Outdoorsman Thread
Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Today the power company contractors were out trimming trees and Valerie stopped them and asked them if they’d dump us a load of wood chips. They did too, a great big ol load and promised more. The boys (12,10, and 7) filled the back end of the Tacoma up with chips and we drove them down to the chicken coop. In the spring this will be some of the best compost ever you did see.
I’m gonna get the dog an application for the state road crew.

Wade the dog's a natural for sure. Looks to me like a couple of those boys have the shovel lean down pat as well.

I saw this on the big rock I use for a stoop in front of my shop porch. I’ve never seen this in my life. Yellowjackets eating a snail!

I have never seen yellowjackets eating a snail either, Colonel. Seems like they are worst in the autumn - I just put a trap by my back porch this week: had not seen one for months until now.
Dogg - those are some cool photos - I especially liked the last one. Is that a 20 gauge he is carrying? A 20 gauge was the first gun that I hunted with.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Gdogg, that's great! Keep us posted and show us when he gets Bambi!
Wade, we have trouble with Yellow Jackets when we dress a deer. If the weather allows us to hang one out side with a fly bag, they just wrap the bag up and then when breaking the carcass down they are usually all over the deer. Never been bit while working on a deer but I've made up for it doing other things.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Yellow jackets and other wasps are beneficial. They kill all manner of caterpillars, worms and other insects including black widow spiders. If you have webworms in trees, simply use a long poke to tear open their web. Wasps will clean them out. As long wasps of any kind don't nest close to doors of the house or outbuildings, I leave them alone. Had a nest on the porch above the back door of my house all summer (10 foot porch ceiling). We came and went all summer without the wasps ever paying any outward attention to us. Never been stung by one unless I was bothering their nest or accidentally put my hand directly on one. If they're out foraging away from their nest you're the last thing they're interested in, unless your wearing some kind of perfume. Same with bees.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
What an awesome day Dogg!
Guys I typed snail, but I ought to have said slug. I don’t know what I was thinking. I’ve seen several yellow jackets around here, and hornets too. There’s got to be a good nest somewhere close by.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
What do y'all think about these nasty suckers? Three in a row, one right behind the other!
Early this morning here is a female, I think, marking her territory. There were 20 pictures of her in the last picture, our Aussiedor is checking the spot. After I pulled the card, she also marked the spot.
This is what we want to see, the little ones are vulnerable this time of the year.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
TF, one of those coyotes ran across the road in front me me going to work this morning. Sure wish I could have got a shot at him.
Yesterday afternoon cleaning up at the old house (getting ready to sell) it came a little shower and we saw this double rainbow.
Then when we got home, two big ol bald eagles flew over the house real low. Didn’t have time to get a picture of that.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
My longtime friend and regular hunting buddy Billy shot this doe yesterday. I helped him clean it; we both used Buck 118 fixed blades. (Yeah, I've influenced him on knife selection!). OH
Ps. A bit of last seasons venison burger being browned to make up a pot of deer chili.

I don’t know if this is outdoorsman worthy or not, but these came to live on the homestead today.
