The full body wag!

Processing the meat today rocking out to Brian Jonestown Massacre. I cut up the front legs for grind and had to turn on the walk in cooler as its getting borderline warm over the next several days. Deer needs to be split to fit in the cooler nicely. #hunting #huntstr.

Gm. But also similar.

Morning Adam!

Tons of jays this fall!

Gm. I wanted to listen to that one

Never stop doing what you love! Can't wait to see what you do. You are now in full control of your time 💪

Thx Dark. It will be.

Yes many dogs are totally capable of that. Its a bit different with a trained dog that knows exactly what they are doing and will detect and track aged tracks for long distances. If you want to know more I would check out john jeanenney. He's dead now but he has blog called born to track and good book on the topic. You may be able to find some podcasts or interviews with him.

Its a long process but you start with the dog searching for treats along a track that u lay out. Eventually you switch to dragging liver, hides, blood and deer hooves. Then you start aging the tracks, starting with a few hours and working up to 24 hrs or more. Lots of practise

Got a little buck tonight. I let Pip track it. But it did not go far. #hunting

King of sparrows = towhee. Drink yer tea!!!

Just chickens. Lots of wild birds here. I keep the feeders full. I havent really "tamed" any. But it would be fun to hand feed chickadees

No birding 20 years

Oh the joy and disappointment. Beautiful cold morning. I saw my first cruising buck. At least 8 points. He was going around me heading north into the wind but didn't scent me. I gave a soft grunt on my call and he turned around came right in. I shot at 20 yards but completely missed. Low I think. I honestly don't know how. I know deer instinctively drop a bit when you shoot. But this should've help me, as I tend aim lower. Anyway, he jumped a little outta sight and stood there confused. Not sure what happened and eventually walked off. I waited about 40 mins and went to check my arrow. Stuck about 8 inches in the ground. No blood, fat, hair or anything at the site. I scoured the area to make sure but it looks like a complete miss. Which is way better than a wounded deer. I got home and check my aim with several target shots on the bow. All good. Stay tuned. My luck is going change.

I had a Carolina wren fly in the garage last week.

Sorry to hear this Cindy. I lost someone close last week. Cherish the time you have with everyone around you.

Gm. It just keeps getting better. Doesn't it?

If only I could trade you some clay for my coarse sand

I wonder if we didn't interbreed them to extinction... They say the brain is the biggest sex organ.
