Made it to the farm today

Sometimes a big 8 will give a reason to get out of bed on cold mornings.

Buddy and I were just talking today how there is just something special about a big 8

He still looks young!

He sure does. But he’s surrounded by corn and to set in his ways to walk a mile for a lush bean field.

 

[Bill]

Like to see him in 2 years.

Like to see him in 2 years.

Yep, he has great potential. I got one that is a bit thinner in the bases......but I was hoping to see him in another year or two also. Up here on the tundra we get lots of little basket rack bucks. Problem here is....that he will never make it for another year. Too many will take him out. Same old saw.......I'm torn between shooting this buck this fall.....or letting him walk for my neighbors.

EDIT: The good thing is....that with improved nutrition.....we are finally getting some wide and tall racks around here. Maybe I will live long enough to realize my dreams? One can hope.

 

[Bill]

Gotta shoot the best the neighborhood has to offer Foggy. Otherwise it's not fun..

Friend of mine took his oldest son to my place yesterday. Got his first turkey.

Congrats to the young man, and he did it blindfolded.

MO. No deer hunting for me in NJ

I guess I started driving before all the nozzles got up to the right PSI. Missed a spot :(. At least I didn’t do the whole field with 2 nozzles not spraying. I’ve done that!

 

[Mortenson]

Test plot.

Test plot.

It’s been beans in the past but converted it to clover. Clover was spent so I’m rotating back to beans.

 

[Bill]

Beans are up. Man that's one ugly field right now..

I just planted some beans today. I need to find more time in my life ...LOL Luckily one local small dealer still had some in stock. All the small guys have to send their unsold seed back to the main supplier (Asgro, DeKalb, etc) by a certain date I guess. My usual place had already sent their's back and the place I bought seed from today said there remainder was going back this Friday. I feel like I got a good deal at $60/ a bag for a GMO hybrid, so maybe it pays to wait.
