Added a couple trough feeders so I can really pour the protein to the herd…feeding 10 bags/week @50lbs each and so far 500lbs barely lasts but you gotta pay to play 😉

The troughs look nice . Where did you find them ? My feeder box has been very slow . The fencing addition to cemetery and also installing gate has really created a bottleneck to back of property . Dan

Hopefully all that time and money pays off! We just finished up trapping and took a bunch of yotes and a fox out of the rotation. Conservation department came and shot 20 or so hogs from their helicopter as well. It's warming up now and I'm looking forward to predator and hog control.

Awesome, unfortunately or fortunately 🤔 we don’t have many predators on this tract, I’ve only seen a couple coyotes, one red fox and one bobcat plus no hogs…however I refuse to feed the four fat coons that visit on the regular so setting the trap this weekend…there’s no restrictions on raccoon or opossum trapping on private land here in Georgia 🦝

I like to do my stand maintenance in the off season and keep the trimming to a minimum…if it blends in with the surroundings you’re good 👍
