Nice tractor Ed. (Insert Tim the tool man Taylor grunts)

I was trying to get fire wood with mine the other day. 2-3’ of snow was one thing but when I found the muck underneath it.. wasn’t good. Lots of chainsawing and the bucket saved my hide.

The bucket and backhoe would be a nice combo if getting stuck.

Awesome and exciting for you Im sure! Congrats! My main advice would be to take your time about improvments... Its easy to change things, hard to put it back... I look at a lot of propertys that put in wayer holes orfood plots on bad locations and its really hard to fix that... Often they are "Just off" and in a position that has a major advatage to the deer (like dropping thermals) or its just to far for mature deer to get to in daylight on nost days... Hunting it for a season before major imporvments is not a bad idea

I second that. We made some mistakes on some food plots in the wrong spots. Did all of that About 7-8 years ago before I really learned about thermals and wind and bedding. We didn’t make any big mistakes on plots that cost us valuable land, but we did waste a lot of time working on those plots! Not even using those plots now (just don’t have time to manage them either), but there is still some clover, etc mixed in there with the weeds that the deer will eat. So all wasn’t lost. Learned a lot about “what not to do”!

I would love to hunt NH especially with you. Those grouse camps, bear hunts, deer hunts all look fun.
