Any luck today Mike?

Sorry we missed you today, just wondering if the yotes got the better of you today?

The coyotes did indeed get the best of us today We tried 4 different stands today. We did however call a cat in It was a big black and white one, I think he wanted the rabbit Other than that it was really quiet. We did get to see a couple deer in the swamp, several eagles, and more crows than I have ever seen in one spot Dodge was sure wishing he had his crow calls and a shotgun If we get the amount of snow they are predicting, that is going to make coyote hunting a lot better
Thanks again for allowing us to hunt out there

We do have the market on crows here…………I will admit to that. They are fair game for you too, as far as I’m concerned. And we do have our fair share of eagles, they come up from the river every winter, easy pickin’s at the chicken farmers I guess.

I don’t know how much snow we will get out of this……….it’s just about 10:30 and not a flake has fallen yet. We’ll visit the next time you come by.

No snow up there yet ? We are getting hit pretty good right now and we haven’t even got the big part yet. How did Jim’s appointment go? Hope he is healing pretty quick. I bet you will be glad to get him back in the barns We will definitely stop and chat the next time we get out there

Well, you just keep all the snow………..After hunting season, I have absolutely no use for the crap.
Jim is doing good. The Doc still want’s him to stayout of the barns until the 11th of April……….but that’s not likley to happen. I just keep him away from the big birds, and the heavy work,……he’ll just have to work his way back in slowly. As long as I take my time it will all get done without pulling a muscle that I forgot I had.

Tomorrow they will blow in bedding, and I’ve got a week to get the barn set up before birds come back on the 27th. Of course, the other barn goes out the 26th and 27th…….so it’s just another day on the chicken merry-go-round……..It will all get done.

I don’t know squat about chickens, but I have ran enough pig farms to figure things out pretty quick. If you need a hand, just holler. I don’t go back to work for at least another month, so I have plenty of free time I am sure Dodge would volunteer as well. Don’t be afraid to ask us, we will be glad to give you a hand

Will do.

Will do.

In fact, it would be interesting to see how the operation works. Do you have bisecurity protocols with raising chickens? I have only seen chicken barns from the road. I have been around dairy and beef cows, pigs, sheep, and horses but never chickens or turkeys.

Right now, we do watch that no one comes in the barn right from duck hunting, or from another bird facility. But we do have slip on plastic boots and cloth coveralls for visitors.

I thought there would be something with biosecurity. In confinement situations, you can never be too careful as you know. One little bug and you can be in a world of hurt The biosecurity we had on the hog operation in Colorado was VERY strict. The company I worked for had 180,000 sows in 3 states. In Colorado alone we had 32,000 sows with 8 farrowing barns, 12 nurseries, and 16 finishing barns. Plus the boar stud farm and the gilt barns. That was a lot of prk running around 1 county

I’ll take my 140,000 chickens over the pigs any day. But I guess it’s all in what you get used to.
