 I don't know how you made it a month or two. No judgement! I'm always trying to have an open mind and not fall into a simple narrative. But almost all media corals ppl into  one

 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.  https://image.nostr.build/930db40548ebb43e9d2c2a5e744f63153cedc9e2bad94a2b012a68df8ee08cbf.jpg https://image.nostr.build/4a21d4c4d4fa8b07cbc657ca91d1917e713deb45ff6057873758ed0055562f61.jpg 
 Never stop doing what you love! Can't wait to see what you do. You are now in full control of your time 💪 
 GM, this time is going to be different.  
 Gm. But also similar.  
 Got a little buck tonight. I let Pip track it. But it did not go far. #hunting https://image.nostr.build/bcfdcc1ec9e288b4c93d7977fe84975d6bb6e66f162a6404bea4049840e749fe.jpg 
 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 
 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.  
 Thx Dark. It will be.

 King of sparrows = towhee. Drink yer tea!!! 
 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.  
 No birding 20 years 
 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

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

 I wonder if we didn't interbreed them to  extinction... They say the brain is the biggest sex organ.  
 Good morning. Out deer #hunting this morning. Ever seen a foggy rainbow? Beautiful. Have a great day y'all. https://image.nostr.build/287911a3f9a8b418251317ef58aebe76de96d61bbd19c33d242adac35ebcf690.jpg 
 Nothing this morning! There should lots of cruising bucks this week though. Hoping to connect with one

 It will come back. If you have a live trap big enough, throw a dead bird in there... Get some sleep and check in the morning 
 #compost question - should my compost bin be open to the soil (i.e. opening/a on bottom)? 

Shoul... 
 Maybe I'm wrong but as long as the compost is not soaking wet, there will plenty of oxygen in it. The soil in the ground is half air by volume assuming it is not compacted. It would seem difficult cut off the oxygen to a compost pile...  
 I can not remember who's growing large scale greens in South Ontario? 
 Yeah I do lettuce and other greens. Very small scale but enough to do about 50 lbs per week peak season 
 Does anybody have experience setting up drip irrigation for small scale market gardens? Or experi... 
 Hi Ryan. I'm on sand plain soil. Never get a puddle. So watering is a pain sometimes. I use a mix of drip and overhead wobblers. I use the drip on heat loving crops and I use overhead on lettuce, radish, and other cool weather crops. I'll have to check out the pulse watering. Thx 
 Yeah. My soil is typically low on n, k, mg, s. I calculate mineral prescriptions and add accordingly. Also I make about 4 cubic yards of composted manure, mostly rabbit, to garden beds. There is a fair amount of peat mixed into the compost from spent microgreens trays 
 Does any chicken farmer or homesteader know how some of the egg yolks are bright orange like the ... 
 Yes food makes a huge difference. Corn will increase yellow intensity but also access to fresh vegetation like grass and a varied diet is likely best. Another thing I think is a big factor is the frequency of laying. This interacts with diet too. Hybrid layers produce more eggs then heritage breeds but often these eggs are less nutrient dense on average. If you think about it, it just makes plain sense. You can't have a chicken that produces huge amounts of meat and quality eggs at the same time... 
 Dead bumblebees in the end of summer into fall is normal. News flash: they all die except for newly emerged queens which hibernate and start a new colony next spring.
