@buckdeer1 It was trying to be a yote set, but since I've not (yet) caught a yote, it might be generous to call it that. I've got a few sets out. This one wasn't according to any specific set I've seen. I used the tractor to remove a packrat nest, and dumped it at the edge of the trail...

Here’s a few videos. It was the biggest adrenaline rush I’ve had in a while! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JLG0IJ8SArDRZ1iXCR3GtkEnp4Yq0BYW/view?usp=drive_link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QcqVdmKt9vO4Xbzg_CUVN8LrSfewRCXG/view?usp=drive_link...

Still haven't found any sheds. But yesterday evening a buck with both antlers made an appearance. That's a trapped bobcat they're looking at. I guess the deer came to investigate the cat? It was my first cat. We went down this morning and released it.

Here's the result of carlessly throwing black sunflower bird seed. I might have mowed. Or might not, I don't remember. But no herbicide. Sunflowers are the state flower. They grow very easily here.

It varies. I only buy bags that are at least partly clear so I can see what's in it. I try to recognize what's in the highest volume, and ignore minority content. Here's a photo list shamelessly swiped via google:

I get seed blends of grains for 45 cents / pound.

Apparently its fake. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-pelosi-letter/

I've heard of this, but never tried it myself. Something about they can't or won't jump a wide barrier, and don't want trapped between the barriers.

You didn't mention where you are (what region, for plant options). Or how patient you are on this goal... I'd think if you planted eastern red cedar every 3 or 4 feet, then in a decade or two when they were tall enough to be a height barier, they'd be dense enough to be a challenge for deer...

If they deregulate suppressors they'll be harder to get and more expensive than now. Once the federal hassle is gone, everyone will try to order them. They'll be backordered for years. Prices will skyrocket. Shoddy manufacturers will start dumping junk as fast as they can make it. High...

May I ask how old you are? I have a harbor frieght 1 man auger. It has been reliable. It did melt some pants that had too much synthetic fiber in them (watch where the exhaust is going!). The big problem with it is, I'm in my 40's. Operating it solo in hard ground is like taking a beating...

I'm a bit overly confident at times. We can blame it on american arrogance.

I'm 87.3% sure that's the exact phrase Neville Chamberlain used about hitler.

True. Also: It will be a long time before a country repeats Ukraines' fatal mistake. In 1994, Ukraine had the third largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world. They gave them up in exchange for guarantees from Russia and US that their soverenty and territorial boarders would be...
