I shot a man once.
Should have shot him twice.

Yes, all these, and more for me. I wish I'd have done then what I'm doing now...........infrastructure and nutrient management. I wish I had been more Internet savvy and found CT much sooner.Workinonit Farm":1ntdb37w said:1- I would have configured my working pen and loading area differently.
2- Managed the pastures differently/better.
3- Installed more gates, in more places.

East Tx didnt feel like Tx anymore. Where I live we wave at each other while driving down the road. Had a deer lease out by Jasper and another in Newton. Not a good experience. Beautiful pine trees though. (Never saw a deer, people got them at night from the shots and evidence we found) Me and my buddy, both conservative, short hair, 40's, camo hunting gear stopped at a hole on the wall middle of no where gas station to grab snacks and use the rest room.

Them " Beautiful pine trees though." is one of the reasons. Obscure the views, fall on fences, fall on the roads, knock the powerlines out about once/month, eject pollen on a scale that would make the Pentagon's most ardent chemical warfare planner seem like a childish amateur, block the breeze and make the woods feel like an oven with an added humidity content that defies physics and all known and theoretic gas laws..BK9954":1dqfnkjo said:Yeah greybeard, not sure why you didnt like moving back, and no offense to Caustic, but my experience in East Tx the hunting is harder and too many outlaw rip you off people instead of the good ole boy Texas I know out here.

You were in the twilight zone..Anything east of the Neches is in the dmz between Texas and the southeast.

1. Thinking I could clear overgrown fence with a weedeater and a pruning saw
2. Got loaned a free bulldozer for 3 months-only put about 25 hours on it.
3. Storing my tractor outside in the woods to "hide it from sight"--possum nested in it, nest caught fire, melted wires all over the place
4. Not carrying a fire extinguisher on my equipment (see #3)
5. Thinking I could spot spray 75 acres with a backpack sprayer and control weeds.
6. Pulling a 40 ft tree over with my 4-wheeler using a 15 ft chain.
yes...city guys are this dumb
Heck yeah that was worth thousands and thousands of dollars. I only wish someone will loan me a free bulldozer and not record the hours. Clear all the mesquites off my property with that.Ol' 243":3b97jw5x said:pdubdo":3b97jw5x said:Newbie mistakes after a city boy owning land for 2+ years:
