Today got me remembering how long and harsh winters are in Upstate New York

Today got me remembering how long and harsh winters are in Upstate New York. ❄️ I do look jealously as people down south this time of year, the cows eating fresh grass, 🌱 🐄  even with all the mud and melt. 👢 Winter just seems to be such a long slog in Upstate New York, although after today, it looks like we are in a moderating trend for at least a little while. ☀Maybe I’d feel different if I owned my own land, 🏠and heated with wood, 🌲 but I just hate being cold in winter, 🥶trapped in my tiny little apartment paying a ton for heat. ♨

Conspiracy Theories Spread Rapidly Because Of Trump, Social Media, Experts Say : NPR

Garland is not alone. An NPR/Ipsos poll in December found that a significant number of Americans believe disinformation about the coronavirus and about settled historical facts. The findings underscore the enduring nature of unfounded conspiracies at a time when experts say disinformation is being spread on an unprecedented scale.

"There is certainly a bloc of people who are willing to believe conspiracies sort of across the board," says Chris Jackson, a pollster at Ipsos, "even if it doesn't have any basis in reality or fact."

How Farmers and Landowners Help Predator Hunters Kill More Coyotes | Mossy Oak

No matter if it is livestock farmers or a crop-only farmer, they both hold one thing that is vital for being able to call predators, that is, the land to hunt on. It took me several years to figure it out, but having various properties to hunt is vital in successfully calling predators all season long. Having an array of property to hunt on prevents over-hunting an area, causing coyotes to become somewhat leery of coming to a call or feeling pressured by seeing or smelling human presence more than they will tolerate. Having a good relationship with multiple farmers can provide all the hunting opportunities you will need while providing a service to them in return. That service being predator control.
