The Lodge

You forgot some packets of jello

They have gone nuts for strawberry jello where I have been hunting. Just difficult getting the mash out there before a hunt.

Just using what I have here, next time I'm out at the store, I'll grab some jello.

Got the camper moved into its final resting place and got temporary power run to it so we have AC now. Couldn’t find a trencher available to rent today so we’ll just have the backhoe that digs the septic tank hole dig a trench to run the permanent cable in. Got the breaker panel installed in the shop as well. We left the windows cracked in the RV last time we left thinking maybe a breeze would blow through and it wouldn’t be 150° in it next time we came. But apparently they were open enough that a raccoon busted through one of the screens and trashed the place. After we got it moved under the carport, we started cleaning it out and found a baby raccoon in the bedroom inside one of the pillows that was torn open. So we got it out and took it back to where the trailer was originally and setup it’s neat inside a piece of 8” PVC pipe so hopefully the mom finds it when she comes back.

At least it wasn't a family of undocumented citizens.

That sucks.

The smell of raccon urine in the RV... oh no, I'd probably opt to sleep in the truck.

Raccoons don't survive around here, they chew up electrical, water pipes, tear up the solar panels, feeders and eat that precious deer corn.

Light rain and this lone turkey is using the feeder as an umbrella.

Found another baby and mama in the camper this morning. Not sure how we managed to stay in here yesterday evening and all night and she never made their presence known. They were living in the pull out couch. They’re gone now. Should be fully varmint free now. Hopefully.

Scored one of those metal picnic tables with the rubberized coating for the property. Should hold up much better than the cheap plastic or wood ones.

Craigslist. It’s the Global Industries one from Amazon. Still in the box, got it for $550. Normally $1300+.

Preparing your farm kitty for a hunt, let them start off using an elevated archery bow stand.

Last couple weeks, I was wondering where this turd was disappearing through out the day.

 

[Taco Loco]

Here piggy, here piggy, piggy....



Corn, soured milk, hot water & sugar, and 1 beer. Let this sit for day, maybe two.

Hoping to get a fresh ham and backstraps to throw on the smoker for the 4th.

Feeder near the house has been quite, probably with the amount of work I have been doing lately. But, my farm neighbor shot a sow a few days ago, and he invited us to dinner and he cooked the hams up for pulled pork last night and he gave me a few pounds of meat, so it's all good.

Got my archer buck from the taxidermist yesterday.

Picked up a load of gold nuggets.
Gonna top off everything, and then figure out how many bags I can store in the chest freezer for storage.
