Have not hunted geese in 20+ years but have the itch. Found a remote stubble field yesterday packed with honkers, Got the OK, got all my stamps and will be sitting in a grassy ditch in an hour. No decoys or calls. Just pass shooting. Me n the old dog.
Don't you work him to hard.... and take plenty of water for him.. Oh and pound the crap out of the Sh*T birds!
Unbelievable gluttonous! I over seeded my new plot and trail plots out back. Sitting here having coffee and I hear a putt putt. Look out to a Fox running around over a dozen turkey in the plot 50 yrds away. He then sits down in the middle of them and they then chase him. Refusing to leave the plot! I yelled out the window and the fox ran away but the turkey refused. I had to grab AJ and go chase them...his prize was a turkey feather. Though they still didn't really leave they just flew up into the trees Turkey chasing Fox I've seen it all.
helicopter parents during C19 *why specifically during C19? Because prior to C19 most of these d-bags were at work and weren't standing around in front of my house making my dogs go berserk, that's why the stupid school picked right in front of my house as the block's drop off point for the local elementary school. I live in a normal subdivided neighborhood with most of the plots being .25 - .33 of an acre. (sidebar rant- why in the F is elementary school getting out at 2:30????) There are at least 12 parents standing around in front of my house smoking and joking waiting for their stupid kids. Most of their houses are within -sight of my front porch; ie less than a full block away. They don't trust these little retards to be able to walk home on their own? Or at least buddy up? These aren't kindergartners, FFS. They are all like 7-12 yo. Heck, based on how they're dressed; half the girls are more than already halfway to their first trip to Planned Parenthood. And it's not like it's an unsafe neighborhood.
My boys get out of school at 2:30, but they are in class by 7:30 am. There is a movement towards starting elementary earlier in the day and middle/high school later. Supposedly, it give parents more time to pick kids and older kids need more sleep so a later start works better for their education.
My overall point is; when I was in elementary school I would walk a minimum of 12 blocks to-from home from school; no bus. Then when I was in junior high and moved out to the country, I chose about a 1.25 mile walk home (forced my busdriver to let me off rather than go to the elementary school, wait a half hour for them to let off and then drop me at my door which would have added an hour to my overall bus ride) kids are effing 10 ply soft these days, and I ain't even that old.
Proud to report my 9 and 11 yr olds walk just shy of a mile to and from school together each day. But that is still how life works in small town KS.
I'm trying right now to arrange a ride for my youngest during hunting season. It's a 9 mile walk so I don't feel right asking her to do that everyday
We all had to walk to one central point and the bus would pick us up. That was in town. Now it's a stop at each bleeping house.
I think the bus stops here at the point of every T intersection....which is another reason to never buy a house at the south end of a T intersection.
Canning season! Yes,yes I know it is self inflicted... but what the hell! Why, why does everything have to ripen all at once? I'm so tired I can't stand it. Today I put up peaches ,cabbage,tomatoes, made 6 dozen egg bites and froze them. Picked more beans and zucchini. Which I have to shred drain and make zucchini patties to cook and freeze. Tomorrow pick and put up more peppers and at least a bushel of tomatoes no wonder I'm waking up at 3 a.m.to do laundry, wash ,dishes,fold clothes and, iron..... There done.
You can find canning supplies? Good thing we had a stock pile. Not much to be had in these parts. Daughter bought some lids on line...utter PC's of crap! 5 minutes in the hot water bath and the lids buckled up.
Yes. Problem is as soon as you check off the last item on the list you get handed the newly updated and revised list cause all the stuff at the beginning of the recently completed list is old and outdated!
