EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Chaos18]

We'll probably see some, but I'll be surprised if any of them will be shooters; haven't seen any in 3 weeks of steady looking (counting xbow & black powder)

Noticed yesterday that my feeder wasn't dispersing corn like it has been. Carried  5 gal. down there, figuring the 1st 5 gal had finally run out. Discovered the wire from the motor has been pulled loose or chewed through...danged tree rats. There's now 5 gal of corn scattered around on the ground. Sure glad I haven't filled the thing to the top, like I normally do.

Are you only looking for buck?

I prefer to shoot a yearling doe.
They are the best eating and the first to die during our hard Winters.
We lose a lot of deer every winter. That's why they migrate South for the winter. But as mild as our weather has been they haven't started migrating yet.
We usually can take a doe with a bow but because of a couple hard winters the deer population is low and we can only take one buck.

It's a lot of work for not a lot of meat.
How's shed construction?
