I fell asleep before the best part of the Bills/Ravens game and Vikings Bears. Dang! Exciting endings . NFL not quite as fun since Saints have imploded but maybe one day we will be back Best thing about the dove season opener here in La. It means: We survived summer { A really big deal } Get...

They are getting cranky

D A M N ! I'm not afraid of snakes at all but definitely do not want to step on a poisonous one. Serious pucker factor! Like others said I usually don't kill the timber rattlers unless they are in my yard { saw one yesterday } But all rules off if I step on one! Beautiful snake!

Couple that have been around the farm for a while

I used to see boxes in trees along the roadside in S.Tx and Mexico to trap killer bees. Haven't seen them lately. On another unrelated note when I was a teenager messing around S/Tx we would find cardboard insect boxes on the ground . They were dropped from planes and held sterile New World...

I liked the video. Always interesting to learn more.While fascinated with the way he correlated deer movement to thermals and bedding I question how applicable this is here in the Deep South. Flat as a pancake and topography doesn't create bedding areas. BUT, I have the same drone he has and...

I've bought lots of every kind of pear tree that grows in the south many advertised as blight free. None of them have been blight free. had a landscape architect over the other day and asked him if he was aware of any blight free pears...No. The occasional tree seems to avoid it but the same...

22 227 gross. An if only buck...if only the tine on th rt was on main beam would be one of the highest scoring typically ever. I called him " gorgeous"

Planting a vetch field and preparing a dove field along with a peak into early may stuff

I liked having the cows on the farm and they definitely made a positive impact. One thing I learned was it is hard to have pasture equally valuable for both cows and deer. I had been moving to dedicating fields specifically for cows and fields dedicated to deer. I am now converting them all back...
