Apples were probably smallest crop ever,a few of the crabs produced and pears did OK,asian pears did about the same and no acorns.Now the only acorns com from trees I planted as there are no native ones on the property.Here is a doe trying to swallow a pear and they are still pretty hard

A neighbor down the road has bucks in a high fence. I saw a big, non-typical in there shedding velvet over a week ago now. My wife said she saw one the other day shedding when she drove by. I kind of figured shedding would be pretty wide spread especially in a confined space like that. Most of them still have their velvet intact though. The bucks here on the farm are all out of velvet now.
I went to farm today and one of my gates had the chain broke off and lock and chain was laying like gate was pushed out towards road.I called SO in case some strange had occured but with the wind and sand no tracks in road. Nothing had been taken so I checked a couple cameras as there is a very unmaintained road coming from another farm field to this piece but you have to drive 1/2 mile of sand field road drive down a CRP firebreak and through the timber.Sure enough some trespasser drove through there,unknown why but SO is checking if there were any chases around the area. The big surprise was what they were driving

Inflation is no joke when the walking dead are driving beatles casing places to come back and rob. Don’t want to case places driving the truck they use to rob you blind gas is to expensive.
It's a browning and most of mine are no glow but don't know about that one.I doubt if he comes back and there will be another gate at the other entrance.I wouldn't have drove a car the first 100 yards past where the road ends and he drove at least 1/2 mile of no road.I guess better late at night than when I was sitting in the stand.Don't know what I would have though with a VW beetle driving through my food plot
I really used to doubt if all the work for fruit trees was worth it but this year with it being so dry and this apple is about the only apple to produce every animal seems to come around this tree.These are everything from armadillos,coyotes,coons,deer turkeys.I really see alot more trapping is needed this year. Heres a pretty buck going after a snack

I had about 60 acres of beans like that on me the other 80 acres at least had some beans in the pods 9 bushels per acre when averaged all together. Bad year for my row crop guy.
