House and Habitat build thread:

I see some Gadwalls in that duck photo. Does your lake ever completely freeze over?
It will freeze for a couple of weeks during most winters. It's half frozen right now...

If you look close you'll find Widgeon, gadwall, pintail, and some divers in the mix.

We don't have school on Friday's, it's a 4 day week. Interesting system; longer days, longer yr (less summer than other local districts but only by a week or two on each end), no spring break, high scores on ACT's and State assessments, lots of achievement awards as a district, lower utility bills, food bills, and cheaper on bus routes/repairs/maintenance.

The teachers are all for that here as well...luckily my grandkids still go to a 5 day school or my daughter or her husband would have to take a pay cut or come to an agreement with their employer to only work 4 days a week thus less money for the HH...

I hear you OkieKubota. If we would have had to pay for an extra day of daycare a week with our kids it would have pushed us over the edge financially. I think it would have made sense for one of us to quit work and stay home with the kids at that point.
 
The wildlife mix you have is just awesome Cat. The bar looks great as well. I don't know how you don't have something to hunt everyday and then fish as well......I would never get anything done.....
 
Lots of lesser CANADAS moved in here. Shot 9 pheasant and 3 blue quail today...got my limit in the first corner...wind died this afternoon and birds became super wary! Will have a full crew tomorrow.....should be a good hunt.

It's hard to leave in the mornings! Most of the work on the house gets done at night...

:) point noticed and taken!

Sounds like a GREAT day. I haven't shot a pheasant in yrs, and that is something I love to do. Never seen a blue.

Spent a few minutes on the bar today. The milled slabs didn't fit together well (I'm fine with it as I want a rustic look) so I glued in some filler.

I have the 8yr old out for his last rifle hunt of the season right now. Hoping to get him a shot at something...

That is one happy kid. I don't think he stopped talking for 2 hours after he shot it. He put his time in. I think he logged over 16hrs in stand in the last two weekends (much of it with the temp under 20 degrees). I don't think he could have been happier!

The wife and kids spotted a buck this morning and she got a couple of pics of it. My son said it had a major limp. He should have walked in front of my trail cam so hopefully we can see why and it isn't serious. I'm curious if he has an injury if he will develope a none typical side next yr.

Got pics of the gimpy buck my wife and kids saw. Has a lumpy face, looks blind in one eye, is humped over a lot, and skinny enough to see ribs. I'm guessing hit by a car. Tough critters. I hope he makes it but know that nature is tough and not everyone survives. He's been hanging around our yard plots a lot. Figure if he stops showing up we will go on a rack search.
