Good morning. 26°F/ -3°C going up to 30°F/ -1°C. Only about 3" of snow on the ground.

Two calves born last night. Both are well.

Snuggling with them on the couch?

I just remembered that I forgot to edit a post I made a while back. I think I said I was south of I-40. What i meant to say is I-40 is just south of me.

Yankee! Lol

It is 26° but that is likely the high for the day. One is up and mobile. Momma has it at a good spot with plenty of hay to bed down in. The other hasn't moved to the hay yet. I've got the tractor plugged up waiting for it to get warm enough to start so I can roll out more hay.

We are always watching…….

I wouldn’t expect anything less.

I was raised by a violator. But don’t condone that behavior. Playing by the rules is the best policy. I enjoy hunting too much to lose my rights over something silly.

That being said, I’ll never turn a guy in for hunting out of season to feed his family in need. But I’ll be the first one to call if someone is poaching for sport or just the antlers.

“What God giveth, the DNR taketh away.”

I realize it’s a hard job to regulate game - fine line between protecting the herd and it’s numbers, and allowing the public to hunt at will.

I haven't tried a red dot on a handgun

Might have to give it a whirl

Actually I don't even shoot much anymore at all but i like running my friends range whenever the kids or anyone in the family or friends want to shoot.
I was surprised at how fast and accurate even first time shooters are with the dots.
It takes much of the guesswork out of it
I prefer iron sights on pistols but as my eyes get worse with age i like them more.
And can hit easier at distance if i still hunted i wouldn't hesitate to use a dot.

Year's ago I bought a couple of sig Romeo 5s for my ARs and pretty much quit using scopes
I couldn't tell you any difference from the budget under 100.00 dots to the premium one's they all look about the same to me
Just some are shake awake other's you hit a button some have a battery tray from the side some are underneath and you take the dot off.
I have budget sig,CT,cylee,primary arms, bushnell
And have shot holosun,trijicon,aimpoint
I'm sure they're better but i can't see paying double or triple for them.

That’s only according to the DNR…



Go out with a camera then.

They are called game wardens here.

I'd move.

Looks like we got 2.5" of snow. It looked like more last night. I guess that couple hours of sleet packed it down some. Currently 25 degrees with a high of 37 and a low of 15 tonight.

You said you are too poor to move. Which is it ?

 

[nbbt]

Good morning fellas. 12f to 23f is claimed for today, with 2"-5" of flaky moistures claimed.

 

[Lnk]

It seems we got about 5" total. Turned to sleet last night for a while, then was light flurries this morning. Chickens won't come out of their coops. So leaving them in. Goats came out to eat this morning but are back in their shelter eating and lounging. The guineas are a weird bunch, some are sort of exploring where we swept paths, but not going out to adventure. Very quiet outside, kind of nice.
