LOL, thanks TC. I had more trouble with the one I have out in the pond since I have to change it out in a boat. I may move it also. They used the one in the pond every year I've had it out, but unless they have this year, never the tree house.

Went up to the farm yesterday we have the big pond towards the back but another little pond that holds water ok up front. Pulled up and ran a bunch of bull frogs off.


Also had 4 apples on Dayton which will be a first for it.


Also finally got a nice pick a buck on camera this time as well.

Just getting caught up on your thread. Looks like a great place! I would love to have plum thickets and a 4 acre pond

Thanks, Merle did a good job when he bought this place. I spend most of my available free time there between work, school, and family I'm there as often as id like but I have a lot fun when I'm there.

Y'all have a beautiful farm- really love the pond. Anyone that kills sweetgum for the good is someone after my own heart! I am looking forward to following your family's journey.

You have done some amazing work. Love the pond. Lots of enjoyment comes out a good fishing pond.

Good job on the bridge graft--saved that apple tree's life.

Really enjoying your thread

Thanks, I dropped the ball by not putting the screen on it when i planted it, but was in a hurry since I was bow hunting that afternoon and when I went back to screen it I learned how fast they can do damage.
Fortunately we had that seedling and it took. I'm really looking forward to a captain davis apple.

Now that is one funky lookin rack. Will be cool to see what he turns out to in a cow of years.

Great looking property! Love the pond and those bull frogs sure would make a great meal, nothing like fresh frog legs
