    Migrant Fruit Pickers

    I had some bear chili last night. That was the last of that bear. Delicious meat, if I didn't know better I would have thought it was high quality beef.

    When to say when

    Had to do it 2 years ago. My dog had dementia. Absolutely nothing left of him mentally. Worst thing was he was 16 and healthy as a horse. Just walked in circles, ran into walls, and would pee or poop every hour of the day. Was tough but like said above, after it was over we knew we did the...

    Persimmion age

    I'm in PA too. Wet years like this I get that. Mine lost almost all flowers already and they didn't even open. I believe it's a fungus.

    Bluehill 2025

    I ran over to his place this weekend and grabbed 5 sweet advent pear trees. I got one in the ground and the rest are in pots. I'll get spots ready for them this summer and get them in the ground in the fall.

    Just like those Hunting Public guys...

    I like to use it. You can see it blow away from you then back by you and see what the thermals are doing.

    Later to Leaf out / later to bloom Apples.

    All of my named trees have leafed and bloomed but 4 wild trees are just starting to bloom. I keep notes and this is their typical bloom time each year. These 4 start dropping in October and are finished by the 4th week of October. Roughly golf ball sized apples.

    Scion length

    When I first learned to graft apples I went to a class where I had an instructor who worked with the state tell us that you only need 1 bud, but it's nice to have 2 just for insurance.

    Conspiracy theorys, where do you stand?

    I quoted someone saying their local school had them and I asked for the name of the school. You quoted me and gave me a school name. I didn't go back to see that you weren't the person I was asking, but by answering me specifically when I was asking for a school that had litter boxes, you see...

    Conspiracy theorys, where do you stand?

    Took a few days, but I got a reply from the principal. Like I already knew, no litter boxes in the bathrooms.

    Conspiracy theorys, where do you stand?

    It was April 1st yesterday, so I guess you got me. Couldn't find anything on google even though you say it was on FOX.

    Conspiracy theorys, where do you stand?

    What school? I want to contact to them to verify? I've heard this same story before and when contact is made, there is no proof. I'm also a teacher. Next year is 20 years as a high school math teacher.

    Anyone have recommendations for a heated vest, jacket, or sweatshirt?

    I have a Gerbing heated jacket. On high it lasts a couple hours and is just enough to keep me on stand but not hot. It's only 6 or 7 watts though, so nothing powerful. I only use it in archery. I've considered buying more batteries so I can use it longer, but most of my evening hunts are only 2...

    My Scent Control Thread Ozone, Carbon, Smoker, or ???

    I put a little on a cotton ball and put 2 or 3 dabs on the tree above my head then drop the cotton ball on the ground. I rarely even smell it. It was a big discussion on a PA site I'm on.

    My Scent Control Thread Ozone, Carbon, Smoker, or ???

    First year I used turpentine as a cover scent. Very few to almost no deer hated it. Many hung up a little and tested the wind awhile, but most then just did their thing. I won't be out archery hunting without it. I hunt almost exclusively heavily pressured public land.
