A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

I never seem to shoot them or they dive and I never find them

I think they take a lot of shooting. DH took some once that were making an awful mess, but if I remember he used a .22. They didn’t die right away. He had to come back for a higher caliber to finish the job. Poor beavers. He was pretty shook over that one.
 
LOL! Pebbles looks all business like! Totally on mom duty. What a good girl.

I'm starting to feel like I'm the only one who hasn't eaten a beaver! New horizons in adventure eating. That's what my friends call a dinner party at my house....adventure eating. I'm hapless.

I haven't had Beaver either so you're not alone
 
Yeah...not sure it's on my list of things to try. Taking it one step at a time....starting with Guinea. Dad hunted....have had the usual....squirrel, deer, rabbit. various birds. He was a big coon hunter...but don't ever remember eating one.

RAIN!! Even my poor hens gave up and sought refuge in the dry depths of their coop. May go down into the 30's tonight. So I'm glad they didn't go bed soaked.

It got all the way up to 31°F here today but it is already back down to 25°F. It was sunny and calm long enough for me to walk to the mailbox (1 mile round trip). Almost immediately after getting back, the wind picked up.

They have had the wind turbines shut down for approximately the last 3 weeks. They turned at least 3 of them back on today.
 
Very nice day today, but we went to town. I was able to add three geese to my gander order, so little Mr Gander will have his harem and should hopefully not take any urges out on my hens.

Went to the local hothouse and was told (once again) that no, there are as yet no apple cultivars that will bear fruit where I live. :hit It’s probably late in the game for me to be planting apple trees anyway. Oh well. Eggs and meat are a more viable food source and as an added bonus, will mature in my lifetime. They don’t taste much like apples, though. Maybe I’ll console myself by getting some :bun:bun:bun to go with my chickens and put them all up in a little hoophouse next winter.

If there are apple trees that will bear fruit where I live, I would expect them to also work where you live. Check out Grandpa's Orchard. I have Honeycrisp and Wolf River. There have been a number of trees that I lost due to early thaws followed by bad freezes but the Wolf River just keeps on growing. It isn't old enough to produce yet but I am starting to get a few Honeycrisp apples. I have a Spartan that froze back and is just now recovering that prior to the freeze produced very well.

Even if you don't buy from Grandpa's Orchard, it is a very good source of information about fruit trees.

If you can find any at a reasonable cost, plant Evans Bali cherry trees aka Evans or Bali. They are a natural dwarf and are precocious meaning they will bear fruit at an early age. They definitely can survive in your growing zone.
