Post Thanksgiving Hunt + Crafting 2018

source site We came down Friday to hunt and had absolutely no luck, saw maybe one or two does, and everybody was waiting for a buck.  Here are a few shots of the hunters Patrick & Michael.

Soybean Harvest Time

go to link Watching the farmer harvest the crop never gets boring for me.  Having grown up in the suburbs with little to no contact or knowledge of farming it’s all new and very interesting.  They harvested all through the day and into the night, trying to beat (which they did) the heavy rains forecast for the following days. As for the production of all the products, they have a bigger industry and production machinery like conveyor belts made with a Urethane Roller that are necessary for transporting products. For harvesting, they also use some new and Pre Owned Farming Equipment like Utility Compact Tractor to assist their day-to-day jobs. Being a farmer is not that easy as you think it is.

First Weekend Rifle Season 2018

http://www.kantamotwani.com/kpskamtcok3 A nice weekend with my older brother Mark and Patty for opening day Saturday.  Started off pretty exciting on Friday with a 6 pointer passing directly below my stand.  Decided to hold off taking it as it wasn’t in-season quite yet.  Made a nice video of the whole thing though.

source Saturday and Sunday were exciting, I took a total of three shots, two at 200 yds and one at 100yds and missed!!  Obviously I need a lot more practice.  Here are a few pictures I took, it was quite chilly in the morning.

Maniacs Were Here!

https://nycfoodguy.com/2024/01/31/e8q4vfv1 My relatives from Maine came down to visit so we took them to the farm Saturday for an overnight.  Visiting were my Aunt MaryDonna, John, and my Aunt Jerry, sure was nice to see them all.  We visited a few Civil War attractions on the way down;  the Graffiti House, and the Wilderness battlefield.  Sort of gave a little character to the surrounding area.

Long Overdue Driveway Overhaul

https://comercialfuentes.com/3wpy4ke5 Have had quite a few problems with the driveway getting washed out this year.  Much of it due to the much higher than normal rainfall but also that the ditches on the long driveway really were in need of work.  I typically ask Bob the Farmer what he would do and who he would recommend and he pointed me to Brandon, owner of BZ Excavating, a local firm.  It was actually a lot more work than I originally had thought having never dealt with anything like this before.  They ended up putting in 3 new culverts and replacing two older culverts with a large 30 inch culvert that is 30 ft long instead of the normal 20 ft.  I couldn’t be happier with the result.  Right after they finished we received at least 2-3 weeks where each week had significant rainfall, some of it in the form of deluges.  Never had any wash outs, and the new ditches look and are working incredibly well.  Below are a few shots of the project.  I highly recommend Brandon, no non-sense kind of guy and very straightforward.
