can i grow and sell 154 plants in michigan?

I would just run an extra long NIGHT but I think one switchover would not hurt them. Night time will be much easier to control those temps. Much easier.

How close can you get tot he deer Marty? ...do you have bears by you?

I took these from my office window yesterday between thunder storms. I was taking pictures like the last one of the deer pulling the branches way down and eating them. Most those didnt' turn out though. I slid the top of the window down without the screen and got better pics.

when I don't mow sections of lawn, deer will bed down in my yard overnight. deer and wild turkey are present here on a daily basis and it sure beats the life I had in Lansing imo. I've been jogging in the UP and come face to face with a mother bear and her cubs... that was an adrenaline rush. love wildlife, but not so much for the type you find in cities.

When I was back home (Western Canada) last Christmas I read a story in the local paper about a hunter they found buried from the waist down, half eaten by a grizzly bear. The article went on to warn hunters about more aggressive grizzly bear populations due to polar bears migrating further south as ice recedes, and then mating with grizzly bears.

The offspring are supposedly a bigger, more aggressive grizzly/polar bear.

The hunters are being hunted!

No bears - just a small spit of woods here in SE MI.
I saw my neighbor within about 20 feet yesterday from the Doe - the kids were bedded down in the brush or somewhere at that time.
I've had them sleep within feet of me under my doorwall - while it's open and the TV is on.

Mostly though about the closest I get to them if I am not filling their water trough is about 40 - 50 feet on average.
Filling the water they may come within ten or fifteen feet waiting for me to leave so they can 'smell' it.
They always wait for the chlorine to burn off before drinking much.

If things go as usual it's a good chance I will get a pic of them in my back fenced in area sleeping at some point.
These fawns are the smallest I've seen yet I think - so it could be a few weeks before they start 'playing' out there in full view regular.
Later in the season they will join the herds down by the lakes; and shortly after the bucks will appear.
Sometimes 6 or 7 or more of them - all the 'young bucks' kicked out by the stag holding court in the herd I suppose.

Not unusual to see 6 pointers and even a couple 8's.
Had one down here last year that looked like a short horse from the rear.
Big fucking buck man - and I don't think he is the stag either.
Been a while but I saw a ten point from there eating clover in the yard.

so in 10 pages, did anyone answer uncle buck's question he started this thread with? lol

me, me , me-

iddidididididididididid!

He was not asking a question he was picking on someone. Everyone knows you can not.

for some dumb ass reason-

were i was at growing up, i developed an insufferable indifference for cookie cutters. hmm.

Nice marty, would like to see..that is a smart deer, keeping the babies close to the house to keep coyotes away.

Exactly my thoughts.
Seen a couple here over the years but I don't think they ever lived long.

I don't think my neighbor likes them much is all I will say.

But you have to be correct - they are so damn smart about the survival thing.

Was out walking my 2 dogs today and the oldest is a female and she is ten..well get home and grab some water I see she has something in her mouth and can barely see feet..so I make her give it to me and it is a baby rabbit..about the size of a newborn puppy...it has tiny ears that stand up...so not like a newborn but very young with fur ...any idea how to keep alive? put it in a box with a bunch of dead grass to bed on.. but not sure what to feed..milk? vegetables? fresh greens and water?

good luck with that man. maybe if u can find the rabbit hole u can place it back. there are likely more in the exact same area. any vet will give ya direction. peace

I just released it..no way to find nest on a 2 mile hike..but I looked up some info and read they are pretty independent early on and to release it is best chance...so hopefully I see him around the yard this summer.

You ever seen any mountain lions in the UP abe? or bear/bobcat?

Yes, a big tan f'er with a long tail ran out across the road up a steep hillside towards lake superior on the shore road from a wetlands area. This happened at midnight on a full moon after driving 11 hrs straight. I'm sure it wasn't a mirage and it tripped me out. My cousin claims she saw an all black one stairing at her in the driveway in the same area, but it's one of those things that sounds mythic until you witness yourself up close.

Nice, heard they live in this state

We have cougar around me down here. I saw one once. Then the DNR stated positively that none existed here. So we now know I was correct!!!! Again

Fukers are spooky big. Smooth killers. I love em

It will die..for whatever reason when you bring a baby wild rabbit in they always die...something about pneumonia and an inability to handle the air inside houses...
