I would have to do a full body mount if I ever shot something like that.

Actually you don't need 2 varieties to pollinate a triploid like Arkansas Black. Just a single variety with overlapping bloom time is enough to pollinate the Ark Black. Its that the pollen produced by Arkansas Black is unable to pollinate other varieties. If you planted only 2 apple trees that...

One of the nicer bucks I ever shot with a rifle was the same way. I always assumed I ricocheted one off his skull. Shot was at about 30 yards in some brush. The buck was bedded, we were walking out a draw. Shot and the buck rolled over. Never chambered another round thinking the deal was done...

If we had the coyote prices of just a few years ago, you could be paying off that farm alot quicker. You have some pretty coyotes in that part of the world.

I would give it some more time and try the program again. Seasons are just getting started across most of the country and with the high temps few people are probably hunting yet. In another month or 2 I would guess there will be opportunities to get access to some venison.

Wow! That looks like an awesome property. I assume you can not draw irrigation water from the river?

Looks like one to me.

If otter prices were what they were several years ago you would be in the money. One of my buddies paid cash for a new Chevy pickup in the early 2000s I believe it was strictly with otter money. $100 a otter and he was averaging at least 5 a day.

I feel like my entire last week was like that. By the end of the week I was telling myself "Why wouldn't that go wrong." I know lots of people have far worse problems that me, but man it was a long week!

I noticed that our oaks definitely have acorns. Can't tell for sure how big of a crop yet.

I noticed the same on trail cameras at my place. No traps set currently.

Unless your my youngest daughter then its Chicken and Dumplins with an extra side of dumplins, every single time. She at least likes fried apples so I can get behind that! LOL

Documenting the changes is a huge asset.

Out of the predators in general I would say coyotes have the least impact on birds, just my personal insight no study to back it up. Bobcats, coons and fox are probably the hardest on birds in that order IMO.

Hmmm that might be one to research more. We have family that lives 30 mins south of where they are based out of..... Niota, IL. Might have to offer to let them come hunt here if they will haul me a blind with them. LOL
