HEARD THE FIRST QUAIL CALLING
Saturday morning I finally heard "bob-white bob-white". I was close to the center of the farm and heard four birds calling. I was getting worried, it was April 20th last year when they started calling. The other exciting news is I got the old grainy moved to Bobworld.You can see it's not going to take much work to get it back in shape. I got it in position. Will be cutting some trees so Mark can saw the lumber needed. I got a nice big turkey last Wednesday. Just in time for Fridays BBQ. I cooked him on the grill, there wasn't any shot in the meat. One little bullet just hit him behind the head. This week the Indigo bush down the back lane was in bloom.Janey has a nice point on a rabbit here. All the little geese are still alive - I thought for sure some of them would be dinner for a fox or hawk. I got most of my food plots planted.My new planter works real nice.The beans and corn came up real nice. The sunflowers are almost big enough to cultivate. The new clover plot is really doing well. I mowed it for the second time this week. If we get enough rain it will be nice this fall.The deer have been feeding on the clover most evenings. Janey came running out of the woods yesterday morning with a doe chasing her. Bill and I couldn't believe it. Janey was out of breath & scared for her life! The doe must have had a fawn close by.
