Looks like you did a great job on the solar array.  Is that the recommended angle at your location?   :usa:

Yes, for this time of year at due south. I can adjust the angle steeper as the year progresses. We used an App. :)

I looked at the hostas, they are up and doing good. 
The wood chucks are doing good too.  smiley_thumbsdown  I found 4 places that they are active. I am going to see if I can slow down the active part.  :wacky:

Need some red foxes around. Mine here cleaned up on the ground hogs I had for 2 years. Even saw the fox around yesterday on patrol. :)

When I had chickens, I had foxes. Maybe I need to get chickens again.  :wacky:
We always had wood chucks here.
Have not found anything to clean them out.

They seem to be in cycles like rabbits. They will get plentiful for a year or two, then the foxes clean house. We've always had groundhogs to, the foxes seem to know it's time to clean them out every so often.  ffcheesy I have not seen one around here since last spring. I did see one 2 miles up the road yesterday, the neighbor there said he saw a fox around to. So groundhog days are numbered. ffcheesy

We have resident foxes and rarely see ground hogs. 30 years ago there were lots of them around and foxes were seldom seen. Now we see foxes. We had some ground hogs move in a couple years ago or so. A buddy saw one with a little one day and thought I should get right after them and kill them before they undermined my farm buildings and multiplied more. I'd seen them around too. The foxes took care of the population. I'm still seeing foxes and haven't seen a ground hog since.

My sister and brother-in-law have Hosta's growing in their back yard. He likes to refer to them by the full Latin name: "Hosta La Vistas". :thumbsup:

Not so far this year. Still deciding if I want to hunt. I have 10 points. I could get a tag anytime I choose. Probably since we are having a pigroast, I won't hunt. That takes dedication of time

Will you hunt in your own land, or are those deer considered residents.  Should be easier if you know what is there, but if you begin to recognize then as individuals...  I will be sad to miss the pig roast, but it is my wife's birth month as she is about to become 60.  I think I will do well to concentrate on that.  We are going to a Morgan Wallen concert in KC she has planned for 6 months.  She enjoys going to FF events, but now I need to do the same for her.  birth month.   :wacky: ffsmiley

How close is the nearest other water source to this?  It sure is getting some wildlife traffic.  Pretty cool!

Once we get into summer, probably less than a quarter mile to the carlton Marsh leading to the st. Marys river across the road, in dry weather. 
 Really no shortage of water, just small water areas that get rare.

This will give you an idea of my surroundings. Pretty wild.
