Visited the Dignity sculpture in Chamberlain SD today.
 
Wow, remember the picture above when that turkey came over to visit on my deck? Well now I see why he has no fear!
After the rain stopped the turkey and I were walking out to the shooting range when a young buck confronted the turkey and I witnessed the most amazing fight I've ever seen: :eek:

Turkey vs Deer Kung-Foo Style

A cocky young deer walked up and challenged the turkey to a fight

The turkey accepts and they faceoff

The deer throws a Cobra Kai kick

But the turkey counters with the deadly Karate Kid Crane Kick

The deer is startled and circles around for another attach

The deer recovers from his mistake but as he moves in, the turkey flashes the Five Feathered Wing of death punch

The terrified and frustrated deer realizes he has narrowly escaped death

Knowing he has confronted a Master and cannot win, he concedes the fight

He respectfully bows to the master as he struts away

Man, It just keeps getting stranger and stranger around here.......🤣

Wasn’t exactly happy with my view this morning. Went out to the farm to prep the tractor for mowing and found that the groundhogs have invaded.

Damned things excavated out under the rack of wood pellets. Once I moved the tractor I found this hole.

How’d you like to find that bastard walking through in the dark…..🤬

What I need is a solution to drive them from the building. Is there some sure way to repel them while we’re not there?

I did employ the best method for removal on one of them this morning. Caught this female munching on the alfalfa.

A subsonic 150gr Golddot did the trick….
Look up the "Rodenator". Maybe not so much in the barn...lol....but in the field, it's awesome. An afternoon with a few beers and great entertainment!!

Went on a trip up to Twin Falls over the weekend. In Laws are moving to Jerome from Richland WA (FIL is from Pocatello and MIL is from Malad originally). First time not just passing through that area. Also spent a few days around Buhl seeing the sights and glamping at Miracle Hot Springs. It's where Mrs. Lefty (who is right handed) wanted to stay for our late anniversary trip. Other pics are on our DSLR.

End of Box Canyon at the Snake River

Came home yesterday to a bad smell. Finally found it today.

Left on the stove with a lid on it. Uncooked. In the house. From Friday to Thursday. Almost threw up.

Great views. I bet that was rank. Catfish bait?
 
My ex MIL did that once, with chicken on a pan, but in the oven.

Fortunately during warmer weather and could open the house up.

Nasty stink.

@tnichols my experience was worse than shad by memory, but havent used that for catfish in 20 yrs.
Rotting chicken is supposedly good for gator bait.

It was little bullet day (85.5 Bergers, 90 ATIPS and VLDs and 95SMKs) on the range today.
Perfect thousand yard day: overcast with little or no wind after the fog blew off.
Not shown: my 224 Valkyrie bolt gun that I was shooting earlier in the day…..

Ty yesterday with his gasser at 655. A good distraction as State track starts this coming Thursday.
PS
I know his position (especially his left foot) is a little wonky, however, he was holding the waterline fairly well and enjoying himself, so I let it slide.

I shoot off the top of a dam grade, with a two track road. I’d kill to get into that position.

Did you see any base jumpers jumping off the bridge?

That pic of box canyon doesn't do it justice at all.
 
That is a beautiful vehicle and a great find
However as a building contractor I can assure you that that shed wasn’t built in the late seventies
Just going off what the owner's daughters guessed from their memories of riding in it and last tag is a '78. Certainly could have been moved from somewhere else. At least it wasn't left sitting in the woods with a tree growing up through it!
