Fun on the farm

[Magungo1066]

Very excited! I will be visiting my family farm in South Carolina in a few weeks. Living up in Connecticut, I don't have any personal land of my own. I am so excited to have some time to walk/shoot around my farm. I haven't been since getting my rifle or fowler. Rabbits beware! Who else has their own personal land to shoot on? Hopefully I will run into some feral hogs with the .54...

While I only own 7.5 acres, I am care taker for over 330 acres with about 75 acres of woods and about one mile of woods line around the fields. Which gives me and my nephew all of the hunting land we need.

We have some acreage. I just got back up the hill after shooing my 16 gauge fowler. I'm enjoying the versatility of this gun. I shot some shot and followed up with patched round balls.

Since I moved into a town I'm stuck with Eurasian doves and a very old pellet gun. Things could be worse. Don't pass up a chance to eat them. The things are tasty!

Does popping Squills & Pheasant in my urban back yard count ? ……………….

When I was in college we ate a lot of rabbits from the park across the road from out rooming house, harvested with a crossman .177 cal pellet rifle. Quite and effective.

Not a lot, but 46 acres in a holler can be a fun walk.
Nearest neighbor is over half mile away, over a hill.

I’ve got a 25 acre woods, I enjoy it! I have paths made through it and plan to make more this spring.

Crisco, that is a nice old Benjamin. I have two benjamins , both 5mm. Both were given to me over time, they are fine pellet guns.

It's a .177. Probably made while some folks were still using their old muzzleloaders!

Log off one or two good clearings. A mature forest is a bit of a desert. The edges of clearings provide more food choices for birds and animals and a place to feed with cover nearby.
Love to hunt pipe and power line rights of way through woods.

I have a 500 yard pipeline... believe me, I know quite a bit about logging out a woods and managing it. My woods is connected to a 40 acre woods, together me and the other owner micro manage our deer properties. Food plots, bedding areas, cut some trees down to let light in, I will never ever let another logger into my woods... ever again. The last time was disasterous.

I had issues with a tree trimmer, I could imagine the issues you had with a logger.

I have 70 acers that is that is only about 1 1/2 miles from my house. The property is unimproved short of a couple of building I store my tractor and implements in.
no running water or electricity. I just offered a local a local muzzleloader club the opportunity to host a rendezvous on the place this fall if the covid thing has calmed down by then. I already have a full range setup on the place and plenty of room for a shoot and a very large encampment.
