    First Bluebirds of the Year

    I started my habit journey on a double lot in town. At the time I couldn’t live in the country so I brought the country to town through small ponds, pollinator gardens along with bird bat boxes. When we moved to our current home in the woods I just carpet bombed my yard with boxes and as I...

    First Bluebirds of the Year

    I have the dozen or so boxes here at the house cleaned out and ready to go. We've had a couple of males singing for the last week. Typically we don’t have a singers around here until the 2/3 week of March. This weekend I plan on running my road line which has another 2 dozen boxes for clean out...

    Tool'n Knife Builds

    I’ve just used a piece of antler. The smell was bad enough with just doing that. I would say cutting scales would be worse. This was my old filet knife I use for butchering

    First Task In Spring?

    Managed to get a bunch little projects hammered out on this very mild 1st weekend in February. Walked the 4wheeler path around the property cleaning up branches and trees that came down in the last month or so. Cleaned out all the bluebird boxes(12+) here at home but still need to do the 2...

    Honey Bees

    Was a nice day here in the upper 40s. The girls were flying and it looks like 5 of 7 have made it so far. It was nice to see the survival rate so far but kinda disappointing seeing them break cluster this time of the year when the next 45-60 days are the hardest part of the winter. Hopefully...

    How Many Years Since Killing Your Last Deer?

    Well now that my season is over I can say it’s been 13 months since my last kill. Anymore for me it’s more about methods than filling tags. I use a stickbow and a flintlock as my main weapons. I only took 1 shot this entire season and that was a doe I missed last week with the smoke pole. I will...

    Deer as a red meat

    Here’s how I look at it. Both my grandmothers ate bacon,eggs and all kinds of beef. 1 died at 100 and the other was 97. I don’t think venison is going to hurt you. Now for today’s beef, bacon and such I’d be more worried about what they feed the critters as far as hormones and antibiotics

    Live from the stand thread

    The view out my north window. It's 22° with a blustery 15-25 wind with numerous 35 + gusts.The wife thinks I'm crazy but it's my last sit of the 2023 season. I've seen 4 so far 3 doe and a spike. Not even sure if I'll shoot one if they come close enough might just be satisfied eating 3 tag soup.

    Broadheads

    I like COC heads, started with Bear razorheads, then switched to Wasp cam locks or Thunder heads a co worker gave me a pack of G5s and I liked them. When Iwent back to hunting with a stick bow I went back to the razorheads or a grizzly SB. When I use a crossbow I use either a Rage or Swacker...
