Well she had the kits while I was at work. I counted 7. 6 were still alive not in the nest box. I moved them to a nest box with moms fur. I don’t know if that was the right thing to do but no way they were going to survive on the cage even with straw down. I didn’t see the cardboard box comment...

I can’t get her to build a nest in the box. She takes all the hay out and builds it on the cage floor. The babies won’t have a chance if she doesn’t figure this out.

That’s what I did, I put all the hay back in the box and put the box where she made her floor nest. I really hope I don’t have frozen babies on the wire when I get home. She had a false pregnancy earlier this year and made a nest in the box. She actually was kind of mad when I took it out after...

I think I have defective rabbits. She took all the hay out of the nesting box and made a nest on the cage floor. Ugh that’s not gonna keep babies alive. I put all the hay back in the box and starts a nest in there in hopes she figures it out.

Well I put in the nesting box this evening and my doe immediately started stuffing her face with hay and started building her nest. It was a matter of just a few seconds after I shut the door she was on top of it. That’s a good sign! I bet she’s gonna be a good mother.

Glad surgery went well! Get better @promiseacres. Chinook winds are blowing in Montana and melting the snow. Roads are going to be like ice rinks this morning. I hope my kids remember how to drive on it. Worries me every winter. The rabbits are enjoying the warmer weather, so are the dogs, as am...

No I’ve thought about getting some, just didn’t think I’d use them enough. I could’ve used them yesterday

It’s really about the memories and just getting out into nature. Although wild game is a big part of our red meat, or I try to make a big part when I get lucky. We got three antelope this year so that will feed us good for the winter anyways

Tomorrow is the last day if the season I did decide to brave the snow and hiked into the mountains. It was deep and slow going. I’ll try once more in the am.

Not sure what the cabin used to be. Coulda been an old miners cabin,hunting cabin, or someone’s homestead. The property it’s on is all national forest now and has been for many many years. Yep that’s a mule deer. Or a muley as we call em. We have white tail too but they don’t come into town...

Here’s a few that I took when I went out by myself last weekend before the storm blew in.

We have 5 generations. My gramma and Grampa is a great great Grandparents. I don’t get much for pictures. My phone doesn’t like working in the cold and we’re never in service areas so usually don’t even have it on. I need to remember to take pictures

Well got snowed out of hunting this morning. The roads are just too bad getting up the mountain. So now I’m up trying to figure out what I can work on in the dark. Guess I’ll go start plowing the driveway, got another 4-6 inches since last night. The joys of winter in Montana.

Coffees on. I’m headed out to go hunting hope everyone has a great Saturday

Well tried to post the picture with explanation but the new way of posting pictures was freaking out and I could type anything. So the first picture is the only buck I’ve been able to find and as you can see he is in town. He’s actually a full time resident at the VA hospital where I do a lot of...

Still no luck on the second doe. So unfortunately I won’t have two does kindling at the same time. I hope everything goes well with the births and that she’s a good first time mom.

Yeah he might not be. He sure tries his best though the girls just won’t cooperate with him. He won’t ever go to freezer camp the family has really fallen for for him lol. He is a real sweetheart and loves attention, I really hope he can have some success but if not he will go to another home or...

Still no luck with the other doe but she’s about 3 weeks younger than the other one so I’m hoping she will be ready in a couple more weeks.

Yeah I am lol
