Life on the Farm
chamookman:
Glad to hear things went well with the Crops - looks like alot of rain coming. Hope it doesn't mess up getting the Beets out of the ground All the Corn around here is gone - the Deer are really moving. Bruces Son Brent got His second Deer with a Selfbow - fat 4pt. The Rut is going good. (=) Bob.

Ours here really suck, not sure if they will wast time and fuel to pick the beans, don’t know what happened but they are bad. Good luck with the hunting, got Eddie and Florida buddies come in late week so should be fun. Pappy

Our personal crops were so far very good, but generally they are all over the place. Some good and some very poor. We might have done something right, but it never hurts to get lucky .
The soybean prices are really poor. Hope your farmer can get by. Poor crops and poor prices are a poor combination.

PS tell Eddie hello for me

Congrats to Bruce’s son. That’s pretty awesome. They are definitely a good hunting family from top to bottom. Miss them all.
Yes we had .8” the other day. Going to get more today and sounds like at least the first three days of next week.
It seems like it always averages out so I’m thinking it’s going to start raining and not stop. Time will tell.
I’m hoping to dig beets again tomorrow morning.

Morning, BJ. Haven't caught up on goings on in Michigan for a while. Glad the farming is going well, and I hope you can get your beets in then put a few deer in the freezer. How many deer can you take out there? If we ever pull the trigger and move out that way I would really miss elk hunting, but the prospect of harvesting multiple animals over a drawn-out season does have its appeal. Around here, you get one kill from each species, assuming you've been lucky enough to draw decent tags, and you're done.
Beet harvest is all over around here, but I bet they had to really rush it. It went from highs in the 80s to lows below freezing in just a few days.

I think you would like it here WB. It’s a really nice state with lots of different environments. I’m not even sure how many animals you can take. I tend to eat more tag soup than I would like, but it’s because of how I hunt and my busy work schedule. I know we are allowed 2 bucks, but one must have at least 4 points on one side. Also doe tags and I really don’t know what the limits are for them.
We have bear, coyotes and fox. Deer and turkeys. We have geese and ducks. We have good fishing and trapping. And if you want to plenty of ground hogs to sharpen up your shooting skills all summer.
It really is the place for me. And I especially like the area I live in. It’s not touristy and I’m not sure why, but that’s fine by me. If you prefer touristy places there are plenty of those to.
If you ever move out here please let me know.
