That’s the plan. Have to run it from the basement to the garage today. Then my electrician buddy will swing by and verify my thoughts on the wiring coming off the lathe.
Looks like they are using Stihl to limb and Husky to cut the trunks.......My MS 440 is salivating.
Wife is going out to yell at them because they are dropping limbs on her burning bush.............Im sure they don't care nor do I.

I added an hour meter to my ADX-20. Not sure why American Rotary doesn't include. Just picked up one of their 50hp AI units but haven't gotten it hooked up yet.

Changing some cameras around to find out what kind of kitty kitty I have roaming the place.
Big boy at the feeder. That's a Lamco 600 lb capacity.
Here's the wildest thing around here.... 
That trash bandit needs a 17 grain sleeping aid.Here's the wildest thing around here....

I think my new cat is eating these around my place. I used to see quite a few, but lately not so much. That pic I posted is about 300 yards from my back deck, so my chickens and dogs are being watched closely.Here's the wildest thing around here....
Are you able to kill the cat there or is there a season? Here, there is no season and fair game year around as they’re considered a predator.

If it is a bobcat, they are in season now anyway. If it were out of season, my understanding of the hunt reg is if it is to save farm or domestic animals, it can be out down as well. I’d just have to call the local warden, I don’t think she’d have anything to say. The biggest IF comes down to it being a juvenile lion. The reason being is they are said to be extinct in this area for the last handful of years. If it is a true wild cat and not someone that has imported it OR let it go, I’m thinking there will be a lot of hubbub about it. That being said, the henry 22 mag is attached to my hip. If it is a bobcat and is seen, it will be dispatched. They are overwhelmingly populated here from my understanding.
It looked to me like a cougar in your game cam pic. If it was a bobcat and wasn’t bothering my stock, it would probably get a pass. Lion/cougar- DRT.

@tnichols
Generally I am the same train of thought guy. I do however think a bobcat mount would look nice in my gun room. With that being said, I’m 41 and have never mounted an animal professionally, so chances are I’ll never shoot it. Unless it is in the yard yard and messing with the cluckers. They currently stay on their toes playing chase with a baby hawk that was born this year. His eyes are big enough to hit them, but when he gets close enough, he realizes they are bigger………for now

Looks like mountain lion to me.
All the bobcats I have seen have a pattern on thier fur and the lions I have seen don't. The tail not shown is long on a lion.
They will both wreck hell on deer and turkey.

Not likely a feral cat. Here is a cat in the same position as the other one. It’s clearly smaller. State wildlife biologists initial impression is a large bobcat. He is gonna look closer and have some others look as well. Said we should hear back from him today hopefully.

State wildlife biologist thinks not, but he is getting another opinion or two from the smart guys around.
yeah. I love me some state wildlife biologist..... Some are as bright as state epidemiologist.....
I did look up pics to refresh, as its been a bit since I have seen a bobcat in the wild. Could be. For sure.
Plus, I spent my 20's as a cougar hunter. Those things are REALLY dangerous!!!!

And that was my second impression. First was bobcat due to spotted lower legs, but thought maybe it could be mud. My biggest wonder on lion is this. I live in eastern NC. There has not been a confirmed, legit sighting or killing of a WILD lion since the 1920s. There were a couple of “domesticated” ones killed in the 80s. Tons of people have said they have seen one, including a guy who lives about 15 miles down the road from me. Well within the range of a full grown lion. I am attaching another picture of the thing he caught on camera. Look closely and you can see it’s tail. He has said all his deer have pulled a vanishing act on this 75 acre plot.
Young Mt Lions may still have some cub markings like seen on the following:

And that would match pretty close. Who knows, maybe it will be sleeping in my tree stand one day!!!
No kidding! Those big cats will kill you back.Let us know.
We will send fresh underwear.
After last Friday’s step backwards he got to breastfeed again today. Got 6ml ! Hopefully we don’t have anymore problems and get out of here soon.
Beautiful morning in Pumphandle IA. 50 degrees and barely a breath of wind. Gotta take 20 minutes or so and enjoy this before the “change”...

Cranky is at it again, eating up all the late year grain
25th Anniversary today. The vase is the one my Grandmother gave to my parents on their 25th anniversary. We consider that a pretty damn special regifting.
My wife sitting outside talking on the phone, to her mom. The deer couldn't believe what she was hearing.

We did some family photos last weekend. Gus looks like a monster in this picture. 
He pinched the hell out of my nose this morning. He's got a good grip.
