    I have had bird feeders at my home ever since I bought my first home. We have a bird that frequents the feeders called juncos. In 28 years of bird feeding I have never seen a junco sit on the feeder, they are content to pick up dropped seed. I always kinda made fun of them with never flying up and tasting the fresh stuff. Well I have seen one here on and off there is a junco that flies to the feeder.

    I finished cutting up the aged doe i kept and trimmed the inner loin and the back strap from the ears to the hips the quarters are going to be hot dogs and bbq cheddar sticks. I made it thru skinning quartering and processing and only cut myself once.

    Good work. I should do some of that myself. I got a trail cam pic this year of 8 of them walking past my cam heading to my neighbors cornfield. I see the flashlight, did you hunt them at night? I've never hunted them before.

    Dropped off my 30 pounds of deer scraps this morning. Going to have smoked bbq cheddar sticks and hot dogs made. I love venison and I love bacon but I do not love venison bacon.

    It happened when I was cutting up the last scrap of meat making it easier for the grinder, just a knick with a sharp blade and wet skin.

    I have seven grandkids, 4-17. We spend two years getting to walk and talk, Then 13 years to get them to shut up and sit down.

    I call/decoy just about every game animal out there but this is probably about the most fun thing to call that there is! I didn't have my gopro charged for this hunt but I will be for the next ones. The third one came out of a tree den that I didn't know was there and ended up getting shot at about 7 paces. Other two were shot in the tree after I called them out. So much fun.

    I should get one of those calls. I have a couple of den trees near my shootin' house. One is within sight. Plus I could use it for coyotes also.

    Does a coon call sound like garbage can lids banging together? Lol

    Start with coon fight and then switch to distress. Up to 5 calling now. Big day planned for Friday.

    I have a neighbor that is a bears fan and a white sox fan (lowest form of sports fan ever) take my Packer flag. He has a dog frank that is a mastiff pitbull mix, Frank loves to come see our chihuahua, Sunday after the game when Frank comes to visit he will go home wearing a Packer jersey.

    You should put a GoPro on him to record the owners reaction.
