I talked to a guy last night who went Thursday. He didn’t mention shad but said the crappie are moving deeper. They were 18’ deep. So just guessing but the shad must be moving out also.

I used to have a neighbor who’s 200 acres joined one of our farms. He had one covey and we shared one. I would hunt them a couple of times each year. One day we were talking about the quail and he said that there used to be 10 coveys on just his farm. He wondered what had changed. We talked about how the land had been used and the fences. He said it had been a dairy farm. He had fields of Lespedeza, milo, corn and alfalfa. His fence rows were grown up. Now it had been changed to beef production with clean barbed wire fence rows and fescue pastures. He went from a lot of food and cover to no food and one brushy draw.

Birds eat the berries in my asparagus then poop in the neighbors’ landscaping. They have no idea what the green ferny stuff is that they have growing.

They should have done it last year at least. I for sure won’t miss Rogers.

After all the green is gone is cutting time. Until then nutrients are being provided to the roots for next year’s spears. I usually wait until late December or later.

She’s going on 7 and hasn’t missed a lick.

I used to put compost on my garden with my Newer spreader. But now just on the yard.

I don’t know how they could be quieter. At idle I have to look for the water stream to see if my Verado is running.

When I had a big garden, I tilled it in the fall when everything was done one. Then I would do it again in the late winter after the ground thawed.

You should see them eat at a restaurant when I am picking up the tab.

There are 8 in their family.

My grandson got a good one with a bow before rifle season. He got another one opening morning and my granddaughter got one this morning.

They list them as do Northern Tools and Bass Pro but no one has any. That’s why I am looking for someone who has one.

It keeps taking more clothes for me these days. I’m kicking around the idea of a heated vest. Do any of you guys have one or know anything about them?

Victoria’s Secret by JAX. It is a hoot.

Good luck. My thermometer says 19° right now.

That is the most sensible thing I have heard from you.

We have none here. It has been several years since deer season opened with snow.

Nice Looking smallie and big old eye. Congrats on a good day.

I fully enjoyed the day with you. It was good company and I rarely get to that part of the lake. I haven’t been there for several years and didn’t remember it being as wide as it is. Thanks again for a good day on the water. Had I been by myself instead of with a great guy full of local knowledge I probably wouldn’t have been able to catch anything.

He caped it. We used the saw to cut off the head and feet. We bone them out in the field and leave the parts for yhe yotes. He has had better with a rifle and usually does a European mount but since it was with a bow he is having it mounted.

We use a saws all with my itty bitty Harbor Freight generator out in the woods where we process them. We did this one this afternoon.

Thanks. I’ll tell him about it.

I would like to see a pic of the blower attachment. My neighbor needs one.

Those pics look great. Maine is the only state that I have never visited.
