The home range is coming along

[Lodge]

I've had a bench shooting setup for a few years. Decided this fall to start clearing out dead ash trees and brush to make a defensive distance shooting area. I've been slacking now that it's getting colder but once spring comes around I'm back to work getting this more civilized.

I’m so jealous I can’t handle it! How lucky you are to have this range in your own backyard. All I can say is: You work hard in life-you deserve it! Congratulations!

You really need to build me that bench…. Lol looks great.

Hope you have an in for treated lumber, that looks pricey, but very nice. We were fortunate enough to have a natural sloping area we dug up and built a 10 Foot horse shoe berm.

I am thankful to have the health and opportunity to make it happen

Thank you. That was my first step in all of this. It's rock solid and H E A V Y

It is a bit pricey at times but even if I'm not shooting I'm down there every day (when it's 40 or above).
It'll be a great place to get out of the house and hang out. LOL it is already! And the wildlife... Deer, coyote, hawks, eagles, owls, my gal pal saw a bobcat cross the road a couple weeks ago. Incredibly cool place to be

Planning on building a boardwalk from the yard proper across the marshy area into the shooting area so I can get materials and a mower down there. After the boardwalk... a 10 x 12 shelter. We'll see

Wow! I didn't think there are any wild bobcats left in Indiana

I think they've been increasing rather than decreasing.

I surely appreciate the offer! We may need to talk more about that. Thanks so much!

I believe that's right. One of my neighbors got one on a trail cam last summer

Now there is a rare niche

Very nice! I've always wanted a place where I can build a range but alas - that opportunity has not yet arisen.

Thank you. I miraculously (in retrospect) fell into this property 40 years ago as a rental. Had the opportunity to purchase it many years later and have been slowly developing it's potential (according to me) ever since. Hopefully your opportunity will avail itself soon!

even rarer are the ones that fight my drunk monkey. i have to get everybody drunk for that
