Summer in Retrograde


Well, the summer that wasn't much summer is starting to fade. New dogs, Zeus and Eos, have been lucky enough to not have too much heat/humidity, but the past few days have revved up some temps a bit.
Tonight we're facing thunderstorms and several dogs are tied for that since they try to rip their fences or jump them when the noise starts.

As I was just out settling them before dark, the coyotes were yipping up in the front of our land. They've ben very noisy the past few weeks, leaving scat on the trails, scratch marks, etc. The dogs do tolerate them quite well, not getting upset when they yip. The predicted thunder is expected to be the vengeful type so it may quiet all of them for a bit.

The trails are starting to turn brown, the early signs of autumn approaching. I like it! Dogs with allergies have had enough already.


Tonight we had seven does in for corn. Have had several bucks still coming in at odd times, beautiful racks, wow! Six, eight, ten points and wide spreads with tall spans.
