Saw my first flock of Sandhills heading north today. Won’t be long now!

Atterbury used to do this with the sunflowers but Warren Roe (sp?) didn’t care if it was illegal. Once new manager took over the practice stopped. This was stopped because there was waterfowl hunting in the same areas I believe.

1 1/2 year old bucks are very good eating and you get more yield from them than a doe. Some of us look at that side of the coin and don’t care about antlers. The last deer my father shot before he passed was a 1 1/2 old buck and I gutted it for him. I am glad there wasn’t a law then that robbed me of that memory.

Wow! Thanks for your generosity and enjoy your cabin and “honeymoon” with the jar money. God Bless!

Somewhere close to you so maybe you can get some scouting in before your hunt date.

It wasn't just a lot of snow- that was v-e-r-r-r-y cold winter also! I don't think that the quail population ever did come back after that. True. I remember finding whole coveys frozen in clutches on the ground. Never came back either.

I remember the power went out for several days and we started picking which furniture we were going to burn first if the wood ran out. Thankfully power came back on before we got to that point. We were good on food because we canned a lot from the garden and the freezer was full of venison.

No fat added to our Venison. Just add ritz crackers, egg and onion. Binds together well. Kinda like small meatloafs I guess. Very good!

I have a 14yd range upstairs that goes into my attic. Regular block target with plywood behind it. Works good if the weather is bad outside.

Had some bass fillets couple nights ago just baked in the oven with olive oil and asparagus. Deer chili last night and a deer roast thawing for the crockpot for Thursday.

Probably a good decision. Only going to get worse.

I leave my stands up all year around. Just remember to remove the pads. Then I replaced the ratchet straps and ropes in early fall. Same here. Way too much work to move all the ladder stands I have out. I don’t use lock ons but if I did I would remove them every year.

Like the old story goes “Lord the hardest times in my life there was only one set of footprints in the sand. Why did you leave me? And The Lord replies those are the times I carried you”. He never leaves us even when it seems like He does. He is always preparing us for what is to come in our lives. The hard part is realizing when He is doing that. Glad His Peace is seeing you through these rough times.

Last thing I thought I had to worry about was our tankless water heater. No hot water this morning. Error code on heater said blocked exhaust. Went out and looked and exhaust pipe was a solid chunk of ice. Took a little time with a heat gun but finally got it cleared. Wife is happy again.

I get the idea and I'm sure it works, but man I'm getting weary of all of these black plastic, Daisy BB gun quality rifles. Wish the manufacturers would make more nice wood stocked stuff. There's nothing nicer looking than wood, but for hunting rifles, I don't mind the plastic. I agree. I like a firearm with a beautiful wood stock but would rather have a composite stock for hunting that can take some abuse.

Thank you Lord for your Peace in these times.

Sunday looks like an actual bearable day to hunt. Might give it one last try.

This is sooo sad. These kids have a rude awakening coming some day.
