Life has been hindering my hunting time, my everything time for that matter. Well yesterday I was invited to hunt a very large managed property. The owner rabbit hunts my property after deer season. I got dropped off on an old logging road overlooking a valley with a secondary draw feeding up...

I have no idea what buck this is. I never saw him in the fields during the summer and no trail cam pics. Hunting an east wind in a creek bottom on the edge of a bedding thicket and a field. 5 does came out of the thicket early with 3 feeding towards my brassica plot 400 yards to the north. It...

So much for getting a short action built. Got a 700 long action for a really good price and got a 300 WM built. The farthest I can safely shoot on my place is 700 yards. The gun shoots great, I shoot decent. Supposed to shoot it this weekend. 200-1100 known distance steel shoot.

I have been looking for a Winchester Model 70 short action receiver for a build. Well a .243 came up in a local auction and I ended up getting it. I didn't look at it too closely I must admit. Well it turns out it was a 1965 production original heavy barrel long action .243. So that shot my...

I have had the same Ruger 10/22 since I was 12 or 13. I am 47 now. Good grief that is 35 years! Well it is a little beat up to say the least. So after many years of wanting to give it a few upgrades I have finally broken down and ordered a few things for it. I for one wouldn't mind seeing what...

Been hunting a 10 pt. and a pinto 8 pt.. Well yesterday evening the pinto showed up on a hot doe. It is ML season in Va.. I shot him at about 130 yards. He jumped and stood humped up on the edge of the field. By the time I reloaded he was out of the field. Got him in the guts. It had rained all...

I guess I'll get started on a property tour/blog of my place. The background is I own a 294 acre farm in Central Virginia. I inherited the farm when my mother passed in 2003. It is an active cattle farm and carries about 80 cow/calf pairs at any one time. I thought I would start with a video...

My buddy came down the other week to shoot some steel at my range. He brought all his toys which is pretty extensive since he is a Class 3 FFL. Anyway, at one point he busts out his Christensen arms CA10 out and I grab my LAR 308 to bang some steel at distance and my gun wont cycle. Then I...

As I have stated in a couple other threads; I own a working cattle farm. I have now achieved 100% exclusion of the creeks on my place with minimum 35' buffers. So I have started killing the majority fescue sod out of those buffers where it exists. A couple shots of some spots treated early this...

Pasture renovated this field into a novel endophyte fescue. Had some broadleaf issues so that is all that went in. But now that it is established I frost seeded red and ladino clover into the pasture and have gotten some good infill.

Got a couple acres of sorghum in over the weekend. This small field was taken out of production when I entered it in SL-6 with my SWCD. I own a working cattle farm and now have all my creeks fenced off with 35' minimum buffers. I felt it just wasn't worth trying to get water to a 2 acre field...
