While they are considered crepuscular creatures, white-tailed deer are well adapted to see well under a wide variety of light conditions, day or night. Seasonally, whitetails are most active during late winter and early spring, and during the autumn breeding season, with a substantial decline in activity during summer. (Car-deer accidents follow the same pattern.) The high level of activity during spring is due to high metabolic demands, in the […]

Land & Legacy – Invasive Species on the Land

Posted from: https://audio.simplecast.com/d5eaabdb.mp3

Have you ever wondered where the invasive species that you are fighting came from? We discuss it on this podcast, from landscaping to farming, and why you should be concerned about both. Several of the invasive species in North America came from the introduction in landscaping in our residential areas. We discuss native alternatives for your landscape that are both ascetically pleasing and beneficial to wildlife. Listen closely to the species you don’t want on your farm.

How to Turn Junk Mail into Unlimited Free Firewood

https://www.wideopenspaces.com/use-junk-mail-make-unlimited-free-firewood-video/

Here’s a great grassroots life hack to make free firewood from the crap we get in our mailboxes.

Junk mail is a fact of life. Although annoying, we would probably miss it if we didn’t get any at all.

The problem is, while recycling efforts pay off in the long run, it would be nice to put this stuff to some good use sometimes.

Here’s a great and easy life hack that lets you use junk mail and some simple tools: a couple of pails, a drill with an old saw blade, some water. The end result is fire fuel that will heat a small home for a long time. Here’s an awesome video that shows the whole process, so you’l know how to execute this DIY project yourself.

WARNING: Cooking food over junk mail is hazardous; only use this technique as a heat source, and assume responsibility for your actions when dealing with fire.

This may actually make us excited to see that lump of useless paper in the mailbox!

Any time we can get free firewood, we jump at the opportunity. We have to go to work every day so why not do a little (very little in this case) work for ourselves?

This is a simple and straightforward way to make use of something that we all take for granted; not to mention take straight to the recycle bin.

With a little effort and brain power, we could start having these “logs” drying out in no time!

A few quick words of advice: there are many good cordless drills out there that have a lot of power. Any time you put a plugged-in drill and a pail of water together it could be dangerous.

Also, burning ads and paper that is heavily printed with colored chemicals is not good to cook over. Therefore we do not recommend cooking food over these junk mail logs.

But unlimited free firewood sounds pretty awesome to us! Make these paper bricks for use when firewood is tough to find, and you’ll be set for a cold winter.

Hopefully they didn’t plan on seeing deer on this hunt.

Let’s face it, snakes can make some grown men look like babies, so naturally those men never get off easy.

It seems that if you have friends, they use every opportunity they have to try and scare you to death.

But hey, what are friends for?

This buddy sacrifices a hunt and his blind in attempt to scare his hunting partner, and well…he exceeds.

Watch the video below:

A buddy pulls a little prank while in the ground blind.

Posted by The Sportsman Channel on Monday, April 29, 2019

He probably didn’t expect to see his friend become the incredible hulk out of the blind, but what can you expect when someone is deathly afraid of snakes? This prank is picture-perfect, as it unfolds even better than expected.

I doubt they’ll be hunting together any time soon, though.
