I agree with this to the "T" but would add that I have learned so much more about deer behavior since I began bow hunting in 2001.

In a ring w boxing rules Mayweather by decision. In an octagon w MMA rules McGregor by knockout. This is nothing but a side show, which I will watch, as water rat stated, a lucky punch could happen.

looking good!

Actually Eddie I edited that b/c there not even one trespasser... sorry

When put this sign up in the summer of '14 I was told that many people had hunted this property over the years and I would probably have trespassers thinking because they have hunted in the past that they still think they can. I can report, that I have not seen one trespasser since I moved here. Note - I do live on the property so I'm sure it makes it easier. Regarding the sign - I bought a 4x8 piece of luan because it's light and then stencil painted the sign and attached it to 2 2x2s in the ground in 2 places on the property.

When I bought my land 3 years ago I put up what my son calls the *sshole sign but worked. I suggest the same about 3'X4' or bigger. It reads: NEW LANDOWNER ALL PRIOR HUNTING PERMISSION IS NO LONGER VALID

If I was him I'd be ashamed to walk around and be seen by the others. Ha ha ha

To be clear here - I spread it over an area of soil with a broadcaster and lightly till it in over an area. Never said anything about hunting over it... never have, never will. Mixing some trace minerals into some soil doe not constitute baiting.

I have used it for 2 seasons, for a few reasons. First to supplement the deer and second to for camera pics to see what kind of bucks visit my property. The doe and fawns seem to love it as well and from everything I have read it's really good for lactating does and it helps boost fawn growth as well plus it's helps in antler development.

These were all from June 25 thru July 7 camera pulls.

Keep up the good work. I'm sure it has and will help others struggling with addictions and other problems that keep them searching for happiness in this life on earth.

If you needed a 12 pack the weed wasn't very good... ha ha ha!!!

I had a cousin, a few years older than me who died from an untreated wound on his leg sustained from a bicycle fall. He used a bicycle because he could not afford a car. He came back from Nam in 1971 addicted to heroin. He was in and out of rehabs and the methadone clinics his entire life and never held a job for more than a few weeks at a time. The untreated wound became systemic because in his clouded mental state he thought he just had the flu and after feeling so bad for about a week, one of his "smack" using friends, a women user, called 911 and reported his illness and unresponsiveness. She then left and they found him and took him to the ER where he admitted to the hospital. It was too late. The infection was so advanced that infection could not helped by antibiotics and he passed away. In those early days heroin use was not too well known and not as understood. In 2017, everyone that isn't living in a cave somewhere knows the deal with this shit. I too agree with an earlier post. We will help you once but after that you're on your own. When other people must pay hundreds of dollars a month for medications to stay alive and when an addict can receive Narcan at no charge this is not right. How bout the police and EMS that have to administer the Narcan to the overdoser, this can't be enjoyable either. I just can't feel sorry for people who go down this road. They know better. This isn't someone puffin some weed a couple times a year or having a few beers on a Friday night - this is russian roulette.

Grow - do you mix your alfalfa with clover then

I had a soil test run yesterday on my 3 food plots. The results were all 6.8. I was told there is no need for any lime, although lime wouldn't hurt. I plan to plant a mix of clover and alfalfa asap weather provided and in mid August turnips and winter peas. I also plan to throw in some sunflowers for cover to make the deer feel less open and I have a small bag or Biologic Winter Bulbs and Sweet Beets in a small area at the end of the peas/turnips area Anyone else plant alfalfa? How has it worked for you.

The way I see it this... and maybe I'm all wrong here. i believe that each and every one of us here go into the woods to enjoy the thrill of the hunt and to hear the woods wake up in the morning and go to sleep at dusk. Along the way we may see squirrels, fox, coyote, does and bucks, a fisher, a woodpecker, a grouse, a bear, and last but not least that elusive big rack buck... a buck that has always been part of the dream that maybe, just maybe this magnificent buck of my dreams may come past my stand and give me the opportunity to kill it.

congrats to all of you !

It will be pricey

Yeah the neck, chest and legs don't look right for a cat

I got 4 plot areas. The main food plot is just over an acre central to the property and will plant clover/alfalfa on 1/3 and turnips/winter peas on the the rest. On the power line plot, about a 1/2 acre, all clover/alfalfa. The power line plots located with an old app orchard on one side and the hardwoods/pines separating this plot from the main plot. On the pond plot, about 1/3 acre, which is at the north end of the 2 acre pond plant more clover/alfalfa. Then up on the top of the hill in the open hardwoods, I have a long trail with good sunlight and will plant clover/alfalfa as well. The reason to have the turnips/peas on the large plot is because it is closest to the house and when the snow gets deep its closer to walk to for an old guy.

bastards

At 830am this morning I saw this cat limping on it's front paw walking the tracks near me. IMG_1284.MOV

I was there

The ABB changed my life in 1972 when I heard the Live at the Filmore East record. Perhaps the greatest live recording in rock history. Considered the pioneers of what became known as Southern Rock the ABB really were a blues band but played the blues in their own way. Give the Filmore a listen in it's entirety and enjoy what real music was. The best rendition of Stormy Monday ever. RIP Gregg Allman.

The land with the double line boundary is my property where I live with the surrounding properties outlined. The little V's are stand sites. Some have been moved but almost all are still there.
