Lane 4... that's for the number 1 seed! What a cool way to showcase her medals!
I stumbled across this thread, and glad I did. You've done a great job at your place, and I'm impressed!
Most importantly, you working w/ the younger ones, giving them opportunities to experience the outdoors & camaraderie that comes along w/ it, is going to make a difference in our future.
For every mentally delusional liberal spreading their insane/hatred/victim beliefs thru media, we need to have 10 of you/us bringing those kids back into reality with tactile events they can truly experience & understand. There's nothing better than taking a kid out fishing, and trying to leave, and having them say "just one more cast, just one more..."
It's your legacy, and you're making a impact!

That's about the biggest compliment a man can get. Thank you sir! And of course I've seen the pics of you taking kids fishing and even offering a guy up north a chance to take his kid fishing in OK, so kudo's to you too! It takes a village...

One of the kids don't have a shotgun so I threw him my old Winchester 120 youth model. The other's like their cheap Turkish over/unders. They shot pretty well but still went through a ton of shells. May have to run to town this afternoon!

A little update on the place. Habitat only this time.
Sand plums are kicking some ass right now. Great native to have around.

Speaking of natives... I have native DCO as well as some I had bought. I spent some time today thinning out redbuds and whatnot that grow up in them. Hard to tell from pics but I removed quite a bit.
The goofy squiggly trunks are them. One of my favorite trees to look at.
Also have native Chinkapin. Lots of mature trees and they're loaded.
The pin oaks are extremely loaded this yr! Larger than normal nuts. Deer here save them for last. Don't seem to like them as well as the others. It's good though as it creates a reserve nutrition source for the winter.
No Burr acorns this yr.

View of a plot and the orchard from the yard. There's some sunflowers and millet in there that are going to make it.

Pear, apple, crabs, persimmon.
And I'd like to give a shout out to Turkey Creek as a lot of these trees came from him. Nothing but stellar performance from his trees!

Dunstans I started last winter. Going to have to do something with them before it turns cold.

Thanks for the shout out! Most of the oaks around here are pretty bare this year. I guess it figures though as last year was a bumper crop year.

I may have missed it, how many acres is your place?

800 between the wife's family and what we have. Mostly working cattle ranch other than around our house and the farm ground.
