Any time. Happy to share

I did some culling last Fall and again abt a month ago. It is hard to do.

CT getting big. Coming up on 9 weeks old.

@FurryFiasco, I grew up in rural Indiana, the son of a farmer. I left all the farming behind when I went to study Conservation Law Enforcement at Vincennes University the Fall of 1993. After abt a decade of dabbling in law enforcement and security work, my bad back finally made it clear to...

Weighing in late, but try to find a local farmer that does "squares" and not just round bales. Here in IN, a rectangle bale of alfalfa is generally 50-75lbs. Green is good when dry. It goes for $6-$10/bale on the average. Anything from a feed store is marked up. I use grass hay (tomothy...

Thanks Joe. Since I use others more often, I am hoping they will have no problems splitting them up. There are more than enough to go around. Haha

I do live in the flyway for a lot of North American waterfowl, but was never too much into duck hunting, etc. I have seen it take down a Mallard drake once, a long time ago. That's another story. I prefer to use it for rabbit and squirrel. Now, I would be interested in pheasant or ground fowl...

Going to the gunsmith today to reassemble the receiver on the Savage model 24, Over and Under .22cal/.410gua. Once that's done, I will reassemble the rest AND BE DONE! Wooho Here's what it looks like laid out in parts, but how it will look when done. I am pretty proud of/pleased with it...

I probably saw this too late by now, but I have gotten my wife to help while I hold the doe and Jill holds the kit to the teats to try to get it to latch on. If it has the strength and does nurse, one good time of it might be enough to let it fend for itself. You may need to do this process a...

And I never thought they tasted like nuts or grapes!

I remember the fad popping up in the 80's of picking the dandelion blooms and rinsing them real well, soaking in salt water, and battering like you would a morrel. Pan fried dandelion blooms taste like delicious batter, and well.... dandelion. Lol We decided we would stick with morrels. It was...

Exactly! And my math was wrong or fingers too thick. It was supposed to say 3 out of 4 of us loved it. My 4 yr old won't eat much other than cheddar flavored chex mix, eggs, chicken nuggets, rabbit-chicken meat (which is battered rabbit backstrap chunks), peanut butter, garlic bread, and other...

Well, I made dinner off Pinterest tonight. Shrimp Boil in foil in the oven. I asked Mom if we were part Cajun, because it was awesome! Red skin potatos, shrimp, sausage chunks, corn on the cob chopped in thirds and split in half, butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and seasoning. 3 out of 3...

Been pretty busy last two weeks on cleaning out drop pans, butchering a half dozen roaster size rabbits and even reconfiguring my cages. Two doe pens sitting next to smaller 24"×24" were attached and turned into doe condos with a pass-through between them. I mowed around my hayfield and knocked...

Hope you didn't release. Drown it til the bubbles stop. Idk, they are great for taking care of ticks or as scavengers of dead stuff. So, take your pick. Haha

Better go with broiled beef liver GB! Also, this time of year dandelion leaves are high in Vit A and Iron much more than even spinach! Better steep you some leaves for tea.

The doe I had that would have small litters would foster another doe's kits when she had 8 or 10. It evened the nursing potential and the doe was a good foster mother. Back in the day, my Mom said she had one doe that was a good foster mother, and that was rare in her opinion. But, my does all...

@Bunnylady is a great one to ask genetics questions. I culled a doe the other day that had 10 kits first kindle, then 5 or 6 live kits each time after til she was down to abt 4. Most of mine have a 25% or higher mortality rate.

I would like to ask for prayer for that family in Washington state that just lost their 3 year old son to a horrific lawn mower accident. The boy was riding with Dad on the mower, just as most of us did and probably rode our kids when our turn came. Somehow the boy fell off and was run over...

We had a built in snow makeup day we didn't need to use today, so the kids (and parents) got an early extended weekend. They let me sleep til 9am which is unheard of. On Saturdays sometimes I get to sleep til 8am. Week days up at 6am and even Sunday starts at 7am for me. But, after getting up...
