Quote: We've seen a couple of really nice bucks. One's an 8, but he'll be better next year...he's young yet. Could have shot him twice so far. Not sure what the other is, 'cause we haven't seen him close enough to count any points, but he's out past his ears.

you are a patient man my friend... But then again Bill just started hunting 4 years ago and has only got 1 9 point go hes still running off that rush

So you have to replace the entire flock on a daily basis? Doesn't that get expensive?    You sure you're fully awake yet?

I'm never fully awake before noon lol

I just can't see taking bucks that haven't reached their full potential yet. Of course these trigger-happy fools around here will pop anything that can put one foot in front of the other, so the chances of a buck reaching his full potential is somewhere between slim & none, but I'm not going to be the one to take him out. Does taste better, anyway, if all you're wanting is meat; let the nice young bucks walk & improve the genes in the herd.

@Honora
  What have you ordered?

Sweets, best thing to do is work with the seller and only ship when its not extremely cold enroute in that time frame.  It can be done, Weather permitting and with double boxing and heat packs in the outer box.  likewise in the summer with cold ice bricks

Thanks

I'm wondering coz I miight have "something" coming in the mail this week, if all goes well

Yes me and change don't go well. 20 years with the same group heck I knew all the help by name. Now I'm not even sure the doctor I picked will see me. He was recommended by a friend who has seen him and his group for 30 years. I keep hoping this will go away but it's not. Calling in the morning heck we still don't have insurance card they will have to go by a picture of the card that I pulled off line

It is raining! We need the rain so much. However, I need to get some serious work done on my chicken run! Not happening in this rain.

Hope you all have a great Sunday

Taking a break after spending the morning out in the rain doing coop cleaning chores (poop scooping and waterer rinsing) - I couldn't put it off any more, at least the rain hasn't been AS hard today.

GOOD MORNING! MY INTERNET SLEPT IN TODAY. THERE WAS NO WAKING IT!

Thanks, MC!!!!

Quote: Neat ideas, Sally!!!! Thanks for posting, gives me some more ideas as well...

My son's on the way back to WI; pulled out about an hour ago, & I miss him already. Living so far apart, we usually only get to see him once a year, although he & his wife were here in July for our 50th anniversary. We never get to see them @ Christmas; haven't since they've been together for the last 15 years or so...DIL refuses to spend Christmas away from Mommy. Of course that means her husband has to spend Christmas away from his family every year, but I guess that doesn't count. No, she's not selfish. I'm not a little bitter, either...the H--- I ain't!

Sorry for the pity party; I just needed to vent a bit.

At least I got to spend four quality days with my only son, doing what we both love; hunting deer. We saw deer every day, sometimes several, including a couple of really nice bucks. Unfortunately, if they weren't on someone else's property, we couldn't get a clean shot at them. We started calling one of them the "Oh my God buck" That was my son's reaction the first time he got a look at him through the scope. We saw him twice. Rack's not real high, but extends well out past his ears. Never got a count of the number of points; at least 8, we're thinking. Over the 4 days, we passed on so many does we could've stacked them like cord wood; all yearlings but one we saw yesterday @ 20 yards. She was on top of us before we ever saw her, staring straight at the blind; I couldn't open the window or get the rifle in position before she spooked. All part of deer hunting.

Glad you had a good visit with your son. Sorry about the Christmas thing. Things started that way with my brother, and my Mother put her foot down - now they alternate (which is reasonable, he just didn't ever speak up about it before to my SIL).

I wish Whites. I have the flu on top of everything else...

My hair even hurts..... Hope you are well and that you got a deer. Bill did not get on this yar. Not much time to hunt with his new job and me being laid up. Poor guy. He's an angel!

So sorry - hope you are better soon...

Just got back in from feeding animals. Late today. Been sick. Will see doctor tomorrow, if I can get a doctor, new insurance and new doctor began 12-1-16

Golly, it's going around. I hope you're better soon as well...

I've got bread rising in the kitchen, I'm about to make some pizza dough to rise (I made extra starter this round), then I need to head back out in the rain and get more done. (Though I hate feeling so chilled...)

Off to knead dough!
