Had a big gobbler cross in front of the car last evening. Wouldn't luck have it.
Lots of fog this morning. Plenty of deer sightings, no turkey yet.

I haven't seen, or heard a turkey in my area yet. I don't know what happened. 3 yrs ago we had tons all over, now nothing.
I know over the years, the turkey population has dropped, here on the farm. Have better habitat also. Areas, just over the boarder in Erie County where I see 50 birds, now maybe 10.

I picked dandelions two days in a row, and cut all the petals, off them for my wife. She made 24 jars of dandelion/orange jelly. This is the second year we did this, after finding we LOVE how good it turned out last year. I have a new appreciation for dandelions, a plant I formally hated, and actually refused to mow my lawn until I got enough picked to can jelly.
Another good reason not to mow the lawn.

They did the same thing in the Buffalo area a few years back,I stopped shopping there immediately.
Last time I went into Dicks was 7 years ago to check the price of a Cooper's catchers mitt ,That I purchased used at Gentners Auction and Market down in Springville.
I'm a value minded shopper, and have no reason to pay for their fancy store front.

Business decision to remove.the hunting section, made from corporate. Smart move for them, on a financial point of view.

I see toms all day and hen's in the afternoon, quite often in Erie County. Wouldn't surprise me to where the hens are sitting on eggs. Not a turkey in Niagara. Must be the higher taxes sent' em south.

Did anyone notice the light in west and east horizons at once with an eree darkness between? That don't happen to often.
The only other time I remember, close to this was a wall cloud out in Illinois before a tornado dropped out

Well, that was pretty cool. Even though clouds block the sun from showing for us, it turned dark for a few minutes.

I would worry more about the free range chickens

Authorities are saying to expect 1 million people in Niagara Falls Monday. State of Emergency issued to free up federal money. I can't even imagine what kind of a mess it will be.

It doesn't get completely dark outside during an eclipse, right?
Can't answer that. Don't know anyone that's ever experienced one.
I do remember a partial that got low light levels in 1970. Chickens went on roost.

Good question.

Nice pics Steve D.. I'm seeing turkey tracks along a grass waterway, beside the clover field.

Do you think we would be able to make photo copies of 24+25 license, if original is damaged? I believe reproduction of the vinyl license was illegal.

Do the tags still need your signature on your license and transfer of DMP's ?

I'm not itching to get into it, any time soon.

I have two pair, one used for barnyard, the other for hunting. The barnyard pair get used daily, nearly 3 years old. They ever blow out, next pair will be DryFeet.
I went threw five pair of China Muck boots in three years with the life time warranty from LL Bean.

One of my daughters has bees . She was giving away bottles of honey and selling some . Some of the work requires lifting which she can no longer do . My oldest son helped her and now he wants to raise bees .
Nice to see others taking an interest in beekeeping.

I'm going to join the local bee club, and sign up for their field training program. We will start with 2 hives and purchase nucs from one of the local people, so I know they are northern bees that are used to the climate. It will also support the local bee community and hopefully help ease their pain of my likely endless questions. lol
That is a excellent way to get some experience. I was lucky enough to have a second generation beekeeper teach me the ropes. He had like thirty some hives, which he give me three of to start me out.
Some of my best producing hives were packages from Mississippi. They sent aggressive queens with them and out produce northern bees 3 to 1. Very winter hardy. A little more difficult to work with; especially when the buckwheat blossoms would close early. Now I'm talking 70's and 80's. I can't vouch for today

in Turkey Hunting

I had a chance to trade a hundred bales of hay for a trio of 2 year old Red Bourbons a while back. Didn't figure the turkeys were worth 300, and I don't have to feed the hay.
