I read somewhere that years with a heavy mast crop (acorns) tend to be followed with an increased tick population. Dunno how true it is, but it kinda makes sense. I soak all my clothes in Sawyers ahead of time if I have plans to be outdoors. If you spend enough time at the cabin, you may consider some type of ground bird (guinea fowl, chicken) to help with the ticks.
For mosquitos, I would have never believed this works, but we got desperate for relief...mix 3 cups Epsom salt, 1 bottle of minterest mouthwash and 3 cheap beers. I added some lavender oil, but eucalyptus oil works too. Let the salt dissolve and spray everywhere including bushes. I may see a random mosquito but nothing like before. Supposedly it will last for about 2 months.

Well my seeds came in today. 4 business days from order to arrival is pretty good in my opinion. Seeds came in sealed, clear packaging so you can see what's in itand the seeds look to be in good shape. Hopefully these do well if I can get the soil right.

I was going to try some of the Whitetail Institute clover on a different plot. Thought about some of the Power Plant too to compare to the mix I'm putting together.

I gave Hancock Seed a try last night. I did a small order to test them out. They seemed to have a good variety to choose from and shipping was free. I got a tracking number first thing this morning so we'll see how fast they ship.

Anybody have a reputable website they recommend for buying seed? My local feed stores tend to only carry the more common options (corn, clover, etc.) or prepackaged mixes. I can read reviews all day, but I prefer first hand experiences if I can get them.

Nightforce just announced last week two new NX8 models, fyi since you have the itch. Specs sound promising.

Don't forget to check Visa requirements. A lot of countries don't require them if you are staying for X amount of days, but some do. When work was trying to send me to China, I was going to have to apply for a visa and send them my passport to have it added which would have added to the turn around time.

I'm pretty good at sighting in a rifle

Sounds like a Peregrine

Have you looked at Tuffy Security. They make several lock boxes that use the bolts from your seats to secure it under your seat to your vehicle, depending on the size of the box.

Subtext during the vid says they skinned and gutted it. When skinned correctly, the guts get pulled out at the same time.

Sold out already. Never used a Sig before, but at that price I might have tried it.

Care to expand on this? I don't see how it defeats the purpose of anything.
I could be wrong, but I believe he's saying that if all vehicles uniformly ran DRLs, then motorcycles and the like no longer stand out in daylight hours as the "something different" that gets your attention by having headlights on.

My wife and I have developed an immunity to hot sauce. Much like a druggie, it's taking more to get the heat effect. We picked up several from Pepper Palace in New Orleans the last time we were there. I think we've gone through about 6 bottles of Jean Lafitte's ghost pepper hot sauce. It's got good flavor, but since it's an order item, we try not to go nuts with it. The Death Stalker scorpion pepper saucethey sell is good to.
For every day foods we use a lot of locally sourced El Yucateco or Crystal hot sauce.

I saw the aftermath of that wreck. It was so bad they put up some sort of tarp barrier to prevent ppl driving by from seeing it. That car was destroyed.

2 new reported cases in Marshall County. All 3 cases are in a tight cluster so I guess that's a positive. I suspect the bans recently put in place will carry over into next season.
-
I don't know how they haven't reported another case in Marshall or by now Benton County, MS with that distribution map.
-
Preliminary results for 11 more testing positive from the same areas.

Depending on drone size (small), they could just use the Peregrine falcons airports are already using to control bird populations at airports.

I'd love a generator connected to the house. My FIL had one connected to his gas line, super quiet and convenient. On the flip side, a lit house in a completely dark neighborhood will be like a beacon to all sorts of people.
-
Well that's just **cking awesome. My lease is just past the Hardeman county line. Really hope these are false positives, but unlikely
-
They are $80 at several places right now. I want to say you can daisy chain them also.

Conquest has their deer tested. Saw an episode of Conquest 200 last night where the owner submitted cull deer and any natural deaths to the state to be tested. At least I think it was the state, could have been private.

Well that sucks. I'm honestly superised there's not already some regulation on testing urine based products for CWD with all the concern throughout the US of it spreading.
