Chickflick, mice and other rodents will gnaw up shed antlers for the salt and minerals in them, so if you want them intact you might want to get them now.

Not to mention lots of shed collectors out looking for them wouldn't pass them up!


If cutting the rack off grosses you out.. take a trash bag and put it over the head, then cut it completely off at the neck. I've tossed heads on my shed roof to bleach in the sun before.

It certainly has been a mild winter. My pond is completely clear of ice, in fact, it never iced over completely at all.

Yay! Post 100 to RaZ and Farmerboy16!!

I've been watching the swans and geese land on my pond. They come in on partial ice and just as they think they made a smooth landing - wham - them fall through the ice! Like watching bowling pins fall.

OK who was it that said watch out for the lake effect this AM? I think you jinxed us. Just put a cake in the oven, recipe from here, forgot who? Looked out the window and all this white stuff is falling from the sky

I was out potting seeds earlier and heard the Sand Hill Cranes. ....they are back

definitely a good sign of spring...then this white stuff, TAKE IT BACK my chokes all went into the coop, they don't want to see it either

Hee, hee! Yesterday the goosers were able to get into their wading pool and splash around a little. I looked at them and thought, they look a little bit too high in there, and kinda unsteady. When I got closer, they were slipping and sliding on a thick slab of ice but their weight had sunk the slab low enough so a little water seeped over it and they could splash and bathe themselves, but the slab kept shifting under their movements. Pretty funny to watch. But they seemed very happy to have some water in liquid form in the pool again.

I live near Harrison in the middle of nowhere, 1/2 back in the woods off of the road.
