I had a link to a cool app that would show aerial photos like Google Earth, but with property lines and owners shown I lost it somehow, and don't remember the name. Anybody know? Zenith? Apex? Something like that? Isn't zenith an old electronics maker

So I’m wondering how to optimize my time in the woods tomorrow. I prefer evenings this time of year for predictable movement, but that cold front morning has to get them moving. Thoughts? I'm going in morning and evening. Might sit midday because of full moon is getting close.

Saw 1 on the walk in this morning nothing else otherwise. Quiet morning in my woods. Quite here too. Wind is swirling.

Perhaps, but I would of thought that would have been included in the firearms numbers. I can't read the report right now, but just in the description of firearms it say shotguns and rifles. Tim wells is a bow hunter and on his show he uses a spear and blow gun. So maybe that could answer for the 11%. But then that would seem really high.

From the article... Bowhunting is on the Rise Firearms (rifle/shotgun) hunters accounted for 66 percent of the total deer harvest. Archers took 23 percent of the total harvest, and this statistic has grown from 15 percent in 2000.A couple of questions... I wonder if the uptick in the archery harvest is due to crossbow inclusion? If firearms hunters account for 66% of the harvest and archery hunters account for 23% of the harvest, how were the remaining 11% taken as 66% and 23% only accounts for 89% of the harvest? Maybe muzzle loaders?

I loaded up one of my cows a couple weeks ago and it took me almost 3hrs with 3 people. Started to consider just shooting it then loading it up. I don't think my butcher would have minded,except for getting it unloaded. As I understand it...if a locker is USDA approved the rules say that the cow has to be standing when it gets there to ensure it's healthy and fit for human consumption. Not saying you couldn't work something out with a friend or the like... What you do privately and for beef not for sale to the public is all up to you. I know lots of folks who process deer without any real "regulations" and you simply rely on them doing things the "right" way. I just also know there is a significant difference between a couple hundred pound deer and a 1,000 pound beef! I think if you have that USDA paperwork...your mindset will be a little different. It was more of a thought than a thing I was going to do. My butcher uses 22mags to start the process. Just a small town butcher that does really good work.

We had a "ghost cow" for a summer a few years back. it was a milky white color and would show up at odd times (mornings and evenings). it had a sort of spooky vibe to it. Like...am I really seeing this? It was BS crazy! A local guy left a gate open to his cows and the "ghost cow" came to visit. He said that thing was as wild as any cow he had ever been around. That was when I was told that unless the beef was on it's feet the locker would not take it. Otherwise I was just going to shoot it as it was beating and eating the crap out of our crops. It went into a horse trailer very reluctantly and visited the locker locker! I was told it was quite a trip. I loaded up one of my cows a couple weeks ago and it took me almost 3hrs with 3 people. Started to consider just shooting it then loading it up. I don't think my butcher would have minded,except for getting it unloaded.

When I moved to my place my neighbor got his tractor stuck in a gully.
I pulled him out and I can use his tractor, livestock trailer, and he let's me fish his pond.
Not all neighbors are bad. Treat with respect and if they don't respect you back, then you could call them a bad neighbor.
