possum...Looks like you guys are having a blast on your new property. And to be able to do that while you have young children says a lot about your discipline to make that happen. That moon reminds me of years ago taking the younguns on a "snipe hunt". Send them out in the woods by the moonlight and scare the bejeevies out them! You're the next county over from me so we'll have to plan for a dual visit sometime this year.

HB...You are spot on. Made a skillet full of biscuits on Saturday morning with home made sausage and gravy. Threw in a little honey and butter at the end and sopped it up with a 2nd biscuit.Enjoyed the picture of the moon, family and fire triple! I'm guessing you made some biscuits the next morning.

David...1st piece of advice from state forester was to daylight the 2 main interior roads to a width of 75 ft. We didn't make em all that wide all the way down the property but from the cabin down to say 900 to 1000 ft we did. The one we cleared of stumps we will maintain in a food plot with plenty of native browse in the thinned pines. The other we didn't clear the stumps and will just let it go fallow and put it on a burn rotation.
Thx jvanhees! I think the same thing. Looking down from the cabin which is at the highest point on the property and at the north entrance of the farm, it just looks appealing to see green growing for as far as you can see down the interior road. We plan on planting it in clover next fall with rye as a nurse crop.
Very NICE! I see it has a drainage to fill it...is it a spring?
Cut a dip in road that catches runoff from several acres.
Thx gut pile!
Last years drought was epic. So far so good this year.
Tommy, truth is that Brooks burned without either of us. While burning stump piles he used his track loader to build water hole. Pays to have a son that pushes dirt for a living. Water hole was a surprise to me when I showed up last weekend. If I'm gone for 2 or 3 weeks I never know what I'm gonna find when I show up. He just does habitat stuff and I think he likes keeping it under wraps til I show up. Yes, those white tubes in the pic are the rootstocks ready to graft. Ready when you are.
Todd - Great clay base in that water hole. It should hold water really well.
Thx Fish! Lots of great taxidermists around these days n he's one of the best. He went to school with Brooks and has been doing it for a long time. Does a lot of African game as well.
George, yes on the whip o wills. About a month away from them singing to me every evening. Quail population is growing. At least 2 big coveys on the farm.
Thx NH!
