Can’t wait for sideways bows to be illegal for hunting big game....

Originally it was smoked with pecan wood, like first response said make sure you use a coarse (more coarse then what comes with most grinders). I make my own every winter 50/50 deer and pork....

I was born and raised in south La. after graduating I lived in three different states during college and currently reside in the last one. My wife’s family is from here. If I could, I would strongly consider moving to Idaho, Montana, Wyoming area. Never been, but the summers have to be nice, and I’d...

Might be what they call smell melons or buffalo gourds, they grow wild in the ditches of sugar cane fields, I used to pick them all the time when I was younger dove hunting we would throw them up and shoot em like skeet lol. I have heard that you can graft a cucumber plant on that vine and it will g...

Depends on how you want to do it. They lay 300 eggs a year and the chicks mature in 6 weeks. It only takes 17 days in the incubator for a chick to hatch. So if you had 10 breeding pair you could prob either get tied of eating them or just don’t incubate as much. ...

The top four cages have two rosters and 6 hens in each cage for fertil eggs, bottom pen will be “grow out” for meat or slaughter all the roosters and keep hens for non fertile pickling eggs....

I have coturnix they grow the fastest, some states have regulations on if you can raise bobwhite some require annual permits. There’s an A&M breed that’s a all white Coturnix that has a whiter meat that I’m about to purchase...

If it was allowed, I would disk and plant the power line as my food plot, put up a box blind for rifle, and if you’re a bow hunter, set up lock ons on trails leading to the food plots. Most mature bucks will hardly ever get out in the plot during daylight but they will scent check does skirting the ...

Right now I have 38, I built a three tier stacked quail pen with gravity waters and rabbit feeders. You can raise “meat quail” 5/sqft, egg layers or breeding pairs 1/sq ft. My bottom pen is 12 sqft so I could potentially have 60 quail in there at one time. ...

I did it for a while. Really didn’t like the flavor that much, wife didn’t mike the flavor much either, not fun to clean. During the summer they don’t breed as well as in the fall-spring. I bought some cages from a guy that raised rabbits when he was younger now he raises quail for high end restaura...

Yes they can fly, and no they cannot be free ranged. Some people farm bob white because they fly well, the breeder will make a “fly cage” or “run” and it allows then to fly when they want, they raise them and sell them to clubs to put out for guest to shoot. Bobwhites take longer to mature but are a...

Particularly coturnix quail, AKA Japanese quail, mature at 6-8 weeks of age start laying eggs and are ready to be eaten. Takes a chicken 9 months. They’re also bigger then bobwhite quail. From a homestead view it’s more efficient of a bird to raise, they’re smaller and you can raise them in small ca...

Here’s the link to the YouTube post I followed [link=(https://youtu.be/MZE71wdc2ZE)]LINK[/link]...

[img]https://i.imgur.com/UfaDEVZ.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/fxkwj5f.jpg[/img] I have chickens and recently added quail to the farm, I had a small styrofoam incubator and the thermostat recently went out. I have always been interested in a diy build. I found these plans on Coturnix corne...

[img]https://i.imgur.com/OcKa0kz.png[/img] Just wanted to share this little tool with those of y’all that like to start seeds for fall and spring gardens. HOSS TOOLS has them for $5 I believe, you slide the card out to your fall or spring frost date, has spring on ones side and fall on the other,...

It’s just like with anything else. Initial start up cost is high depending on how big you go then after that you can save. I have a big garden, I have a rear tine tiller, couldn’t imagine life without it. I also have a tractor but I have a lot of land to maintain. But say canning stuff, mason jars a...

I have a pretty huge garden in my back yard 4,000 or more sq/ft. I’ve been growing many different veggies and variety’s and consider myself to be novice. I’ll tell you this like I told my buddy who was picking my brain earlier this spring about starting out. Grow a raised bed garden. Yes, it is a ...

https://garden.org/apps/calendar/ Type in your zip and it tells you when to direct sow or transplant, love that source. I feel your pain, just canned my 50th quart of pickles today still have half a 100qt ice chest of cukes to can and my plants don’t look like they’re slowing down soon....
