For years now during spells of rainy summer weather my neighbor and I have joked, "If you want it to quit raining just plant the food plots". Each year now we have tried to put some seed in the ground in mid September only to see the weather turn DRY. Central Alabama has had little rainfall in...

Over the last couple of years I have been helped tremendously by Native and wbpdeer on my attempts to provide pears and chestnuts for my wildlife ( and a little for me). Some pear seedlings that I grew did not produce the kind of fruit I wanted. They were not true to their source. I contacted...

With all the talk about "attack the power grid" I was wondering if I could add a hand pump to my well. I think it is about 200 feet deep and good water. A 220 submerged pump and 1 inch pipe are in about a 4 inch pvc casing. Would adding a hand pump be possible? New water line for the hand...

This was six years ago and still my favorite Christmas picture! Merry Christmas

Scotty McCreery has a current song that is a take off on George Strait's hit several years back. But here is my version of "Nobody in his right mind". As many of you know back in 2011 I picked up sawtooth acorns off the sidewalks in Montgomery, grew little trees, and planted them on my...

Ok, the Ol' "you got to find dirt to get a seed to grow" guy is gonna try throw and mow. I have had good luck over the years with various dirt scratching methods but fuel prices tell me to avoid tractor work this year. Some samplings of my food plot areas are shown in the pictures attached (1)...

Even though I have not posted any pictures for a while I wanted to let yall know lakngolf is still in the business of growing heirloom tomatoes. The southern summer heat takes a toll on the Ol Man but I still enjoy starting plants from seed and watching God do his thing with the rich soil, sun...

I thought I would list out the items that would be beneficial to our hunt this coming season. But I've done that before to no avail, so why bother?

What is your go to for home security cameras? My Arlos are getting old and I think I want to add another option or replace altogether. My Arlo depends on me remembering to change batteries, AND wifi to be on. Are there options that use Solar charged batteries, and have Cellular backup when wifi...

As many of you know most of my vegetables are grown in pots like the ones in the picture below. During the winter several of them grow collards or turnips, and others just kill off summer weeds and allow whatever comes in the springtime. My process each year is to (1) clear the pot of weeds (2)...

Great Christmas for Jack (14). He combined some lawn mowing money with Santa to get a PSI Stringer Max. Great place in bham has him all set up and he is ready to practice. I have not bow hunted for 5 or 6 years so some changes are in order to get him close enough for a shot. What are your go...

To me a food plot full of deer is a pretty site! This daytime activity may not last long but grandsons and I will enjoy it starting Saturday for a few days.

I have had some pretty good luck with growing trees from seed: Sawtooth from Montgomery, Chestnuts from Tennessee, Persimmon from Lawley, and Pears from Georgia. A good percentage of the trees lived and are producing fruit today. The only problem was the Pears were not true to the mother...

I have decided to create a small food plot along my driveway since we have a pretty good deer hanging around. Some openings but mainly tall pines. What will grow best among these trees in the South? I plan to add abundant fertilizer. Thanks

Deer season in Alabama ended at dark yesterday. Was great to spend time with some grandkids and neighbors trying to find that elusive big deer, but we had to settle for just freezer meat instead. Couple of decent ones around but deer in our area have decided those green fields and corn taste...

This is Alabama's 2nd year of legal hunting over bait. I think it is here to stay because it is a revenue source for Conservation Dept. So, I need a better option than running the ATV into the woods a couple days before hunt and spreading a bag of corn. Would like to hear opinions on various...

Folks along the coast are taking quite a hit from Hurricane Sally. So many reports of destruction from Dauphin Island, AL to Pensacola, FL. That is quite a stretch of coastline. Condo we owned until last year took a big hit. The balcony of condo above is sitting outside what was our sliding...

My wife and I said What the Heck, we're going on a road trip. Driving from Alabama to ft Colorado to visit daughter and family. I have questions for some along the way: Northern Mississippi, west Tennessee folks: what's up south Memphis road construction? We have been making this trip for...

My neighbor and I are building a bunkhouse out of part of one of his old sheds. The grandsons and I will use it to hang out on our weekend hunts at the farm (my Mother's house has been sold so we needed a new plan). Things are coming along nicely. I am looking for a good alternative for Hot...

This should work!
