  • The Spawn

    There are two things that absolutely get my heart pumping more than anything else in the outdoors, the whitetail rut and the crappie spawn. The Lord clearly knew that most stand-up, logical outdoorsmen would prefer crappie and deer over all other fish and game, so he put these two glorious seasons at opposite times of the year, so that we mighty outdoorsmen might also be able to enjoy a happy marriage! Now is the time my friends, the moon is full, we've had plenty of warm days, and stringers of male crappie are already starting to appear on my Facebook feed. Here are some tips and tactics that will help you be more successful during the spawn. The crappie spawn attracts

  • Accidental Farmer – Tomatoes and the Odd Couple

    On this farm I see strange things often.  The strangest romance I have ever seen proves that size doesn’t matter.  We currently have two different breeds of swine on our farm.  We have Red Wattle Hogs, which are rather large and unwieldy, and Juliana Pigs, which are a breed of the mini pig currently popular for keeping as pets.  Our Juliana Boar wants nothing to do with his sows.  He is madly in love with one of the Red wattle Sows.  He routinely escapes his pen to join her in the field.   You would imagine she’d have nothing to do with him, but she seems to return his affection.  So much that I’ve seen her lie down and raise a
