That's awesome, nice work all around-

I hope you have some cages for them since they look like prime rub trees! That's a good deal and it will get you the visual screen you want much faster than smaller seedlings or younger potted trees.

You are doing the right thing by pressing charges. Have you caught these guys on your place before? Man, neighbors sure can suck. It is pretty disappointing that a guy that age doesn't know right from wrong.

That guy needs to dust his ceiling fan! What's the whole story with that? It takes a special kind of stupid to steal a cell camera that takes pictures every 30 seconds. I'm sure the local police were pretty appreciative of the evidence you provided to them.

I have a similar cabin/garage. Mine is 30x40 with a 10' overhang on the 40' side. That overhang is really nice and I would definitely recommend it. I went with a propane tank (500 gallon), forced air furnace and eventually added central AC when we started going to the cabin for summer fishing...

I had some beavers move in and they built me some really nice duck habitat. I left them alone for a while since I appreciated their work, but then their dam kept getting higher and the high water caused some issues. I didn't have any luck trapping them, but they are pretty easy to shoot with...

The puffball I tried tasted like an old stinky shoe.

I have a MS 362C and I'm really impressed with what it can do. I don't know the bar length, but I know it is probably a little undersized/underpowered to deal with 20"+ hardwoods. I typically have to clean up a large, downed oak every year or two and that's the only time I wished I had a...

A renter's son also picked my 2 acre food plot one year that should have been left for the deer. Leaving that plot was included in the contract, so he sent me a check for $500 for the error. Those things really irritate me though - I wanted the deer food more than the check. What CRP program...

How do you know if they are fresh or too mature to eat? I only had puffball once and it wasn't something I would try again.

In your location, I'd guess that is a 3.5 year old buck based on the large body size and neck rolls. He will be a real tank a month from now when he is in rut shape. I think that would be a good deer to shoot if given the chance.

The tail fan looks like a red phase grouse.

I plant them when I have time and there is rain in the forecast. I planted a dozen in early September because it was in a hunting location that I didn't want to mess up once bow season opened. These trees were green and growing and they are doing great. Planting after they are dormant is...

That's a nice moose, congrats. That's great you were able to get him out of the woods whole rather than chop him up out in the woods. Do you now divide the meat up with your hunting party or how does that work?

Nice work on the moose, that's awesome. How much of a chore was it to get that out of the woods? Having a freezer full of moose is hard to beat. My dad and I killed one together in Minnesota about 20 years ago. Moose hunting is pretty fun until one hits the ground and the work starts.
