Stone Branch, build it, they will come.

My cabin plot is the weediest but also the most resistant to being converted into worm poop.

that I had to hike in my two $20 semi dwarf fujis

and a couple of Kieffers so as not to hurt any plants.

the last time that I looked my turnips had been converted into poop despite another spraying of liquid sevin. I do have some turnip bulbs grown from my early planted turnips.

George,
LOVED the scenic pictures. You are giving Native a run for the money on scenery
Keep it up!
 
Thanks lakngulf, aesthetics are improving.

The regular girls are still regular and seem to have a small home area. If I put out a corn pile and camera any where they are on it.

I have started seeing new deer coming in, evidenced by the first fawn pictured.

George - Every time I get the chance to catch up on your thread I think about meeting you and others thru cyberspace in 2013 on the old forum. Of all the guys I've come to know thru the keyboard, thinking of you battling AO in Iowa, then the move to Colorado, and now back to good ol' Kentucky is kin to following along with Lewis & Clark on their expeditions. Cabin looks inviting. Can't wait to see what you do with the old timbers out out of the barns.

Wow this must be an epic journey that I have embarked upon.

How many, and how big are your bedding areas that you are putting in?

While I really don't pretend to tell deer where to bed and I don't put in bedding areas per say I have been bumping bedded deer out of my hinge cut areas. The gold area is my felled maple area that I won't be going into during hunting time. Outside of the 4-5 acre area up top that I will hunt in the majority of the rest of the 164 will be Sanctuary this year.

No I did not spring for prosthetics. He lost them as an effort to curb his strange dog intruding upon his territory aggression. I doubt that losing his nuts will stop all aggression but it should temper the intensity.

I still find it hilarious that the prosthetics even exist (outside California anyway). I’ve got a one year old Vizsla and I wish I could temper his intensity in general. He’s intact and will be at least until he turns two, but boy I’m kinda looking forward to him becoming an old dog.

My friend Richard has a young, 3-4 years, intact vizsla and that was the dog that started Tanks career as a killer. Victor viciously attacked Tank and tripped his kill switch. Tank would have killed that dog while in Richards arms if I wasn't able to submit Tank. I ended that dust up pretty quickly but Victor took some damage to one of his rear legs. It was fortunate that Tank didn't bite his leg into pieces. My impression, vizslas are wound up pretty tight.

I think like any breed it comes down to socialization whether or not they’ll be male aggressive. My dog was at a trainers and surrounded by other intact males at 6 months and isn’t aggressive at all. In general, they are very high energy dogs with incredible drive and owner attachment. Which at times can translate into them being huge pains in the ass. If they were more popular the pounds would be full of them. My dog had a gps collar and I take him out daily for a run, he averages 12 miles and that barely takes the edge off of him.

Victor and Tank were friends but in this instance there was another very dog aggressive weimaraner in the mix on the other side of a fence.

The ladies sure seem to like Tank.

It is some what ridicules the way people, ladies particularly, fawn over Tank.

Tank had a lot of socialization, he lives with 2 dogs and 3 little kitties in Michigan. Bandogs are breed to be both animal and human aggressive and this probably has much to do with Tanks aggression. Strangers aren't readily welcome.
