☆☆☆Fresher Starts. Moving More☆☆☆

[sealer39]

Yes I got settled in about 15minutes before legal light but it’s a chilly dreary day so we doubt we will have any luck

Try to stay up as long as you can. The deer may move a little later than normal. Good luck!

There's a woman around here who advertises that she teaches how to process/kill chickens. She charges $80/hour.

Are you kidding me? I guess everyone doesn't have an uncle/mom who grew up butchering chickens though...still that is expensive!!! I did a couple a few weeks ago...we gave one (well mom did she is always giving away stuff) to an elderly lady and the other one still needs ate. Chicken and dumplings.

Fresh guinea or turkey eggs are even better for baking.

I bet! Right now the closest I've got to that is duck eggs now that Hepzibeth has started laying again

Those will work too.

This is the last thing my brother over in Mobile Bay needs to deal with now. I hope it goes anywhere but there. It will be named Zeta.

Fortunately for you, the deer don't feel the same about the weather as you do.

I keep hoping that’s true but we’ve never had much luck on overcast dreary days (one exception was when I threw a fit to hunt rifle season in hurricane force winds and mr muddy got a small doe as we were walking out)

I charge 2 a dz. Have never had a problem YET. but then again its mostly people I know or Stephen knows that want them.
One of my friends says she can tell the difference. I cant in taste but I can in other ways. I also give away my baby eggs as free gifts to those who buy big eggs, so I try to keep it as fair as possible. If someone comes to our house they walk out with a free dz lol.

We will probably stay here until 10:30-11 like usual and we still need to go to other property for afternoon to check our trail, stands, etc. we haven’t been there since last season

@Kiki Just different cultures, I guess there is no right or wrong. I am like you, I give away knowledge and hope it is passed forward. Maybe some people just need to find a way to make a living. IDK

I dont think they should charge $80, but there are people on YouTube who do the same thing in front of millions of viewers and get paid to do it, so... hmmm...wonder if I could.

When I was much younger I knew we had chickens. We had lots of “chicken” soup, stew, etc. It wasnt until I I was in my late teens that I even found out we also had rabbits and most of said chicken was actually rabbit.
As a teen I lived with my other grandparents and they’re the ones that would just do stuff while I was at school. I was allowed to do 4h for a year, but not allowed to have an animal. Idk y. So, whereas I’ve been around it my entire live, I’ve never participated or had any type of knowledge passed onto me. Extremely sad! Teach the next generation people! It is worth your while. (This comment isn't directed at the earlier conversation, just a frustrated vent about passing along knowledge in general)
