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?

Mine are currently buried in a foot and half of snow. Went into winter with 9 hives. I know I’ve lost a couple so far but they were late swarms that never really expanded.

I have and maintain 30+ bird boxes. Ranging from small chickadee/wren houses up to wood duck and owl boxes. Most are bluebird boxes. Aesthetically I like Peterson style boxes but have made them in all shapes and forms. As far as mounting I don’t have a preference Tposts , telephone poles ...

1st pic is definitely garlic mustard and my app says the 2nd is swamp dewberry. It’s definitely not jack in the pulpit

Last hunt of season for me today. I decided to fill the last tag I had with my flintlock.

Bet he looked happier after that picture.

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.

Closing out rifle season in a snowstorm here in PA. It will soon be time to get the flintlock out.

SD, Looks like you had perfect day for woods work. How’s that firewood stacking technique working for you? Looks great

Doing my part for herd management here in my little slice of PA. Saw 33 today and decided to fill my last doe tag in the last 15 minutes of the day.

I rigged this up for this season in my box blind. An office chair took up to much space, the kids got me a blind chair but it sat to high. I was using a wooden folding chair but after a couple of hours I was hurting. Had this old hammock chair laying around so I gave it a go. Works great. I’ll...

Back in the box after walking to the house for a couple of bowls of venison stew. I think I'll leave the heater off. Full belly, heat and this hammock chair may have me taking a nap all afternoon. Saw 4 bucks (2 legal) 3 doe and a red fox this morning.
