Got the wood duck boxes cleaned out, new wood chips and rehung for the upcoming nesting season. Cut down a couple of bigger maples and a crooked red oak that were shading part of the greenhouse, garden and a couple apple trees until the grandsons came over. Not sure what wears me out faster...

I believe I’m at 100% loss for winter. Last couple of days have been in the upper 40s - low 50s and I haven’t seen any activity in the bee yard.

Took advantage of the mid-upper 40’s today. Got all the fruit trees pruned, hung a few new nesting boxes and played on the tractor some moving piles of snow back away from the driveway. Tomorrow I have plans of clearing out some shooting lanes and dropping a few garbage trees around my ladder stand.

A catch basin designed to protect the wing walls from washing out??? Although I would think just flaring the wing walls out to the sides would have worked. How long has it been there in that configuration?

I don’t even try to keep them from freezing here. There’s plenty of spring seeps for the deer to get what they need during winter. I do put a dark log either in or half in the water that way with any bit of sun especially in late winter it helps speed up the melting process or at least creates...

Well I can’t top H2O although my middle son who just got married said that they’re trying to make one LoL. I got a couple of gift cards, a light weight outdoor themed jacket, new hunting vest and a 2026 fishing license. More importantly I got to spend the day with 2 of my 3 boys and their...

To all of you and yours from me and mine Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Buck, here in PA we’re not allowed any holes over I believe 8”. They claimed for safety reasons. Do you mark the spots when you leave so the next person coming by doesn’t step in a cutout with skim ice on it? From the videos I’ve watched it is quite a fascinating technique

Foggy, Sending prayers from my end of the world. May the good lord keep you strong in your time of need.
