What a difference a few days make
I hadn’t even see one until Saturday. I’ve asked around and most people were full up with them. Maybe I’m catching the overruns, but I have 5 in the house tonight!!!! I’ll take what I can get at this point, but I’m very happy. It’s a real safe place as far as BOPs. No big hardwoods trees for the BOPs to hide in and wait for them. 50 yards one way and 100 yards the other way to pines, then nothing the other 2 ways. Wide open.

Thank you. The main reason I want martins is due to my Dad. He passed away when I was 22, I’m 56 now. They were something he really loved having around. .amazing how when you get older, you want the things from you last more and more.
