Some of the rock was quarried on the place. I wanted to incorporate as much of the land's history in our place as I could. 1880-1890's Russians annd Germans did the stone work. Amazing what they did with hand tools and horses. To cut the stones they hand hammer drilled holes and let freeze...

The snakes give some people the creeps Foggy, but unless you're a small fish they're harmless. Build this the other day. Told the wife it was for her, but really I just needed a place to wash the mud off before coming in. Someday I'll finish this place!

And I loaned my caller to some high school kids who spent the weekend hammering yotes! Sounds like they had a blast.

Got him back and we spent the weekend on a fishing spree. My favorite bait was plentiful (had to fight the snakes for them... could barely get a fish out of the water before multiple serpents were on it.), bass were biting, and cats were eager.

The youngest spent the last couple of weeks in France for a tournament. Somehow he always ends up with the flag. The boat ride was the same one they did in the opening ceremony of the Olympics. Pretty cool trip for him!

Been a while since updating... My milo plot is doing well. Deer have shifted from staying in the rye/clovers/alfalfa plot, and started hitting the milo plot.

I guess I'm surprised that the roots have grown all that much. I figured since they've only been in the ground for 3ish months that digging them up wouldn't do much damage. Thanks for the advice guys!

I have 2 pears that were planted (bare root) this spring. I'd like to move those 2 trees. Should I do it now, or wait until dormant? I figure if I do it now that they won't have grown a lot of new roots. If I wait until fall I'll likely have to dig a bigger hole and damage more roots...

Cool! I never listen to podcasts but will try to make this one happen.

Get well and I wish you a speedy recovery! Scary stuff!

I love this thread! Figured all of you guys had a special place... it's cool getting to see or hear about them!

I give kids old hunting and fishing magazines. Put up any newspaper articles that has a school related article such as sports, music, or FFA (kids love to read their name in print). Books full of short stories (Night Shift, Voices from Chernobyl, Phineas Gage, etc), and interestingly enough...

I shouldn't say I don't enjoy it, I enjoy all shooting. But when people get together and start and challenging each other, it's always freehand.

Do you have a happy place? It doesn't seem to matter my mood, the temp, the time, or anything... I can find myself in one of these 2 places and I'm relaxed. One is in a lawn chair under the leantoo... looking through a flowerbed at a food plot/orchard. The other is on our dock. Can almost...

Used to like IDPA and 3 Gun shoots. Never enjoyed shooting off a bench.

Nice!!!

Keep the pics coming, I love projects likes this! Aluminum?

Lol, I spend a week grilling and having a few barley pops every night; chicken thighs, shrimp covered in butter, brats, and a steak or 2. Just once I microwave a bag of frozen veggies and I'm living on rabbit food! Wish doc saw it that way!

Been there twice in the last 2yrs. The wife took her mom there today, along with a ferry ride to the statue. Something about that spot in the world that makes you appreciate how good we have it here.
