Just found a very good YouTube clip. The End Of The Cattle Drive-Jerry Skinner. Most interesting, and some of the comments below were good reading.

We dug the tater onions today. I think we’re set, lol4BC3319D-CAEA-4063-A488-454366A5832A.jpeg1BE342EC-9655-419F-B718-95DF00CD4802.jpeg

Colonel - those tater onions look good. I had to look up tater onion. As I understand it, the tater onions reproduce by making a bunch of secondary bulbs which you can then replant. Sounds like a good way to grow onions. I grow a few onions in a little bed, but it would be nice to have a variety that makes bulbs to replant. I have not had a lot of luck with replanting the root end of an onion.

Yes sir, that’s how it happens. The old rule of thumb was plant them the first of November and dig them the first of June. You want to grow twice as many as you need. The big ones when planted will produce 6 or more small “sets” and the little sets will produce two or so big onions. So if you plan half and half you’re good.

The big ones are good raw or cooked. But the little sets you don’t need to replant are perfect to just throw in roasts etc, like little pearl onions.

In the spring you can also go out and pull some to eat as green onions.

Nice critter pictures guys.

Does outdoor cooking qualify for the Outdoorsman thread? My brother and his wife raised chickens and had them butchered recently, so I decided to fry a whole one up in the turkey cooker with some wings. 6 lb bird cooked at 325° for 30 minutes, did the wings for 15 minutes. Dry rubbed the chicken and wings prior to frying, turned out deliciously perfect. Crispy skin and moist on the inside.

Awesome! Looks real good. Those turkey fryers are wonderful. They do real good catfish and shrimp boil too!

[Colonel26]

Wonderful pics John!!

Will do, cudgee.


They do a mean Low Country Boil too, Colonel, and since it's just boiling water I'm not on edge.

Nice pictures JMH. Fire towers use to be pretty common. Rare to find one still standing now a days. Have lot of memories of climbing them. Bear sightings are getting to be a regular thing around here Quick Steel. Hunting with dogs is most popular way. Only certain dog breeds are allowed.

Anyone else seeing a lot of snakes this year? My friend / neighbor has killed 4 copperheads this month. My dog was bitten by a copperhead Sunday night (he is fine now). I have been searching the backyard with a spotlight every evening since Sunday, and saw a 5 ft rattler last night (he got into the bushes before I could get him) and killed a copperhead last night and again tonight. Also had saw two rat snakes in the last week, but let them go.
