Looking to me like you might be trimming the best part.....leave those salty fat tails on there for flavor.

Go keto and that shit will fuel you for 24 hours while lowering cholesterol and leaving you lean enough Mrs GenoC will be proud to take you out in town.
 
Sitting in the deer stand watching a small ish house cat stalk a mouse or something. May be a slow morning
This reminds me of a time many years ago while visiting my wife’s grandparents on their farm in KY. I had a new Thompson Hawken 50 caliber rifle and Grandad and I were doing some target practice when a stray cat came along. Grandad said he thought it was the one who had been harassing his chickens, so I volunteered to dispatch it. The cat was about 50 yards or so and walking along the top of a high creek bank that ran through the property. As I was aiming, he said Aw don’t kill it just scare it off so I said okay and lowered my aim down below the cat and into the creek bank and let loose. I laughed as the cat flew up in the air but then it tumbled down the bank coming to a stop. I was surprised that the exploding creek bank took out the cat and Grandad just spit some tobacco and calmly said I think you scared him to death.

That's similar to how we used to "gravel" quail in eastern WA.

Big brother before I left to go to the hospital.
Early this week he made a name tag and had a mask on so he could go see his brother.
We have to do a check in at the hospital and get name tags .
Not fun explaining to him that he can’t go to the hospital.
 
Spent Friday marking trees to leave for Golden Winged Warbler habitat. Basically leaving 10-15 trees and clear cutting. Roughly 2 acres.

The undercutting looks really good. We passed through some elk habitat in Wisconsin a few weeks ago where the DNR had done something similar. It looked great.

It’s actually been grazed heavily in the past. Lots of maple and some buckeye. Basically it’ll be a clear cut down the hill to simulate a disturbance. It’ll look rough but hopefully who ever is hired to log does a good job. Small cuts like that bring shit heads out of the wood work.

We left White Oak and Hickory, hopefully the landowner manages it and keeps the maple down
 
Good afternoon in Hooterville. District Qualifier to move on to state for Ty and his team. Ty’s team ranked #2 head to head with #1 from southern Iowa (they take the top 3). Beat them by 11 points to move on. Just have to beat them one more time 😬.

Ha, I posted above about the best complement. I'm laying on our couch in the back room at the shop and the dog just came in to check me out, then split as smooth as she came in.
Gotta love it
