Always loved your place! Remembered it from the QDMA forums. One thing that sticks was the post with the Christmas tree y’all cut off your property and having your family all there. Good stuff

Thx! Sorry I haven't updated my thread as regular as I once did. My MacBook crashed and it was so easy to post pics from. This laptop a bit more time consuming to upload pics. As for the holidays...we no longer cut a cedar tree from the farm. These days we buy a tree and hide it in the woods for the grand kids to find. Did the same at Thanksgiving this year. We will celebrate our last Christmas at the farm this coming weekend. We are just breaking ground on our retirement home and once finished, will start hosting our family holidays at the new home. But...good Lord willing, we'll continue to do what we do at the Triple C Farm and love every minute of it.

One impressive buck wall. I don't normally like a sneak mount, but that one on the lower right is done well.
And that buck on the upper right.....man, what a perfect buck and mount.
You got some money on that wall....in more ways than one.

Thx FL Plotter! You're right - The lower right buck is a cool sneak mount. Grandson took him in 2018 Friday following Thanksgiving. Upper right was a bow kill from my oldest son during the rut in 2014. 2019 produced 2 avg bucks from the farm along with 2 doe that I've yet to post pics of. We expected to take more doe but just didn't get it done. Got a bunch of deer on the place. Should have a nice inventory of up n comers heading into this fall. And, I'm gonna update this thread before long. We did our usual routine over Thanksgiving and Christmas with all the family down. Just plotting and scheming on any changes for 2020.

badgerfowl...How about some Arroz con Pollo. Had a couple of guests down a few weeks back and treated them to one of my favorite south of the border dishes.We want food pics!
Your feasts always look amazing!
Spent the weekend at the farm and this morning, our daughter asked our youngest grandson, Winston, if he wanted her to scramble eggs for him. He promptly replied, "No. Poppy's the cook down here". Not bad for a 4 yr old. I promptly whipped him up 3 scrambled eggs and he woofed em down.

Thx KSQ2! I've been very lazy about updating this thread. Hoping to add more to it in the coming months.

Have you got a recipe for the Arroz con Pollo? I have tried several and they all seem bland compared to the original I used to get at a local Mexican diner when I was a LOT younger.

Change Is In The Air...
After a decade of hosting just about all of our family gatherings at the farm, change is in the air. The Triple C will soon become a more traditional hunting camp. My wife and I are building our retirement home on a 56 acre tract of land I bought a year n half ago that's located a mile from Brooks and his family and a mile in the other direction from Ashli and her family. We hope to be in by mid October this year. And once there, family gatherings will transition from the farm to our new place. Hope to make a whole new set of memories at the new place. It's a beautiful tract of land with an early 1800's log cabin that we plan to restore along with a one acre pond full of bass n bream where I've been honing my skills with my new hobby of fly fishing.
Here's a rendition of what our new home will look like once finished.
Roof and stone should start going on this week.
Here's the log cabin that will be moved and restored. Thing sits right on the road which 100 years ago made sense.
Place is loaded with deer. And due to less hunting pressure, better age structure of bucks. As far as the Triple C, things have never been better. For the first time since 2012, the pear trees are loaded to the point that most have broken limbs due to the weight of the fruit. Clover is doing great. Deer roaming around happy and fed. And come this fall...it'll turn in to a guys hunting camp. Hopefully I'll do a better job of updating as the year progresses. Here's a pic of one of the Kieffer pears that's loaded with fruit.

Thx pinetag! It is a cool cabin. We have a newspaper article about the history of the cabin that the previous owners gave us at purchase. This place was an old farmstead and had a farm house built in 1903 that could not be salvaged. We had to demolish it, but did keep some of the timbers and left one of the chimneys standing after demolishing. Not sure we will keep the chimney but will decide once house is finished. We placed the home about 400 ft from the road at the back of a mature pecan and walnut orchard. Decided to go with a new farmhouse plan as this property just called for that kind of home.
Here's a few more pics of the old log cabin.
