This morning at sunrise.

I'm sitting here with my caller farmers been seeing a few coyotes early am, look at the telephone pole i'm hiding under a deer blind on stilts, fawn distress, sun coming up this female comes trotting along the treeline , looks my way the pole is just at 230 yards. I slammed her in the neck and the bullet exited near her tail, see blood patch. Hornady 45 grain soft point at about 3500 fps, dropped like hit by lightning, 204 Ruger, Thompson Center Venture.

Pretty spot. It's terribly dry here right now. Pretty much just brown and ugly. If it doesn't rain soon, I mean real soon..corn won't be worth harvesting. Another week and it might make decent silage but it won't make corn. Getting scary for farmers, with exorbitant input costs, the likes of which have never been seen and a failed crop will put a lot out of farming altogether. Traditionally, we get a good rain on or around the 4th just about every year. This year is bad enough that fronts lose all moisture and just disappear before they get here. That's a bad recipe.

Buried a good dog on Sunday. Had a neighbor dig the hole with his mini excavator. Went a little over 4 ft and never found moisture. But it is by a tree, which will use most available moisture around it.

Pretty much lost all corn in upstate SC. Really dry here. I just sewed German Foxtail Millet because they said it was going to rain. Rain we right around us. Crazy weather patterns.

I put some fertilizer on my garden a couple of weeks ago. I had been watching the forecast and it was giving near 100% for rain that day. Looked at the radar, a big red glob about 200 miles wide about 25 miles northwest and headed right at us. Wind got up, got pretty dark, and it fell apart, just disappeared about 10 miles west of me.

Sorry about your friend.

Sorry about your friend.

Thank you! He was one of the best dogs I've ever been around. He just didn't want to disappoint me no matter what. He went 38hrs without pee'ing while dying, waiting the the vet to be able to come do what had to be done. What a dog, is all I can say! He was like that his whole life, though.
