Do you reckon they'll do as they're told?

I can see it now, Big Buck, Stand here while I shoot you

 

[MustangMike]

No, mine did not do that, he kept coming closer!!!!

We train our deer right up here and I have a few years to train them before my Grandson will be ready to hold a gun. Pond is just behind the stand in the bush.

Well then, Imgur seems to work but it's a bit cumbersome to use and no auto back up .
I'll be working on the Google products to see if I can find one that everyone can see the pics because it's easy for auto backup.
Let me know what you guys have been using, I mainly use my Android phone for all the pics so backing up to a cloud is easy .

I had pretty good luck with one drive when I had Microsoft office if you need the office software you can pay $10 a month and get the suite and 1 terabyte of storage included. They have android apps that can be set to auto back up as soon as you get on your wifi network. Worked great. I'm now on an iPhone so it's just easier to use iCloud and it's $1 a month for 50 gigs which is plenty for me.

Yes, and those are some of the leaniest leaning leaners I've never sawn.

Dancan:
I cannot see your pic. All I see is { x }.
Lots of Pics are starting to look that way.
Might be something the company computer guru has installed on this end.
