Some very sad news for sure!

Mother Nature at Work

The other night my dog was going nuts and was just dying to cross her containment collar shock border! I went out to see what was going on….it was about 5:30 on a nice calm but rather hot evening. The 2 coyotes saw me long before I saw them. I just thought that they were […]

So we’re riding along on our four-wheeler and Kevin says, “Man! Did you see that turtle we just ran over?” As we were looking for deer sign along the edge of the field and keeping an eye out for good stand locations we straddled this large snapping turtle. With a little coaxing (check out corn […]
