Was at a spot they call big rock local swimming spot Saturday down past medix hotel had 3 bulls walk across the river about 20 yards from us. Must of needed a cool down.

last time we were up the water was so low the rope swing behind the benezett store was gettin sketchy.
seen one of those angry yellow phases there too lol

my river is 78 degrees 3 ft down.have pretty much shut fishin down for the good of the musky.

Those yellow rattlers are awesome to see. Use to have one up by the camp but only been seeing 2 dark ones this year.

keep em down there is fine with me--and they keep me outta ya'lls sang woods too.

Don't like snakes I take it pcr2 or just the poisonous ones?

Harmless but these dang things will give you a heart attack whenever they run across your foot down by the creek. Wolf spider I believe they are.

yea im not a spider fan ha
those stupid things love our outhouse at camp

Are the elk fed daily? I've seen them, more than a couple.

Canning season is on over here.

The elk at my weedville property and at my Penfield property are fed daily all year. Mainly deer feed pellet kind some corn and wild bird feed mix. They seem to get mad when the auto feeders batteries die they have learned if they knock it over there's plenty to eat haha. They love it when the field gets planted with clover as well.

What all you canning? I got a second batch of cucumbers about ready. Also going to try and can some chicken of the woods mushrooms. First year trying canning my father always canned just about everything so figured I'd give it a try.

Tomato sauce and green/wax beans for now. Been nasty hot with NO rain.
Pickled peppers soon. Been doing meat too, want to try fish.
Florida mullet was great, want to try a native to here fishy.
Oh and did some experimental smoked potato's, great mixed into tater salad.

If they like clover try alfalfa if you can.

The local farmer grows that in his fields down the road they seem to enjoy being in there as well. Next year will be sugar beets.

Only 40 more to go. And it's hot out.

Do you paint dip your traps?

Got mine ready early this year while it was cool out. Helped a buddy get his ready for his first year last weekend. Looking good guys, good luck this year hopefully we all get one of them elk tags. I lucked into a cow tag about the second or third season they had , still trying for the coveted bull tag. It's nice to come up and visit them snakes but glad you guys keep them up there.

Spray paint for the dp and dye and wax the 550s

I'll be at Clearfield. Riding with CoonDuke. I think there will be a good turn out. 100-200 folk is my guess.
A couple of vendors will be there as well.

Did a water trap boil/waxing with CoonDuke & Nittany Lion last Saturday...

Now that looks relaxing Hern

A lot of fun, Hornady Reloader. A lot of work to do up 250 water traps, but with three of us, it went pretty quick dying & waxing.
CookDuke's wife brought us homemade breakfast sandwiches early on. Later, CoonDuke made burgers and dogs. We did share stories & get to relax for a while.
All in all, a good day shared with friends.

We did up a mixed bag of #1 long springs, #1 jumps, #2 Victor square jaws w/Kelly pans, 110's, 160's, 330's & drag chains
drying line was always full...
