    When tilling one of my food plots a couple months ago I ran into some rocks that were rather bothersome. So today I decided to go up there and try to remove them. "Up there", meaning on the top of my hill. Some of the locals that have seen my place think that I'm nuts for climbing that hill with a 4-wheeler much less a tractor. But I have some pretty big stones and I needed to get those rocks out of there!! :evilgrin:

    Going up.

    The rocks. For comparison, my grapple is 48" wide.

    Don't worry, the GF makes good use of those rocks and probably has something planed for them. Here's some of her work.

    You know, you're right. I've been accused of never relaxing. However, ripping things out or pushing things over is great fun to me and quite the stress reliever!
