It's low key, but we enjoy it. We've camped back here for years. I'll try to remember to take a picture tomorrow. We're 250 yards from the house, so it's pretty convenient. 🤣

We're "camping" in the back 40 this weekend, first time this year. 😒 Guess I need some daytime pics. 🤣

Feral pig was my first thought as well.

Thanks! It's a 7' x 7'

My run is covered in ½" hardware cloth, and the door from the run into the coop is never closed.

Sounds like (not) a blast! We have 12 acres and none of the neighbors mind me shooting. Even hypersonic .22 is very quiet. One summer I did a lot of testing with a 25/06. Well over 1,000 rounds! 🤣 This is what I have for .22's. When I shoot centre fire, or pattern a shotgun, I take the 3...

Turkeys are done for me. Settled for a jake. He came in to the call so nice I couldn't resist. 😁 Mowing season is here (and other outdoor work), so I guess it's good that I'm done in that way. Now, I just have to learn to sleep past 4:30. 🤣

Here's a brief update after a couple of years. I've been super happy with the coop and run. Until recently, our chickens free ranged all day. Our only close neighbor loved them and encouraged them to come visit, that is, until they got into her garden. After a couple of terse emails I decided...

Wow, I'm exhausted from reading what you've done in the past month! Way to go!

Good luck! Lousy weather here too. I'm still deciding if I'll go out. Usually my internal alarm decides for me.

I didn't know you moved! Congratulations!!

Have you ever been walking across a plowed field and come upon a flat chunk of rock and thought, "I wonder if I could make a turkey call out of that?" Well... I have... 🤦‍♀️ It works.... ok. Ideally it would be louder, and maybe a slightly lower pitch, but I'm gonna try it anyway.

Exactly. Here you can only shoot a bird with a beard. His looked more like a 12 yr old boy's dirt-stache. 🤣

Called this young fella from a ridge top 250 yds away and convinced him to fly across the river, then decided to let him walk. I can be a nice guy sometimes. 🤣

For the opening day of turkey season I went to a semi-new place I used to call coyotes at a few years ago. The morning had several toms gobbling on the roost, and at least one came very close, but stayed in the trees rather than coming into the field I was set up in. After they wandered off I...
