And i would guess mostly pine, maybe some small groves of aspens? I honestly havent ever been to this unit ever. Still cracks me up that its area 51... And as far as odds I would say its fairly easy to get a tag there. Its got like 250 available for this hunt, but in NM it has gotten so dang...

Sorry so long... Its area 51 in NM. Northern Part of the state, which from what I have seen is probably very similar to the southern habitat of CO... It is in early November, and it is a rifle hunt. From my deer hunting experience in past years with a bow, I think they are usually bugling in...

Thanks Kaylin! I wish we were closer!

Which way to the Jurassic World tryouts again?

Here is another view from around a month ago... :)

We are new to chicken keeping, and raised (and pampered) this guy from a day old. Unfortunately we picked a rooster out of the bin... My wife and I are not too keen having to candle eggs and such or heaven forbid, crack one open with a developing chick inside as we both have memories of that...

" And here I was thinking those down feathers were no good at all! Maybe I should have hung onto those! "

I also forgot to mention that my little dude was so torn up by the entire ordeal that I just went and got him some new babies to help with the hurt... So he chose three black sex link/ black star chicks, and the funny thing is he named one of them "sabbath" As in black sabbath the band who at...

Sorry to all with questions... I am not the quickest at getting back to check. Apologies. Anyway I will address the questions now so youre not hanging too long I hope. First, Yes the dog did indeed pull poor "Waffles" through the hole where she was consumed mostly by her and our wolfhound...

Thanks guys for the advice. I am still frustrated as heck this morning, but I do feel a bit better at least. I suppose I will let the dog live... :) while trying to go to sleep last night I was thinking of lining the bottom three feet of my beautiful coop with corrugated. Roofing stuff.as the...

Sorry to hear of your loss... It really is a terrible thing to go through. We found out firsthand today how that feels. We have two dogs and both are very sweet girls. One rottwieler/shepherd cross and a wolfhound cross. The rotty cross tore a giant hole through our hardware cloth today and...

Just kind of a heads up for the coop builders. We lost a pullet today to our big mutt dog (rottwieler/shepherd x) who just couldnt help herself... We thought that she might have and be a problem with the new chickens and tried our best to build our coop STURDY. Apparently not sturdy enough...

Our draws in NM came in today, and I found that I got chosen for a cow elk hunt in northern NM... I have gone once before and ended up being harrased with drones, atvs, trucks, and a helicopter driving all of the elk onto the ranchers land as they get like @$10k for their permits they get to...

Thank you all for the tips and advice. They have weathered their first few nights out there, and seem to be liking the space they have now. However, my two rotten doggies are continually trying to breach the run to have a chicken dinner and my wolfhound cross (the smart one) managed to peel...

I have 2 BO, and 2 SS chickens now about 8 weeks old. My question as a first timer is this: They have never been inclined to use the roosting stick in the brooder, and now that they are going out for their first night I wouldn't put money on them using the nice roost in the coop either... Is...
