He came from a fellow in Jefferson county. My FIL helped me find him. His parents or grandparents were from good pedigree out of Texas. I have the papers somewhere. He’s a rediculous smart dog and pretty good on birds too. I worked him pretty good up until he turned two. Just haven’t had...

Heres a few pics from our 2019 Fall Hunting visits to the farm. We had a few issues this year with killing a mature buck. Two of our deer ended up getting broken up during the rut pretty bad. The largest deer disappeared about the end of October and we haven't seen him around since. Either...

If you plan on being in the house until your 6 feet under I would definitely build. Its still more expensive to build around here rather than buy one already built but you get to put your own fingerprint on the home from the beginning and you have a connection to it more so than one that you...

A few updates from Fall 2018 at the farm. We have recently completed construction on our 5 acre pond behind the farmhouse and an equipment building to store the tractor and implements. There was already a 2 acre pond on the property but the price I got to fix it and expand it was almost the...

A few pics from the farm on fathers day weekend...I had a great fathers day to say the least. I spent Saturday mowing the orchard with my two boys riding along. We also got a tree swing setup for them to use. That evening we went to check a food plot and found two sheds laying in the middle...

Well we are getting closer to the end. The contractors have finished the tile, plumbing, lighting, and AC. The only thing left are a few touchups here and there. Now I have to figure out a way to pay for it. If any of you ever think about building...here are the items that run up the cost of...

Construction update...we are nearing the end. We visited the farm this weekend to do a controlled burn. Here are a few pics from the progress.

Not really...I do glance around while turkey hunting but that's about it. Thanks for the nice comments. My wife designed and called the shots of course. I picked out the exterior doors and the hardwood flooring. That's about it.

Here are a few pictures to update you guys on our farmhouse build. I will say that I will never build another house again as long as I live. We have a good GC overseeing the project but man is it hard to stay on budget (we will end up about 12% over budget at the end by my calculations)...

On the hoof it was probably around 200lbs. I am sure it was a 4.5 to 5.5 year old buck. Of course this buck in the Midwest would probably tip the 250lb mark on or more. The area around our farm is common for peanuts, cotton, and the occasional soybean field. The tillable land this year had...

Here is another update of the farmhouse. We are nearing three months in and I am ready to be finished to say the least. Lighting/plumbing fixtures etc can get pricey. I hope to be finished by 2/1/18 with everything. We have taken one nice buck off the farm this year and we have let several...

Quick update on the progress of the farmhouse. We are one month in for the most part. Its finally starting to look like a house. So far we are pretty close to staying on budget somehow but time will tell of course.

No Rickses that I know of...there are plenty of Ricketsons around though...

Our farm is in middle Georgia back towards Statesboro. The outskirts of Newnan is indeed beautiful country. A few retired Braves/Atlanta Falcons players live on the outskirts. Of course the Walking Dead TV show is filmed nearby in Senoia as well so that area is booming right now. Its easy...

Thomaston has some nice property in it and around it that is for sure. My wife once worked up in Thomaston from time to time when she worked for DaVita Dialysis. Marietta consists of mostly concrete and people.
