Harvesting Quail
Today I’m finally posting my quail how-to video. I’ve written about it before, but I never could task anyone into holding the camera while I went through the process. I was finally able to talk my youngest daughter into helping, she is a trooper. BE WARNED, THE VIDEO SHOWS ME

I have a confession to make. It is rather embarrassing, but I feel it is time I come clean. My wife has known about this, and while she is supportive most of the time, occasionally, in my moments of weakness, she gets upset with me. I don’t blame her, I know I have a problem, […]
