signs and new trap

ramsons are around.saw evidence of a bager fight this morning.Ive started alking around more rather than staying in my camp area,ive done most things to prepare it,but i want to visit old places,see spring coming in,the deer are moving around more,in relationship to the lunar cycle and the vernal equinox,see scat today in the pine woods..spent a bit of time at the camp made asquirrel trap out of the chicken wire thats lying around,just have to bait it probarly with bird nuts.
