Ate a bone and it got logged in her intestines. Her normal vet was out of town so had to take to a new place on a Saturday. Not sure if they let her sit till Monday before they tried anything. Think her normal vet would of done anything possible to save her. Pissed.

Not why I want to be updating. Lost my best friend and first hunting dog Piper To young.

Yeah slightly, Had a good rain window. Ended up with 3 in. And was scheduled to be hiking for the next 2 weeks so it was a now or never type thing in the moment. Had been 80s everyday, but the Temps plummeted so I'm guessing that's what caused my germination issues.

Wondering what you would due in this situation. Tilled my rye and clover under this spring. Planted sorghum. Went to spray it today and it looks like a bust. Not sure if the seed was bad or what. The clovers is kinda coming back but the plot is full of thistle. Was thinking maybe spray it...

Dad's back from Arizona. Done being a snowbird for the time being...Talked him into setting a trap line to reduce nest predators, and helping plant trees tomorrow. Got 24 sets out, and 10 trees going in. Few bush lattes and some elk backstrap. Gunna be a good evening.

Have not tried any hiker forums yet. Figured I'd trust a habitat guy before a complete stranger. Ha. Will look into it.

Hey habitat junkies. Hope all is well. Got a bit of a off topic inquiry. I am planning the next leg of my AT hike. Planning on driving down to Robbinsville, North Carolia and parking the car. And am looking for a lift to Hiawasse Georgia. To get back to where we left off. Then we would make...

Great day to kick off the season. Hope everyone finds what their chasing.

Hope everyone is doing well. Got a food plot I'd like a bit of advice on. Last year had a fall mix of rye, red clover and brassica. Did well. This spring we were blessed with some great rains. And the red clover came in thick. Late may I mowed the rye/clover in the boot stage to terminate...

I measured him 2x. Not the best at that whole process tho. He ended up at 284.

Pulling weeds and planting trees. Life is good. Missed yall lately. Ended last year on a high note. On to 24 and the second kiddo is on the way and time seems to be evaporating even faster. After the draws, got a few tags in my pocket and looking forward to another trip around the sun.

Tried a bunch without much luck. They are in the white willow family. So a few soil considerations. Mine mostly fail due to rabbit and deer browse. They regrow from the base every year. But they don't stand a chance trying to get eastablised in an sort of existing cover.

I dont hang/age. More often than not I'm deboning in field if possible. Sometimes if I feel itneeds it I will leave it in a cooler and ice age it for a few days. Otherwise I try and process the next day. (Edit: 1000th post I guess. Took awhile. But here we are, about 7 years later, wtf does...

Have a pnuma. At first thought it was great. But don't think so much anymore. Maybe get 1-2 hrs of slightly noticeable heat. Have 2 batteries so I can swap. Guess it does take the edge of. Not sure if I'm just expecting to much. But feel it could do better. Find where is shines for me...

Added to the family in early Oct. Winnie is picking things up fast. But Piper, the elder. Has been hunting like her life depends on it. Not sure if the addition lit a fire under her or what.
