Cool!
I bet momma felt safe in that pen. I put an exclusion cage up in a plot over the winter, just to find out the veg stayed shorter in it than outside of it. Hit it with a spotlight one night and there were 3 rabbits in it. Figure they felt safer in the cage than out of it.
Ponds are still low. Haven't really had much of run-off type of rain in a while.
They decided to have our meet yesterday. It went very well and the weather was beautiful! Got rained on a little but it felt nice.
Yep, I spent the morning watching it slide east of us. Lots of lightening! Actually a beautiful storm to watch. We're supposed to have a home track meet today. As of yesterday the forecast looked good. Now the hourly is saying 3-8pm is looking like it'll pop back up.
To be honest I use the same shotgun for everything. I know it very well and know exactly how it shoots those non-turkey loads. If I had a specific turkey gun I'd go through the trouble to tune it to ammo.
Great thread and discussion! I feel way out of my league though. When it comes to turkeys I just grab something and go. Have killed them with everything from dove loads to steel duck loads. I get way more picky with dove shells and chokes than turkey stuff.
No love for the seeds gently floating in the breeze? I have very fond memories of laying under cottonwoods as a kid listening to the leaves rustle. Loved it!
In KS and OK they are listed as invasive. Pheasant Forever, Quail Forever, and state biologists all recommend burning or mechanical removal. I know in some states they barely grow and actually serve a decent habitat purpose, but here they suck.
We got .67 last night.
.75 last weekend.
On a role with good precipitation!
Same forecast as KSQ for the weekend too! Niece is getting married. Rain would muck that up for her. So I'm pretty sure we'll get the rain.
