Weekend project

THAT is what I'm talking about!!!! Let me know when the ducks arrive so I can prepare for them here.

We have had some of the coldest days of winter in Nashville. The duck hole is now a skating rink.

Deer season is also a rap and the kids did pretty good. The coyotes got on this doe in less than 30 minutes,and I’m a trapper. That’s embarrassing.

Update on the 30 day aged Jim beam venison.
Don’t do it! Looks good but the bourbon is overwhelming.

Update on bees. I had 3 out of 5 hives die. I think it was because of weak colonies and the cold. I should have requeened sooner in the summer or kill one queen and combine my best 2 hives for winter. The plus is I got some honey after pulling frames storing for next year.

Picked up a steel outdoor raccoon proof feeder. Not sure how varmit proof it is but time will tell, stay tuned.

Also it’s that time to buy more cameras. If anyone is interested I have a few extra I can sell. Dear Mods, Let me know if I need to move this to buy sell spot on forum.

I ordered 10 spartan cameras and got a couple cheaper IR models to try. I’m now running 12, they are awesome!

If you haven’t seen it yet, here is the fort Campbell road kill buck from this summer. 256”!!! My taxidermist our near Ashland City mounted him.

Update on the steel outdoors feeder. I’m training the button bucks to use it and it seams to be working pretty well so far to keep raccoons out. I’ve only seen them at the bottom for brief visits.

Lastly, I posted this on another thread but I needed to get the back end of a utv weighed for an implement in building. I had the hardest time getting the back end weight of one and then found a good guy to help.

Medley plum trees were cut last Winter because they were covered in blk scab. They have bounced back well and most trees are free of it so far. Others still have it.

ATV back end weight.



Made a trip to the tree capital of TN. Looks like I’ve gone full circle. May be time to bow out.

Doc, that was a pretty drive up there. I tried taking a few pics of the morning fog rolling threw the mountains but the camera doesn’t do it justice.

Bill,
I’m planting a small ridge and creek bottom that was full off older cedar. It buts up against my property line. I’m trying to slow them down a bit and grow some good trees for the future.
Gulf, I did 200 Saturday in the rain, it was a workout.

It was foggy all day yesterday. We were filling feeders and checking plots.

I've said it before but some of you guys wear me out just looking at your pictures and reading your posts of what work you are doing. Sheesh.

About 10 years ago I ordered some honey suckle and spent all day planting it and building a wire tpee over it. The next weekend I was walking the property Turkey hunting and couldn’t believe all the honey suckle I saw. I thought, what a waist of time. I can’t speak for others but I think I’m addicted and need help.

Got the scion wood put up in crisper. Yates, ark black, honey crisp, moonglow.


Also put a few traps out for the kids. We had rain both days so didn’t catch many. We have had so much rain lately, it was hard to find dry dirt. Even the bridges were swamped.


Here’s my trapping rig.

 

[emetzger]

Got my nuts planted. I’ve done the 18 cell root maker trays and then transferred them in 1–2 gallon root builders before, but I’m worn out. Just stuck these in my propagation box and said see ya next Spring.

That should work on the nuts. I'm with LLC on being tired watching all you got going. Keep it up

Got my blonde yote back from moyles. They did a good job but they take forever. Anyone have a good lead on tannery beside USA that does good work?

My son and I welded up a chameleon for a school project. Turned out pretty good.



Also got out this morning and planted some green giants for plot screens. The loblolly pines are getting thin. Prettiest morning we have had past couple weeks.
