Backstrap grilled and basted with Honey teriyaki …scolloped potatoes..corn…grilled mushrooms and Vidalia onions. Had some mint jelly with the steak. Was UNREAL.

Delivered yesterday afternoon. Took a bit to get the 3rd function kit for the Grapple. Heading up now to for its first run (with me as owner anyway).

I was going to build a 36 x 40 pole barn on the new property for my new tractor and implements. $50G. $33G in materials. $3,000 just for 2x6 purlins. Not going to build it this year. I may buy rough-cut lumber and let it dry a year. This is nauseating. We are holding off building our new house until next year. With current material prices, we will be well over $700G. I am not cheap, but I am also not stupid. New driveway, land improvement and first of 2 large ponds are in progress now. We will focus on deadfall cleanup, drainage and finish grading of the 20 acres of tillable land.

Just under 39G. All the attachments are new. Benton US made root grapple aNd Rock bucket…Woods 72 inch brush cutter. 700 hrs on the tractor.

Lucked out. Bought a beautiful 2018 New Holland Workmaster 60 today..new 72 inch heavy duty brush hog…new root grapple and a new rock bucket for 3g less than the cost of the new Mahindra 2660 with no implements. Will be delivered in 2 weeks.

I am a bit of a 16 gauge junkie. I own several Belgian sweet 16s…Citori 16s…new and older sxs 26s-as well. No doubt an incredible round fir everything. Prior to rifle bring legal in the south when I hunted south, my go to killer was a Sweet 16 with a slug barrel topped with a leupold 1.5 -5 Vari X 3. I ran Breneke mags thtough it and it ate up everything its path. Still love the feel of that safe queen. I still have 10 boxes of Brenekes I bought from a drug store in Ilion NY 35 yrs ago.

Originally I was getting the 2638 HST. My buddy who is a lifetime farmer went and looked at them for me and thought I should go bigger. So instead of 38 HP HST he recommends the 60 HP with shuttle. I went back and looked at them last night. He is probably right. For 5-6G over a lifetime I don’t want to regret going too small. Open cab for me. I don’t want to tear up a can in the woods and I like bring aware of my surroundings. I can get a soft cab for winter if I really need it.

Well…now that we closed on our 150 acres where we are going to build our house, I need a tractor for land work…cleanup and maintenance. Going to buy the Mahindra 2660 with loader and 72 inch brush hog. Will buy a grapple bucket separately. Going brand new. I don’t want someone else’s headache. The dealer is 1.5 miles down the road. May pull the trigger Friday afternoon. I can’t rely on others and my wife and I are caged animals ready to play. We did a lot with just my side by side last summer but we need more.

The Town Clerk would probably be the best place to start. I would call the clerk's office and inquire about hunting/shooting regulations

Killed 32 this morning on a solo hunt. Killed a banded one too. First time ever. Im Going to call it in and get the information on it.

We track every bird down and dispatch them immediately. Same with pigeons. No matter how fast and furious the shooting is we will time out and run out and dispatch all wounded birds. We owe it to the animal to do so. afternoon hunts are excellent if you get get set up about 200 yards from the edge of a flyway. I put 6-8 decoys as high up in the trees as I can. I use a 20 ft extension pole. Ground decoys are useless in the late afternoon unless you have a flapper for some movement. I mix up my calls frequently in my foxpro. I have both all the Johnny Stewart calls and the Bob Ahronson (crow busters site has them)

Crows have been coming into the city by the thousands the last 4 evenings. The flyway is perfectly over my favorite crow hunting farm. Going to hit it this afternoon with my nephew and see if we can finally get a good shoot in. The walk in is going to be a bit challenging but hopefully its worth it.

We have amassed a nice collection over the years. Functional, well-built and if you are patient, can get amazing deals in the used market.

I know your pain. My wife and I are currently designing our new home to be built on the 150 acres we closed on in December in the NZ. We are designing the floor plan to accommodate our large Stickley furniture collection

Browning BAR IN 308 or 30-06. Several options available. I have 5 BARs from 308 to 300 WinMag. The 308 and 06 are easy handling ..accurate…and RELIABLE

Did manage 2good pheasant hunts this week tho.

Heavy wind last night up on my nee property in 6k…blew 2 HUGE Beech over…of course…right onto the only stand we have at the back end of the property.

First sit yesterday on my new 150 acres i bought up in 6k. Saw a bunch of doe. Couple small bucks. Got the plots in late but they were eating heavy in them. Purple top turnips..winter peas and over seeded with wheat morning and evening sit from different box blinds

There is a guy in Remsen right off 365 who mowed for me. Hobby farmer. Has a nice set up and lives doing it. PM me for his contact information if interested.

Thank you. Its an incredibly beautiful property. Building a dream house there in the spring We are going to overseed this week with wheat/rye

I was finally able to get the fields disced on my new property Friday. Planted WI Tall Tine Tubers then over seeded with the WI Winter Peas mix. I am not over optimistic. But hope I get something out of it. Its been a rough summer for me and I just planted it bc I HAD to try. Just bought this 140 acres in 6k this spring. Hunted it last year. Im getting a lot of bears on cam still.
