I THOUGHT my younger trees were better protected; I doubled down on that after I saw the damage. All is not lost - only ONE will actually die, ringed; tore the bark off ALL the way around.
Jerks! We have acres and acres and ACRES of trees for you to rub on - leave the ones nearest the house - ALONE!
That’s funny!
I recently moved to a much more rural area.
I’ll have to check on whether I can cull Whitetail, Mulies and/or Turkeys on my own property in Season.
They were terrible for our country, although I didn’t realize it at the time.
Poison.
May they rot in hell.
If I ever get the chance, I’ll piss on both of their graves.
I liked Laura, though.:)
I went to a friend’s farm this morning. Had a shot at a doe but it wasn’t a clear shot so I chose not to press the trigger.
Listened to a Dan Bongino Show podcast for a while in the tree stand then came home.
Will try again tomorrow after church
You could do an emergency graft on the ringed one if it’s not too big using live bark stripped from a limb.... cover the bare area with the live fresh stripped bark, then cut through the two layers of bark where it overlaps to make a perfect patch, like you would to patch wallpaper. Set the new bark patch aside and pry the injured bark that was underneath to the fresh cut you made, then put the new bark patch into place over the bare wood, seal it up with tar or wax, and cover with tape. Then trim the tree back, hard, and tar the stubs.
Now that is funny. Might have to steal that one.
I am so stealing that
12 mo a year if they damage your garden ... in Pa.
Beau went Turkey Hunting for the first time last April. Got a 36 pounder in like 10 minutes of sitting in his blind a miles or so from the house.
Now he thinks it’s the easiest thing ever, LOL! He breasted it and carved out the thighs, has the fan and beard drying for mounting. The meat was very delicious. :)
That’s an idea - but it’s too late. I already took out the tree. I can get another for cheap in the spring as I have ‘connections’ at Jung’s. ;)
It was a Northwest Greening; I wanted a green apple for pies and to balance out some of our sweeter apples for cider and applesauce.
We’ll be swimming in apples in a few years; our 5 year old trees produced pretty well this season with NO help from me, but I’m going to fertilize and spray (organic) at the proper times this upcoming season.
I may come to regret that, LOL!
If so, I'll never have to buy at the meat counter again.... I still have to work this out..
Virginia has a continuous open season on nuisance wildlife, with some wildlife such as wild hogs and coyote specifically listed. Others, like squirrels, can be killed if detrimental to your dwelling or property.
The whitetail population exploded around here and farmers have been getting nuisance permits for years.
Fella down the road from me is constantly giving away venison. His freezer stays full and he gives away dozens every year.
I just read that black bear are being hunted as nuisance wildlife now.
Pretty sure regs differ by state and type of wildlife.
Just check with your particular state.
Reason for the question, I'm jealous as hell.
Cute.
How are you fixed for guacamole bowls?
