Probably meth heads looking the place over. Theft is common in rural areas, nobody messes with us, place completely fenced with big barky dogs. LOL I would have gotten up, but not turned on any lights just to see what they were up to.

A gate at the end of the driveway would stop the random drive in.... and I agree that a game cam would be a big help. I would also put out one of those signs that you see that say protected by a .357 or better yet, something that says that it is sighted for a (whatever caliber) rifle at the gate post....Uninvited visitors will be shot.

And lamb stew.
Funny you should mention lamb... I took out a brick (or chub if you prefer) of the lamb burger earlier today. Since I wasn't sure what to expect, I did a stir fry with some mixed w/onions and mushrooms (again - what can I say... I like meat that way). Wasn't sure what the fat content would be so needed to cook some to find out. Couldn't do it by itself, so shredded some hash browns and cooked a couple of eggs and viola'
Yes, there's a slice of deli American cheese on top of the hash browns as well. I used a little bacon grease and butter. @CntryBoy777 when you use yours, it really doesn't need any additional fat. There's enough in the burger to cook with.

First time the truck down the drive has happened. I've had daytime bible thumpers on occasion, and folks looking for someplace/thing/one else, but always during broad daylight and I spoke with them. I turned the outside light on to let them know that there was someone here, and awake, and watching them. Down here in TX, they (smart criminals anyway) would HAVE to assume that I was armed and prepared, especially out here in the country. I'm sure the dogs would have deterred them as well. Mel has a rather deep serious bark. Sight unseen, or even seen... I'd think twice.

It has plenty of fat for cooking the way you did but if you are going to grill them you need a smooth surface to keep them from falling apart and through the grill or add some egg and/or some bread crumbs. I use oats when I'm making a meat loaf. :)

Tony doesn't add much fat but tries to make sure there is enough without being real greasy.

If you advertise that you have a gun, thieves will break in to steal your guns. If you ain't home, you ain't there to shoot that 357! :lol: Keep a low profile...…….
