We got a few goats & we feed the big square bales,the farmer I buy 'em from delivers too the open front shed,puts 'em in & we cut the strings & feed one or two big flakes in the feeder,works out good for us.

Went hunting for the first time last night. Man oh man is it dry. Deacon treed two coons and both coons were in dead trees. Not a leaf on them. We got some rain this AM. Not enough. How has everyone been doing?

I might get along better with a crossbow,but still love the thrill of the bang. I'd lose just as many arrows as bullets,thought about tiein' a rope at the end of arrow but knowin' my luck I'd tie it too a branch that would pull me & the tree down.

I will stick to coon hunting. No worries about clearing the timber out and I got a good scope on my rifle.
