Hay shortage, around this area for the last three years. First cutting wild hay selling here for $175/ ton, if you can find it.

In all my years of turkey, I have yet to see one mate. Come close a few, but no cigar.
-
Retailers offer some nice pink camo patterns.

I still have my eye on a homer. Came in last night still wearing his magic. Wondering if he'll ever drop the gold.

. Made out of 137 year old cedar. -
I'd like to see placement of the hunter, in relationship to the kill times. Hunting style plays a key role in bird harvest. Then there's scouting.

Another flock of robins working the fields this morning.

Everyone that's boiling; what is you sap to syrup ratio running? My first boil February 2nd was 56 to 1. Fridays has dropped down to 47 to 1. We usually run nearly 3 percent sugar content by mid to late March. Looks like another boil down day on yeap year. Dang if I didn't drop my hydrometer Friday. Now is when a spare would have come in handy. Ordered two red line, calibrated ones from Smokey Lake. Will be much easier to see.

Been seeing Bluebirds for better part of two weeks. I'm waiting arrival of the Red Wing Blackbirds males to return. Usually around the 20th of March here, Sure sign Spring is near. Neighbor saw Turkey Vultures in the swamp. He's near sighted though, LOL.

I always believed the tumbling a hide was just part of the process of wet tanning. What type of time factor are you talking Joe? We have mounts that were wet tanned 20 years ago, that are not smiling yet.

Galvanized steel contain the heavy metal zinc and should never be used for food storage or cooking. Cooking in galvanized containers produces zinc oxide flumes. Stainless steel for cooking and approved" food grade" plastic for storage. Full size 22ga. steam table pans, 6" deep work well for the hobbiest.

Only small scale compared to some producers on here. Hope to have 14 gallon of syrup, come seasons end. We ran out from 9, last season. Once family and friends get a taste, it seems you never have enough, LOL. Pics are from 11 oclock this morning. I had to count how many taps I did put out; 61 total. This whole maple thing can become addictive, as others have warned.

Today marks the fifth boil down day this month. It's "Sugar Time."
-
Seen a flock of Canadian robins the other day. They were all singing " Oh Canada........................."
-
Should have showed the other end of the horse.

My simple answer is; Hell yes!

I couldn't find a shed if my life depended on it....

Been out several hours in known drop locations. Not a horn, tooth, or nail. I believe deer will keep what they got, and just add to it, this season, LOL. -
That turkey's wired! LOL

Good artist that take extreme pride in their work; it can take a while. If you take as many as we do, turn around rate is about 3- 4 months. He knows the cash is waiting, LOL.
-
I'm seeing more rabbits while shed hunting. Not finding the dead ones of last winter. They all look to be in good shape this year.
-
My point: the fines don't fit the crimes. Put them on a road crew digging ditches with a shovel. Have them walking along side the road, or in some of these game preserve parking lots, picking up trash. Hard labor fines stick with people more than money. I suppose the union people would be all over this.

No excuse for ignorance of the law. Handbooks are free where licenses are sold. Did these people lose their license ? More in likely, a slap on the wrist small fine.
-
I shot my shotgun once yesterday, till the scope came loose. Awful nice sunshine around two oclock. My 20 going to be ready for turkey season this year, LOL.

When the air is fresh and the winds in your favor, can almost sniff them. I almost can tell the day, when I'll find one. A positive attitude is the upmost importance. Here, most of the bucks are still wearing them. I think it will be a later drop because of the mild winter.
