Dos cows are in good shape.

Well fed.




Creek crossings are pain but they beat not having a creek.


That looks like a cool place.

yes

Get a lawn chair, sit with your creek shoes on up to your knees, cold beer, light rod, 4lb line.

There’s even channel cats in the calmer pools. The Cumberland River is 2 miles down stream.

There’s usually another, 1-2ft depth of water. TVA and COE pull the water down in the fall.

pretty spot you got there slum..

Used to keep a pretty thick patch of ladino clover here in this little pocket plot, got flooded several years ago. 4ft of water stayed on these fields for almost 30 days. Ruined it for good. Just weeds now.

Thinking about get it back into shape, I need to haul a plow and disc from the homeplace, this property is 13 miles up the highway.

Places where I pushed deadfall back, I cut down and exposed a lot good dirt.

Threw down some cereal rye to hold the mud, we’ll can get a few creek topping floods through the winter.

Maybe a few deer will enjoy the greenup

Tried to gently moved this stand out.

It flopped and folded, I barely bumped it with the loader and bent one of the legs. Oh well, I just pushed it off into the vines and left it for dead.

Only 5 years old, rusted out junk.

Is there someplace where you can get up and see something?

I’ve got 3 other stands on the place. There’s an east west ridge that rises above all that creek bottom land. All in oak and beech.

Nice.



Anyway...you did a nice job on that crossing.

Hard part is getting the diggin tractor over there. Trailer doesnt like my backhoe attachment.

So I drive the machine on the highway.

7 mph. 😀

Even had a guy in older chevy truck tell me I was “number 1” 🖕🏼

That you did! I get paid good money to do such work! Looks good!

Looks like a good spot , I would fish that creek for sure .

Barbequeing offense.

Sorry, didn't know that was you....lol

Is this what they call an example of 'OE'?

Too many Natural Lights..... 😂🤪

Twenty-five years as a volunteer firefighter in a small farming community - I can't begin to remember how many times we were called out to round up someone's escaped cows. It was always kind of fun.
