Caught up on mowing today - 5 hours & all the back fields are done. During the heat wave last week, there was also a decent breeze blowing & any moisture got sucked right out of the ground. It’s very dry & dusty & some grass patches are brown & ‘crunchy’. It was somewhat overcast, no bright sun, & humidity was lower so it was a great day to mow.
As I came around the end of the old horse ring, there was a gorgeous buck in the far back field. Not a ‘monster’, but still a large, symmetrical rack. He finally had enough of the mower & jumped the fence. I’m sure we will see neither hide nor hair of this big boy when hunting season comes in.
My Personal Pace Toro mower became a push mower this evening. The front yard is done but I need to get it fixed before i try the back. No bucks here, but a few animals like to leave scat in my yard. (And maybe a few owl pellets!)
