Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Yea, I had a monster lurking around my property but never got him out during daylight hours... we only get one buck and can get a couple doe tags, but our deer are bigger, and fewer up here. Hes probably pushing 180-200Lb. I have a picture of him on my laptop from 22 or 23, and he was a heavy bodied 8 pointer then.

That's a big deer! Hopefully you get him next year!
 
All of ours are crate trained i use to work at a vet and it was always so much harder for the dogs that came in hurt or sick to heal if they were not use to being in a crate. They all sleep in creates at night except my big girl Tara. She sleeps in the bedroom on a big orthopedic dog bed.
Ru destroyed her crate. Like bit through the bars and broke the welds. I tie wired the thing up so she couldnt bend the panels out of the way and she broke all that as well. So, she sleeps on the couch. I gave it a few weeks and like 3 or 4 crates before I gave up. She was really good about it up until she turned 2 and got a taste of sleeping on the bed... then she said never again.

I need a tractor in the worst way! I'd love to plant a few clover plots. Hopefully your spot settles down and the deer move back in. They like the wood lots once things start sprouting again

Can't say that I blame her I would prefer the couch to a crate as well lol

Yes there are a few places that should be good next year for tree stand hunting if the weeds and brush grow like we think it will.

I wanna build a nice enclosed elevated shack. Something that will be heated and my boy can come with me as soon as possible, and grow up hunting out of it. If I get to it or not, we'll see. At the very least i'll cut some trees and some shooting lanes this spring

If I were closer I would let you borrow our tractor. Heck I would even come help you. I'm really good at handing tools. Lol

I'll have one in a few years hopefully! Cant have the land and nothing to work it! Plus, the wife wants snow banks for Oliver to play on and a regular plow on a pickup just wont suffice!
 
Whiskey has hints of flavor added to it ? . Why not coffee ? 😎
correct whiskey can be modified with flavors, colors and filtered methods etc. Bourbon can NOT by Federal laws... ... I am the law ...Stallone said...in that movie

Just take care of yourself Mike.
If anyone knows about 80 hour weeks it's me.
Sending you good vibes my friend!
 
Thank you! I'm hoping they decide my cpap machine is the reason I have not been sleeping well and have been so tired lately. That way it will be an easy fix and I can start feeling more like myself again.
Im praying for that also Amanda. If you're not sleeping, it's going to have that total mind and body effect
