Saw the picture of the alleged shooter… Kinda looks like that kid who claims to have survived the Parkland school shooting… David Hogg

Well strange things happen, I’m glad the outcome was favorable for you. It looks like a good hit in the photo but may have been a bit low for the lungs. Description of shot and the timeline for the follow ups says liver but lack of blood on the shaft is a puzzler. I hope the pup got an extra...

I was having a bad year(misses,wounded,etc.) broke down and got a cheap package unit from an outdoor box store. Took it home shot it twice at 30 yds. Junk scope was really close to dead nuts. My 3rd shot a hour later was from the box blind into a mature doe. I don’t think I’ve picked it up...

Mainly a liver hit or did you clip a lung also?

Silver/Cross fox?

Start shooting them and they will find somewhere else to go

It will probably just get a rye clover mix. It’s in a semi shaded area so I just want to get something growing around it

Only having it a month I’d wait for at least another year before making any major changes. You’re liable to do more harm than good.

Well we picked up 1.11” of rain a couple of days ago and it almost filled up. Next step is some seed ahead of the next forecasted rain

There was a mud hole/ 4wheeler rut that rarely ever dries out in front of the wife’s hunting shack that she kept saying needed dug out into a small pond/water hole. So today in the 90* temps I took the tractor to the woods where it was a few degrees cooler and dug it out for her. Not the...

I love the couple that I got on clearance at the local feed store. No one would buy them. So I grabbed them for some deer food trees. The best part is some dummy put the wrong label on them. We think they are actually macintosh’s but whatever they are they sure as heck are not RDs so it’s a...

My wife has always wanted common milkweed for the monarchs, so a couple of years ago I stopped on a roadside patch grabbed a couple of pods. She got the seeds and I kept the fluff for archery season. A month ago we were doing something outside and she said look there’s a monarch, so we watched...

It’s always nice to see the old savages. They’re such a classic looking rifle. This is my 1949 300 with a mid 50s scope set up.

The view from my living room window at just a small part of the yard.

I also have everything on that list plus Gooseneck loosestrife Crocosmias common milkweed Iron weed cardinal flower both red and blue Hyssop asters plus a ton of annuals that the wife collects seeds from every year for the purpose of reseeding them the next spring. I’m sure I forgot some also...

I’d say it has something to do with the walnut trees. Probably took the 2 years for the roots to grow enough to start interacting with the walnut tree roots. At my old place anything that didn’t like jugalone would act like that( grow great for a bit and then start dying off).

How far from the walnuts are they?

If you’re going to cut any start cutting now. The longer it stands the more dangerous it becomes. After a couple of years almost any wind will start bringing it down and they usually break about 1/2 way up or at least mine have

What a difference 2 weeks make.

This weather hasn’t been the greatest for the bees or for me getting any of my more important projects done. Got rained out again over the weekend so I grabbed some lumber and threw together a half dozen medium boxes to replace some old boxes and for the upcoming goldenrod flow. With 10 hives...
