That's the way it is here also. Never heard of the painting post purple. Jim, if you start on the outside and work toward the middle you may see something. I used to carry a 12 gauge pump when I was bush hogging. Would stop the tractor and catch half grown or smaller rabbits, then take them for the kids to raise. The fellow that is renting my fields now has gotten up turkeys and has seen where deer have been laying.
