Never ending coons. They attack all me and my neighbors fruit. He killed 30 last year on his farm. I took 16. They were after my cherries this year. I caught 9 near the tree! Epidemic of them.

And this factory hunting perpetuates the horn mania that tempts poachers like the one caught. Not to mention aggravating disease spread. The whole big bone industry should be shut down. Why isn’t it? Once again $$$$$$$$$

I have lived in N Mich and raised fruit. Up there it stays cold until June. By then it jumps abruptly to Summer. Buds stay in until Summer. Rare to lose a crop up there. I figure in the south it is better becase killing freeze during blooming time is also rare. Here in central and southern...

Awhile back I talked about the tendency for warm weather to force fruit bud advance and then cold air is sure to threaten. By golly if that isn’t the case again. Was just enough warmth to tease my fruit trees to the point that I can see the little fruit buds Now artic blasts maybe even...
