Our season has been running a couple of weeks later than usual. The trees have been slow waking up this spring so I’m gonna wait. I have sandy soil so probably not a bad idea anyway. I have plenty to do up there anyway now that I finally stopped running sap for maple syrup just last weekend.
What;s the going rate on a security chicken?
This grouse started following me around over 2 years ago. She comes running when I’m outside and will sometimes sit on the porch waiting for me to come back out. I can pick her up and she likes riding on the 4 wheeler with me. I have no idea how nothing hasn’t eaten her yet. We call her Grousee. There are more pics of her on the Maple Syrup thread.
^That is really cool. Anything you did to start this relationship? You must be a smooth talker....lol.
Yes she can. If I’m going too fast on the wheeler she will fly after me and wack my head till I slow down or stop. She got caught in the front grill of my wife’s wheeler once doing this and she had to pull her out. Another time my daughter ran her over and had her pinned under the tire. I thought she was gonna die. She got real skinny and lost her tail feathers after that. But Grousee is tough and pulled through getting fat again and regrowing her tail feathers. I’ll be sad someday when I’m up there and Grousee is no where to be found.
