Looks good. One thing I have caught myself doing is being more alert to things out in the bush. Not just beds but everything. The Beast makes everyone more aware.

8-) How big are the tracks of the buck using it? What would you guess his age to be?

The tracks you see now, might not be the buck you see in October.

Hot and dry for at least a month, no tracks.
That creek is dry.....

But a 200+ record book buck was shot near there a few years ago.

If I remember right 220 something.

Is that something you do a lot of Zap is spot checking beds? I would think that you want to leave the beds undisturbed until the 1st hunt? :think:
