TOPIC: 15.3 oz today - found some 4 prongs - decent first trip

And last one - here is a pic of the pile on my digital scales.



It started off nice this morning early but got bad hot later on.

I was sure glad the hollow I was in had a slick rock spring creek in it. I drunk both of my gator-aid's and lots of creek water too.

Got sore feet and tired legs now, but that will get better as I get to hunt more.

Hope you all have a Great Weekend !

Hey Tn!,

My hat's off to you man. Great digging.


I got out this morning, picked and planted about 100 red berries, plus I planted 1/2 lb of stratified seed.

Had a little rain late yesterday and made the ground nice and loose.

nosedowneyesopen,

Good Luck to you today !

rootman,

I planted a bunch of berries today too. Not sure how many but I would say at least 100 possibly more.

Glad someone is getting some rain and way to go on getting some stratified seed planted already.

All - - - one more Pic for today !

I was not at it long this morning and started feeling that old familliar stinging itch (poison ivy) on my right arm. Not far up the hollow I found a nice patch of jewel weed and picked some, crushed it and rubbed that sap on the sting/itch and WOW it stopped immediatly.

First time I have ever tried that and well did not even know aobut it until someone here mentioned it.

I brought some of it home to and I'm cooking me up some jewell weed tea. I saw a guy on youtube do it. You put 1.5 qt of water in a pot and get it to a boil, then cut up your jewel weed and put it in. Turn it down and let it simmer for 20 minutes, then cool and pour it into a jar and you can keep it in the fridge and use it as needed later on.



Now I have something to take care of the poison ivy

TNhunter,

I'd heard of jewelweed for poison ivy but had forgotten about it.

Great job...nice roots..Glad you had fun...

Jewelweed is great stuff.I use it all the time.Works on burns and bug bites too..

I mentioned that I rub it on before digging near poison ivy.It works and it seams to be everywhere.It's a handy little plant......

I never seen it boiled tho...Great tip....

FTB,

Check out the youtube vid below.

It shows how to cook it down to a tea so you can keep it for longer term use.

I did it just like that guy says.
