Where have all the deer gone!

Looks like a good day for a trip to Critter Cabin. Overcast sky and time to get some more wood, finish the wall around the window and see what was on the game camera. We were driving in and next to the cabin were these turekys! I just bet that got there fill of chips just before we arrived here. I could hear them say Gobble ~ Gobble which means in turkey talk: Thank you! They just wandered on there way like they had some place else they had to head too.



We worked on the walls around the window for several hours, had a nice lunch and decided to cut some wood for home. There is lots of little logs that was left here from the previous owners, most of it is still good enough for firewood ~ atleast for us that is! So we cut away and load up a pickup full and also the little trailer.


Maybe we could make a fort out of these instead! They seem like the right size of logs? What do you think?


Lunch time we get out the game camera and see what is on it. To our dissapointment there are not many pictures on it. Rats! I just knew that I would get a large buck or maybe a bear ~ what did we get ~~~~ a raven!


We had a great time, as always and can''t wait to get back to Critter Cabin again! Till then, keep the smile on and be safe !

Back to Critter Cabin we Go!


We decided last minute to head over to Critter Cabin to see if the deer and the turkeys have been around. Well I guess so, all the corn and the chips that we put out are gone! And the turkeys have been roosting on the porch! Great, Turkey poop! Looks like they need some more food! I think that we will move the food from the cabin some though. Cut a load of wood to take back home, we have lots of wood piled all over the place. Pretty easy to get right now. We have several standing trees that Pat is going to cut down here soon though. Some big pines and a few Doug Fir, these are to close to the cabin for us. Sun is much needed here as we have solar power panels.





Friday evening and Saturday morning we got the last of the two windows in. It will help out for light in the front of the cabin. Of course it will be great to see all the animals that come in to check us out! Just have to finish up the outside trim and we are set!


 Well for the water~~~ we seem to have all broken pipes under the cabin! Great, now what. Fix them dear Pat, fix them! We went to Home Depot and got some pex pipe and all the fittings and will get on the job ASAP. It sure will be nice to sit on the toilet in the cabin and have running water at the sink!

We are going back sometime this week to check on the game cameras and get some more wood to bring home. I will post some nice photos of great big bucks or big giant bulls on my next blog. Well if they run in front of the camera that is!

Till then, put a smile on and enjoy the day!
