View attachment 1228594Anyone using the US GENERAL series 3 boxes? Just ordered mine yesterday, Upgrading from a 26” craftsman box.
Saw one if their carts with drawers a couple weeks ago on offer-up for 100, I was too late. It was white, but I would have dealt with that.
 
We haven't seen or heard any coyotes in awhile around our place.

Speaking of puppies. We added one to our family yesterday. Mom is a Black Goldendoodle. Dad is a purebred Golden Retriever. We named him Bodie. He is 25% Black Poodle and 75% Golden Retriever. Last night it took a radio left on to quiet him down at bedtime. He made it through the night accident free. He loves the snow and watching TV.
We have at least two running the area, they cover a lot of ground and fast. Haven't gotten any new pics of them or any pics of nothing in a few days. Yesterday I went out and did a bit of scouting(before all the snow melts again) , found where they entered and exited the property. I was a bit surprised they didn't get close at all to the chicken coop/run, not that they could have gotten in without digging for a while. I have fence down a ways below the ground, 1' and more below the door lol.
Cute pup, look forward to seeing pics along the way, they get big fast!
 
After I cleaned ducks this fall, I put the carcasses up on the back end of my property. Within an hour and a half there was a coyote on them. That’s how close they are at all times!

Also had a pine marten that paid many visits. He even came in the middle of the night.
I had to look up pine Martin, never seen one, pretty cool.
I wish I had something to bait them in, saw a nice doe carcass on the way to Detroit area this morning, just didn't think it would be a good idea to have it in the trailer while delivering eggs 😅.
See if these videos upload.
First may be a big fox, not sure, second is a couple yotes.
Well, hope you like turkeys, can't find the videos, I'll try again.
They're heading towards some of the wood I need to scrounge/clean up from the storm in the fall of 2023. Some off to tye r8ght as well.

They tore this area up right behind a stand, took this to show my buddy when I was out there yesterday. It's about 45-50yrds long, must have been something good there.
This is the direction they were heading in the oic above, just need to turn left.

@Squareground3691 my stove is going too but it’s not really cold here. This past weekend the mornings were in the teens though.
It’s actually mild today mid 20’s , but the last few days were in the single digits in the morning and wind chill in negative numbers, It’s been burning steady all day and night, pretty much primary heat source for home in winter, I have plenty of wood 🪵 to burn 👍
