The big boy I had on this camera in January, and all of last year, apparently is no longer around. Had high hopes for him. Would have been a monster.
Kath and I sat by the plot last night, and saw a bear.
As we were leaving, a yote barked uphill from the plot. A few others started howling on the other side of the road.

We did. She left early today and found the traffic not to her liking.  I took the scythe and cleared some stuff for hunting blinds, etc. I did not expect to go up top, but glad I did. Porky chewed the bungee off my trail cam, and it was laying on the ground. He ruined a Python lock, I replaced it, and he was in the process of ruining the new one. There will be a thinning of the porky population, if I catch them out. Have not killed one for a couple years, but these things are becoming a real pain. One good thing tho, I put some stumplikker on a stump in 2009, which was in the middle of my one food plot. The porkies have it completely removed, and have excavated the roots. And this stump was about 3 ft in diameter! GONE! There is no way that stuff seeped down as far as they are chewing. Guess chewing out of habit. Deer have not touched it. |

Put hot pepper powder in your camera boxes and cords, nothing will chew them, just don't rub your eyes after putting them up.

Just buy chili powder at the grocery store, it will get washed in to the bark of the tree and cracks of the camera box, believe me nothing will touch them after that, and I think it covers up the human scent or salt from your hands that attracts deer and bears thats causing them to lick at the camera.

I don't have salt on my hands. I have sugar.....my wife tells me I'm so sweet, I'm made of sugar. Then she tells me it's gonna rain and I should go fishing with no need for a rain jacket. I'm wondering if this is mixed signals or what?

I have found that when a woman ask you how your coffee taste, you might have not been on your best behavior the prior day or so, also its best on these days to get your coffee at "Sheetz", just sayin. |
