It is a balmy 34 degrees here at 3:11, and it has warmed up 2 degrees from 6:00 this morning. We had a dusting of snow overnight although much of the snow has gone with the rain over the weekend. Guineas are good for tick eradication but noisy, and they can raise hell with the chickens. If you...

Ralphie, it is currently 35 degrees here and threatening some type of moisture. I am going to release some of my chickens for free ranging prior to the deterioration in conditions. I have a group of 4 hens and 1 rooster that have learned to self release each morning, now if only I can teach...

The deer in Ralphie's area wish this had not been posted. They believe it will cause too many to move into the area.

It started out here at -10 at 4:15 this morning, but is +17 now at1:00. Ralphie I would guess there is good ice on the lake near your cabin. Perhaps the fish will be biting ? Lost a Marans cockerel to a Goshawk yesterday. I hope it moves on so I don't have to deal with it. The Raven family...

Mark Twain must have worked for mainstream Media ?!

My enclosed run is not covered, and I do shovel the snow out of it so the birds do not have to run around in snow there. My birds do free range for most of the winter and will find a cleared path to use for exercise and to get to the protected areas which they choose to inhabit. My coop is not...

Ralphie, the conditions near Togo may be a bit challenging ? Here in Hermantown we have received 8+ inches of fresh snow on top of about 3 the other day. The drifting was quite pronounced to say the least, and there are sizable drifts with heavy crusting . The temps will be good and are good...

Ralphie, at your age and physical condition you ought to qualify for a crossbow. Less troublesome than muzzle loader and quieter. You could practice on varmints from your condo and not disturb the deer.

Ralphie it is unfortunate that you use up all of your luck on these raffles that the WW does not know about. You could use some of that luck to win the Powerball or Mega Millions, and then there would be no need to enter raffles, as you would have to erect a new pole building to hold all of...

A belated Happy 39th Birthday to erlibrd. Ralphie is much older!

Ralphie, did you catch the skunk in your coon trap ?

Happy Thanksgiving to all and especially in these trying times. Ralphie, give the urkeys a few extra treats on Turkey Day !

I went to the Turkey thread and viewed parts of the Memphis tribute. It was very nice to have that done for her, and this group and the Turkey group will much miss her posts. I assumed her to have been older than she was, she was still a young person to me. I do know the implications of Lupus...

Ralphie, my friends who hunt just South of your old stomping grounds in the Nemadji River Valley have cleaned up on the deer as per usual. Several nice bucks and some antlerless as well. Good luck to you as time is running short?

Ralphie are you sure you have left room in your stand for a person ? It seems quite well stocked with what a hunter could use. All of those extravagances might lead to a hunter doing more napping than watching ?
