Bamboo has a very healthy underground structure that goes quite deep. The rise usually end up about 4 feet below grade and I’ve never seen one in my 25 years of raising it get knocked over by the wind. I have clumping bamboo that stays where you put it and every year, it gets a little wider, but it doesn’t run, like most people think it does. Bamboo will go hundreds of feet underground but clumping as I mentioned stay where you put it. All of my bamboo starts life in a 5 gallon bucket but after 25 years, I’ve got some that’s 20 foot in diameter and 75 feet tall … I know you’re watching the race today in Vegas, it hasn’t been overly exciting yet… I wouldn’t mind seeing Bubba Wallace roll his car…

I’d rather see Logano and Hamlin ram each other

I would harvest that bamboo and make something. Lucky I’m not there I clear that brush after a storm pretty good way better than that crew you had (plenty of experience living in south east Ga every storm…) and I work for bamboo

Frying up a bowl of fried chicken tonight. Pops is bringing the potato salad and collard greens. Eating good tonight.

Shooting the prime breeding bucks is also not good for the herds future.

Same as a 25” Rainbow or Brown Trout. They are old and mushy. Take a picture and let them live out their days making little trout.

I'm glad you get to spend time with your dad

yeah but they taste a lot better than the old tough stinky ones…
‘does too. I was raised on venison and hated when daddy would get a big buck. Momma was pretty good at getting the wild taste out but not in them big bucks…

Thanks! I'll check it out tomorrow when they are open.

I can tell you some scary stories of how badly they tore our town up a few times when I was growing up in Oklahoma. One of the prime reasons I am in the Pacific NW where they are rare.

I hate getting up in the middle of the night and going to a dingy dank storm cellar.

We bought the house next door to them. And was good, because they’ve needed a lot of help over the last couple years. Health, and age. I’m glad I am two minutes away.

I have so much bamboo and other tropical plants here that I wouldn’t even consider trying to take the time and making a flute or a whistle out of my bamboo although it’s quite easy. I had one Grove unfortunately that died on me that was 80 foot tall and 6 inches in diameter. I figure when I get home from the gym tomorrow I might have a little bit of energy pumped up and try to do something outback. I’ve got a grandson that lives 45 minutes away and he doesn’t know how to hold a rake, shovel or chainsaw. My daughter raised the pussy , but I love him dearly

Kids are not taught anything like raking or sweeping. Half the new apprentices we hired at the base did not know how to sweep. We actually had sweep training once. I got one of the kids to teach it. They knew I don’t like to see them sitting around doing nothing while waiting on assist craft or parts. Keep the shop and the tools clean while you wait. They can actually learn, it’s just that nobody taught them Or expected anything out of them…

I went to HS in Andover, college at Southwestern and WSU and parents lived in Mulvane and never was close to a tornado.

I divorced one.

The big older stinky ones are usually the ones breeding. Shooting for a trophy rack takes them out of the breeding stock.

I wonder how much their neighbors like the noise at night when the wind blows?

They would get use to it like the sirens and jets that fly over only in a hymatizing way

You have to season and cook it differently. Also need to be rare. I age mine two weeks before I process into the final product. My steaks are tender, could cut with a table knife. That’s a butter knife for you uncouth heathens.

I like to make a mushroom gravy with them.

Biggest thing is people tend to shoot those big ole bucks. And they just don’t taste good.

Im a meat hunter more interested in something in my gut already have some on the walls
