I got the wagon blind, and a pop up out yesterday. I put a new ladder stand up a couple weeks ago. I still have 3 left to put up, but 2 are on public so I have to wait a few weeks on those, yet.
They did pretty well. I fell behind on weeds, and probably let them get too dry a couple times, but the deer left enough for the kids jack o lanterns. I only did about 1/10 of an acre, and they were pretty much all eaten by early November.
I've done pumpkins the last couple years after reading your posts. The neighbor sprayed his field next to mine, and smoked all my pumpkins a couple weeks ago. I'm trying to decide if I want to replant or just leave it for brassicas.
I've been pretty disappointed with our solar panels so far. They were installed in the fall of '18, and we bought the place in Dec. 2019. The derecho took them offline for 10 days since Alliant supplies our house and was down. The summer of '21 the north inverter quit so the system was offline...
160 acres sounds daunting. I'm 3 years in messing with 23 acres of old pasture. It seems like I'm adding more to my to do list than I am crossing things off at this point. Good luck with your endeavor. It's a lot of work, but very rewarding.
I've never pickled them, but we used to smoke them. We treated them similar to salmon. We would filet them leaving the scales on, and would generally just season them with salt and pepper or lemon pepper. When they were done the meat would flake off the scales, and bones. It's been probably 20...

Crazy, I just started looking into these. I have a 2008 Silverado with 150k on it, and it's using a quart to a 1.5 quarts every 5k miles. The range for a couple hundred $$ seems like a pretty safe investment.
Careful posting these pictures guys. They are the perfect example of what farm bureau fears in Iowa. Think of the thousands of bushels of corn and beans those fatties have eaten, and how much more damage they cause when a car smacks them ;).
Also can deer get diabetes? You might need to start...
