a few vids of rain

i know its hard to understand but the area tallyho is in we like genuinely celebrate when it rains
a normal year we receive about 300mm (12 inches+-) of rain. yes thats it.

Great idea Stuart puts it a bit into perspective of out of season hard work.. apart from shows.

Maintaining property and equipment pays big time on the back end of not having big emergency during season. Nice work.

Looks good! (except the poachers... screw them)

I like the idea of this thread, it's good for people to get a glimpse of day-to-day operations.

I know there is much more off season work involved. Thank you for taking time to include us with afew pictures from your day to day work. The leopard pix are awesome!
Good luck with your upcoming season

My exercise regimen moves indoors during our harsh Canadian winters. Important to work out off season.

Thank you for sharing. I like seeing what goes on during the off season and what we hunters don't see when there.

i assume you never read my opening post

No. Just the marquee. I will delete the post if it offends you. This is what I do in the off season. Plus shoveling snow. I presumed the thread was about what "we" AH members do in the off season. Oops.
