Quit bitching.....
My deer ate a bit more than yours, just sayin...
Second basket, other end of field.
They gonna be fat deer when it's time for them to be groceries.
There were 72 of them eating in the 60 acre field, on 40 planted acres, two nights ago.
@Geno C.
I plant it just for them to eat. Last year was 38" row spacing, bag to acre, 40 bags, never got over 6" tall.
This year 60 bags, drilled, and caught the rains just right, they arent gonna be hungry, the survivors are 12 to 16" tall right now.

My first evening of deer hunting in WI when I first moved here in 2000, I worked for a dairy farm. The farmer was happy to let me hunt the farm and said shoot as many does as I wanted since he had a pile of crop damage tags. At that time, they gave 3 doe tags for every buck tag. That first evening, I grabbed a handful of 300win and stuffed them in my pocket. Didn’t think much of it. Got up in this nosebleed stand 30+ feet in the air overlooking a 30 and a 40 of alfalfa. Got to be about dusk, a little heard came out. Then another. I picked the farthest one and shot. The rest ran a bit and stopped so I shot another. This went on again and again until I was out of ammo!!! 13 deer laid in the field and I had to call in backup to haul them all out ? I’ll never forget that night
Who doesn't?
In this society, it's a brilliant investment. If you've ever dealt with an insurance claim, you'll run one.....all the time.
yes, and I actually just got a new one. Just haven't installed it yet bd it's Hell's front porch here at the moment.
I whacked a monster the other day from the porch.
I got one today. My muscrats are getting bold now also. So maybe this evening will be bountiful. I already pulled out the vudoo with trijicon thermal also for the evening.
Pic of the Vudoo for fapping please.....
Ok, that made me laugh so here you go.
Here you go LOL... this one stays set up as thermal. My 2500 xr is for daytime pond management. And another vudoo for whatever the mood is.

And you dropped his/her blood pressure to zero right?
He wouldn't do that. They are protected.
I've got pumpkins in my bushes. Those things can really climb!
So did that thing on the other thread. Hers must have been a suicidal pumpkin though
Hardware store hidden treasures.
Was wandering through the local small town hardware store looking for same packing tape. Went down a aisle that dead ended, and as I turned around these were spotted hidden on a low shelf among some other items. Each box was open with a hand written sale price. After a quick examination they, along with two rolls of tape, made it to the cash register. One of the owners said they'd had them for years. When asked if they had any more Starrett items he said no.
Just finished testing with check gages and a machinist square. Dead nuts on. Retail as marked, $199. My cost, $80. Not bad says I.
Some day when the kids clean out my junk, they are going to shake their heads. Does anybody really need that many micrometers?

Yesterday started with me replacing a bearing on the scrambler. Operator told me with was making a bit of a noise at the end of Saturday. I gave it a bath in gear lube to make the last hour.
Yesterday ended with tear down. In the trailer by 2am so I’ve had worse and I’ve had better
Just chillin in the AC like a big dog.
I had to have the lid for my tool cart at work warrentied. Asked the dealer what to do with the old lid. He said toss it, so I took it home and add it to the reloading bench.
Didn’t use the whole lid, just peeled the stainless off the top.

What a coincidence! I was going to make the same offer for the bottom left!
T’s Technical Institute was in session this morning, “Brakes and Bearings 101”. Ty’s POS ol’ Dodge truck was in need of brakes. He helped/observed with the left front, and did the majority of the right on his own under my watchful eye. I’m probably not the best instructor but I try.
By far the oldest vehicle in our fleet, it was also a lesson for him in rust, corrosion, etc...filthy, dirty SOB.

Good lesson.
Got several like that from my dad. Still use the knowledge gained regularly.

Get that boy a proper bearing packer! ?
It’s better they learn on the rusty hard ones. That way the shiny new ones are a walk in the park. 9 times out of 10, I have to replace the calipers too on these rust belt trucks.

I told him they make a tool that’ll pack the bearing for ya’ but I don’t have one ?
I bet you do and it's conveniently packed away.
I teach during the hottest part of the day so they will have some appreciation for folks that do hard shit for a living.
I hate any work during that time but I get a kick out of watching the kids suffer...
I'm old and broken down, they are just indoor A/C soft.
I had a 16 year old kid come help me shovel out 15y of stone and spread and seed 12y of topsoil with shovels and wheelbarrows on Saturday when the heat index was 103F. I asked his Dad before we left if I should break him or bring him home tired.?
I say put them on the razors edge and see what they are made of.
I got a 13yr old outside at the courts playing basketball.
It's nice today.
His 15yr old (Marine wannabe) brother is watching Caddyshack.
I took both boys scalloping on Friday.
We left the house at 0630 and drove for two hours.
Returned home by 1630 and both boys had a total of at least three hours of sleep in the truck.
Both were in bed before 9pm.
Lightweights...
Had to run home and do some stuff on tools that I don’t keep with me on the road. Managed a little dinner at a supper club with Jamie and buzz. Then home to get to work. The silence of the house is like a gift from God.?
On a serious note. Gonna be a helluva Berry Season. That's a win, win. Berry food for us, and Berry food for da Bears. Buddy just got his back the other day from last year. It's a "Cheesy Set Up", but it's a Pole Building we call "Elk Camp" and 3 of us share it. We hang stuff in there we ain't got room to hang at home.
7 Footer. That ain't a bad Bear for up here. Buddy needs to get the skull scored. Got no doubt it'll make the Book. 448 yrds I believe, he said he held for 450 with his 300WM with the 210gr Bergers I loaded up for him. We had a great load for his Thompson, but it ended up with some issues, so he picked up a bit older R700 Sendero. Damn thing shoots pretty good so far. Anyhow, he thumped it.
I'm the Banana for reference. No smart ass comments! ?

My view today came very close to early retirement, in a meeting today with the most senior leadership team members of my organisation I quoted Douglas Bader:
"Rules are made for the guidance of the wise, and the blind obedience of fools....."
