Weekend wrap up

So, I tagged out last weekend and have some venison for the freezer, I won't post pictures of that, but I will say Laura was a champ. She helped track and blood spot, and once we found the deer, she held the leg for me while I did the gutting. It's a great start for her if she is going to take to the woods next fall and try for her own deer.

More importantly, I finally had some non raccoon action on my trail cam. So far the buggers have hauled of or eaten about 200 lbs of apples, yet finally a couple days before the big 1st snow fall, these little fellas showed up.

Good to see.




Have a great week.

Weekend Snapshots

Since Laura and I are pretty much only spending weekends at the Homestead, I won't have as much to post as if I was full time, had livestock or a big garden and greenhouse. However I will try to keep updates with some pics, hunting stories and etc. So, lets begin with a few of the animals. The cottage is a fun place for the animals, but it wipes them out and they always end up in the "crashed position".







Here is Laura's "Thirty Something" birthday present, ya that's right, its a Savage .243 for deer hunting next year!

Here she is mowing the lawn while I keep the dogs entertained and her beer cold.


And me and the beginning of my little orchard.
