Wow. I can't believe it's been over a month since I've updated anything. We had a great Labor Day weekend at the farm although the doves disappeared overnight on us. Literally. We watched strong numbers of birds working the field until sundown on 8/31 and as the sun rose on 9/1 they were gone. Adios. Nowhere to be found. We managed a meager 5 birds that morning, which was a big disappointment from where our expectations were set. Nonetheless, we had a great time and the kids all had a blast. We put our plots in on 9/20 with a 80% chance of rain forecasted for 9/22. As I type this on 10/1, we have not received a drop of rain since planting. The one plus this year that I've seen is the number and size of deer we are getting regularly on trail cams. This is year 4 on the property and it is very evident that trigger restraint along with high protein food has begun to show itself in the form of healthier deer. I plan on trying to do my part to stick one of those mature deer starting Friday. I'm looking forward to the next 4 months spending time in the great outdoors and the memories that are sure to come along with it. A rundown of a month's worth of photos are below.
