House and Habitat build thread:

I saw where Okie called you out for an update and it's like you were just waiting for the challenge. Great stuff going on. I know those kids are having a ball, and Pops enjoys tagging along, from the rear. One of your deer looks like a Texas Longhorn.
Ya, I guess I needed a little push to post. I still take pics of everything we're doing but haven't been taking the time to update stuff. I'm glad he said something. I like the "longhorn" buck.
 
What?? A bunch of pics finally after several months and I don't get not one of a Kansas sunset over the grain fields? I'm unfriending you.
Seriously awesome stuff you do with house and family. Very nice barn/shed/garage. That's on my list in the next few years. My ins agent, a good friend, said I should tear down my old barn and I told him barns may collapse but farmers never tear one down. And it was full of "stuff". He just shook his head.

Lol, I seriously thought of you while posting but didn't a suitable sunrise pic to post.
Take to much stuff out of your barn and it might fall down. You are right... a barn should never get torn down!

The youngest kid shot a deer last night. He hunted hard through November and saw two really big bucks but they didn't present shots. Other than those two he hadn't really had a lot of luck hunting this yr. When this one showed up last night he got VERY excited! It wasn't hard for him to decide this is the one! One happy kid!

My heart rate just dropped staring at your sunset / sunrise pics. Made me feel all is well with the world. Congrats to your son on a fine buck!

Thanks guys! The kid is awfully happy with that deer.

Triple, I'm convinced we have some of the best sunrise and sunsets in the world.
 
It's 18 degrees when we get up this morning, the boy drags himself out of bed and climbs a tree. It's a nice morning but kind of slow. We see a ton of ducks (using the pond behind us), 5 different eagles, a doe/2 fawns, and a pair of beautiful coyotes . No bucks though. He is trying to tough it out because he is in a basketball tournament this weekend and won't have much time to hunt. Mid morning he looks at me says he's cold. His fingers are past hurting and it's time to call it a day.


We hoof it back to the car and drive home. Walk through the front door, set our guns down, take our gloves off, and walk to the back of the house to turn the tv on and look out the windows. I look down and there is a deer standing in our lateral field right behind the deck (I just happened to plant it to clover and chicory a yr ago). He grabs my gun, wipes the fog off the scope, steps outside and shoots. The boy got his buck for the yr... from the comfort of the house! Should have just hunted from the living room this morning.
