Mike’s Woods 09/16/2017 A.M. Into the woods at 07:37, temp of 58, a little patchy fog, clear sky, & calm. A gorgeous morning to be in the woods!! At 08:41, I saw a squirrel coming down a tree to my right & head into the undergrowth. I didn’t see it long enough to tell for sure, but I think i...

On the way back to the house from squirrel hunting, I rode down to check on the progress of the valves. The do now have the valves connected. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4391/36450512723_21634e0cd1_z_d.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4424/36450504463_6c9ba22407_z_d.jpg https://farm5.staticflic...

Aunt Evelyn’s North Place 09/15/2017 P.M. I got into the woods at 01:00 this afternoon, temp 78, calm, & high puffy white clouds. It was a beautiful day to be in the woods. At01:21, I spotted a fox to my left working along the side of the ridge before going to the top & disappearing. I hoped...

I loved hunting them in the hickory nuts when I was a teen. Probably still would, but dont have that opportunity anymore. We had both back home. I was happy to find them cutting either, but boy did they make a lot of racket in the scaly bark. There is a lot more shell to cut through to get to the n...

looks like nice woods to hunt - envy you having that opportunity that close to the house; my 'hunting' grounds are 100 miles from where I live. This part of the woods is pretty good & is also my primary turkey woods. if you go a few hundred yard west, it gets pretty thick & the east section...

Brad’s Mom’s Woods 09/14/2017 A.M. I got into the woods this morning at 07:47, temp 61, very overcast, & breezy. The air was very wet &, with the breeze, if felt cooler than 54. At 08:23, I heard 1 bouncing around in a tree behind me. I got up & started looking but it could have been doi...

My kind of beer. Nothing like a good day of hunting(anything) and having a brew afterwards. 👍🏻 I usually have a bottle of water with me but finished it during the morning hunt & forgot to get a new 1. That icy cold beer went down smooth & fast followed by another that was enjoyed at a leisu...

I'm back on track as of this morning. Thx.

While in the woods squirrel hunting today, I decided to get some pics of the different hickory nuts The 1st pic is of unhusked hickories, the left is a bitternut hickory & the right is a shellbark. The 2nd pic shows the husked nuts. The 3rd & 4th pics are a shagbark. The shellbark is the lar...

Mike’s Woods 09/13/2017 A.M. I got back to the woods this morning at 07:40, 54 breezy, & overcast. At 07:50, a coon walked through the woods in front of me. At 08:46, nuts started hitting the ground in front of me. As the wind had picked up, I didn’t pay any attention until about 09:00 when the ...

MMMMMMM .. bet the weatherman's rite today, cause' we got 1 1/2" of rain from Irma ;) You may want to take a couple of days off and let those leaves get a bit' dryer after the rain's and maybe they'll start fallin' so you can see your prey :shock: It was overcast this morning & the clouds ...

Mt thought perzactly!!!!

I received this response on another site about the orange :baffle" & the red thing. They are preparing to do the hydrotesting of the line. The thing that looks like a baffle is actually a pig that is sent down the line many times to remove debris and to help remove water after the hydrotest...

I heard yesterday that the Brandon (where I lived) & Valrico area didn't have too much damage, lot of rain & trees down, some without power but not nearly as bad as expected.

Young’s Woods 09/12/2017 A.M. I got back to the woods at 12:54, 68, clear, & sunny. I set-up the trail cam & headed to my spot. At 02:15, the wind picked up & it started getting overcast. At 03:00, I moved up to my deer stand & almost immediately, a large red showed up on the blown d...

While waiting for the pressure cooker to lose pressure & the squirrels to cool, I took a ride back to the pipeline to see what had been done since my last visit on 09/03. We’ve had several inches of rain & the trench needed to be pumped out. There is still water but it is blow the pipe &...

i'm a tramp 'em off at the tail guy when it comes to skinning - fraid that would be one you'd pull in half that way. hate when that happens. That's exactly what I though but there was still enough hide attached on both sides that all I had to di was cut a little further down than usual. I stepped o...

Grandpa Scott’s Woods 09/11/2017 A.M. I was in the woods at 07:26 this morning with a temp of 77, clear & bright sunny skies, & calm. As I was getting to the end of the lane, a total of 6 deer ran from the field on the west side of woods. 1 was a confirmed buck, maybe an 8 & I think that...

I will ask my bil,but i think they run on pressure to transfer through the pipelines. My bil is on these sites all the time. Thisis a response from another site but I am definitely interested in what your BIL can add since he's on-site. A station of that size would typically take a domestic power l...

The 1st 2 videos were taken on 09/03/2017 at about 09:38 P.M. When I started the 1st 1, I had no idea what it was but the answer became apparent pretty quickly.

What It Is??

That’s What It Is??

I drove to the pump station today, 09/10/2017, to see how far they had come since last month. They are really moving forward. This is the 1st time I have seen this many people working on a Sunday. I do have a question: My BIL noticed several days ago & I saw the same thing, there doesn’t appear ...

This is something I just threw together for fall turkey camp. 1 pound of homemade wild turkey sausage 1 large bell pepper, chopped 1 bundle of green onions with most of the green removed, chopped 6 large button mushrooms, chopped Cheddar cheese, as much as you want Eggs, as many as needed Oil, just ...

It was 47, calm, with relatively clear skies when I got into the woods this morning at 07:28. I was setting up my chair, looked towards the edge of the woods & saw 3 does walking along the outside edge along the same trail as the 3 bucks the other day. I managed to get my camera out & shot s...
