Surviving Minnesota!

Morning everyone! Yesterday was beautiful except for the wind that never stopped.

This guy was a monster. Biggest beaver any of us have ever seen. We went to our friends grandparents house to show them and he said it’s the biggest he has ever seen...

These guys absolutely destroy... Thhey are beautiful but they really damage bank lines on the creek and they build dams that flood the hay field...

We haven't had any problems this month with them, hopefully we have killed off the population here. How long was it from head to tail?

We had the smoker out today as well.. Smoked ribs and had medallion steaks for lunch.. The ribs were for supper and we had a few people over...


My brother and I went over to a friends place and shot a huge beaver... Then while at my grandpas I went to kill a “rat” and ended up getting chased all over by a fricken Muskrat.. I literally had to kill it in self defense... It was chasing me all over and I couldn’t get away from the thing.... (this is a different grandpas farm than the one most of you have been at. It’s alot more open)

They are vicious little critters. A friend of ours was pheasant hunting once - walking through the cattails on the edge of a slough - when one attacked him. It attached itself right to the front of his vest!

Put together a run for chicks and Cochins this morning. They are loving it!

This is the friendliest Cochin so far, really nice looking so far too!

Got my YQCA training done today, and I am possibly being drug to Quiz Bowl on May 5

Sometimes dad would have musk rats build nests in the spear houses. Always an interesting ice fish opening the spear house door when they did. Or being seated when one came back ‘home’.
