I think our farm got a good rain yesterday also (based on radar). I'll go up in a couple of days and check. I haven't mowed up there since mid June. Maybe I'll need to this week. Strangely, I've had to mow about once a week at my home in the St. Louis suburbs, about 90 miles south of my farm. A smal...

So far in July, we have only had about 1/2" of rain at my northeast MO farm. This after below normal rainfall in April, May and June. Rain is in the forecast frequently, but it always dries up or goes around us. Creeks have stopped flowing, ponds are shrinking and the ground is as hard as concr...

I used to carry the smallest Swiss army knife with me at all times (tiny knife blade, file with screwdriver tip scissors, toothpick and tweezers). it came in handy on numerous occasions but would not make much of a weapon.

Thank you! As I said on Canada Day, you guys are the greatest neighbors that any country on earth has! When I'm in Canada it doesn't feel like foreign country.

I hope everybody has a chance to eat some barbecue and watch some fireworks today. Also, I hope everybody's corn is at least knee high!

We couldn't ask for a better neighbor! Happy Canada Day (belatedly)!

Congratulations on getting the tag! I can't wait to read the story of your hunt. This forum is in the summer doldrums now and some real life hunting reports would be welcome.

Good luck!

A few years ago, I visited one of the WW2 cemeteries in France. Row after row of white stones bearing a name and a star of David or a cross, perfectly maintained and manicured by the French people. I can't describe the impression it makes but if you've been there, you know what I mean.

Congratulations! If you find the right person, it's automatic to stay together. In a few weeks my wife and I will celebrate our 43rd. I can't believe how quickly those years have passed.

Thank you. They need and deserve our support.

Impressive! I'm glad that I can just buy a crossbow and go hunting. If I had to assemble one from various parts from different bows, I'd be lost and frustrated. You have knowledge and ability far beyond mine.

Nice job and great pictures!

Congratulations to both of you! You should be proud for teaching her well and she should be proud for executing what you taught her so successfully. Enjoy the turkey meat.

Beautiful fish! My turkey hunting isn't working out, but I have been catching some fish too. My wife and I had a delicious fresh walleye dinner last night.
