Nice harvest. Yes, shading to keep it just a little cooler on the plants and good watering can get you through a hot summer. Good sweet potato bunch you have there. I plan on doing sweet potato next year.
You can see how a lot of the bucks were "waiting" until the does got done. In one pic you see one doe on her hind legs, which looks like she was bitch slapping someone. Feeding quality protein and enough of it is an expensive endeavor, but worth it to see the results.
Started prepping the wetlands with millet and milo seed in the mudflats. Will continue over the next couple of weeks while the water continues to drop.
Awesome paint job on the ETS. If your firebox isn't insulated, you should be dropping new logs into it about every 45 minutes. That's why when I went away from my trailer smoker, I got something I could not have to tend to it all the time.
Picked up this 40' trailer this weekend to put at my hunting land. It's a hurricane "survivor" that needs some fixing up but will be a good camp trailer to fit the entire family.
Take a drive a little past Rockwall and go out to the intersection of 276&548 where Smoke Sessions BBQ has a trailer. They are putting out some great BBQ. I picked up a beef rib for myself and pulled pork sandwiches for the kids.
Was at Costco tonight and usually poke around while I'm there. My local one usually doesn't have pork belly but I came across these packages of skinless, already cut into strips pork belly. Picked up a couple of them and will look forward to throwing them on the smoker soon.
Apparently some Walmarts have their corn marked down to $2.50/bag. I picked up 36 (of the 51) bags at the Frisco location off 121 today. This was the clearance price from last season and I guess some locations didn't get updated when their new stock just came in.
