Title: Productive weekend
Post by: catsmtrods on October 20, 2013, 05:30:14 AM
Butchered six rabbits and have eight more to go by other doe. Did eight chickens last week.  Made hot sauce out of the ripe jalapenos and chili's. Dug up the taters and carrots. Going to pick apples AND MAKE PIE! Next week horseradish and pickle beets.
 Firewood (9 cords) stacked in the shed.  If I get a deer next month I will be set for winter all from my own hands, no food stamps!

Think I'll build a few rabbit boxes just for the hell of it. As a kid, I had many set and I would get up early on frosty mornings and run my string of boxes.....and I do mean run. Took about 10 minutes or less to cover about a mile or more.

A few years ago when son was about 12, I built a rabbit box to show him and a friend how to do it.....they like to wore it out tripping the trigger.... :lmao: Something so simple just seemed to amaze them.

...and damn government has to screw with everything. I have been told that now you have to buy a license and attach one to every box. :argh:

I wish we could ping here.  Ptarmigan would be pleased.

Well done.

I put up firewood and took care of the winter service on my truck.
