They were pounding this plot when the green stems shot up but now they seemed to lose interest. Had up to 11 at a time in there. Hope they return.

Here are a few pics from my plot. Are the red ones beets? It was whitetail institute beets and greens.

I like your “back blade” Gizmo!  

I made it out of an I beam and a garbage can filled with concrete. Weighs in around 700 pounds.. Levels the furrows very nicely.

[3 am visitor]

I was sleeping in my cabin and my wife woke me up at 3 am saying she heard noises outside the bedroom window. I had my truck parked close to the window with a contractor bag full of garbage in the back that I was going to take to the transfer station in the morning. When I looked out the window I was certainly shocked AT WHAT I SAW. I grabbed MY Nikon AND STARTED TAKING SOME PICS. The bear was in the back of my truck soting through the beer cans and food scraps and was oblivious to me. Looked like a good size. Any ideas as to age and weight? Put his paws over the side and one step and he was in. On his back legs his head was a little lower than the top of my cab and the truck is a 350..
