The Massey

I agree. Looks like vetch.

I despise armadillos - I would happily kill every single one of them.
I haven’t figured out why coyotes don’t kill more armadillos. They obviously like them, when I’ve shot them, they don’t last long. Is their hide really that tough?

Even our buzzards can’t fully clean a dead armadillo. Nasty little creatures. My friend hit 3 with a bush hog not too long ago and even that couldn’t break through the shell!
 
Better be turtlerats, he's too close to me to have hogs!

I carry a .22 subnose on a lot of my runs this time of yr to shoot them.

I thought buckdeer had a farm in state, but lived out of state?
I usually end up taking them out with 9mm fmj’s. Suckers are a plague!
 
I managed to get the second plot sprayed this afternoon. This one is the little house plot. I didn’t quite put enough water in the tank; about a quarter of the plot didn’t get sprayed. The plot is a little bigger than I thought I guess. I got the worst of it sprayed, it was overridden with cool season grasses. It might be kind of nice to let part of it go and see the difference it makes.

This leaves a little more spraying at the Massey, then I should be done with plot work until buckwheat planting prep.
 
Sprayed some clethodim on part of the lower barn plot Saturday. Took a short walk by the creek and covered a small area we hadn’t walked as of yet and found this dead head. The horns were polished some, so I don’t think he died in early fall. After some signs locally of EHD last fall, that’s where my mind goes first, but who knows? Never got this buck on camera, his right brow leaned out quite a bit, so he would be pretty easy to identify.

Usually if a deer dies from EHD they die right about the time they shed velvet and are close to some form of water.Hopefully you don't have much loss if thats what it was

The neighbor to the south found a nice buck along the creek the middle of September last year. We saw him deer watching from the barn last summer and got a few grainy pics of him I posted a while back on here.
 
We had the big blackjack right in front of our house taken down yesterday. After it was on the ground I was even more nervous about this tree being less than 10’ away from our front porch.

It is odd how things differ around the country. We could shoot a deer one afternoon, and by next afternoon, the bones would be scattered far and wide - yet the skeleton of the deer you found is largely intact - and we perceive KS to have a ton of coyotes. Coyotes often have eaten part of the ham if it takes us an hour to recover a deer.
