    Bears...

    Heavy guage low impedance electric is the only thing we have found to keep bears back. No the generally eat them whole, I would guess that you have some feathered friends hiding out some place. It's almost Easter so instead of an egg hunt have your family and friend go on a hen hunt. For us...

    How do YOU process your meat?

    Once a killer always one? Is this true??

Everywhere the dogs goes that bird will be, it can't get away from it. Two, we got ahold from a neighbor or local farmer an older tom turkey...
