Southern Illinois deep woods Armadillo's den/critter cam ep #1. Wow, was I surprised at this reel! A couple of month's ago I found a new den in the woods on our very remote, 150 acre Southern Illinois farm. We are nestled among tens of thousands of acres of the Shawnee National Forest so we see a LOT of very unique and up close wildlife from our very remote homestead. So I put a tactacam reveal X cellular trail cam on this unknown den to see what trail cam videos we might get from it. And man was it a goldmine at ground level, up close wildlife! Of course we found out it was an Armadillo's den, which is the very first Armadillo that we have ever seen in our area in Southern Illinois for the last 8 years or so. And then the different animal species that showed up looking for food, or shelter or curiosity was pretty amazing! Here are a couple of other wildlife videos from our farm that you might be interested in. 8 MILLION VIEWS; Cat, snake & deer fawn: https://youtu.be/14CxOJjD5xA WILD BOBCAT LURKING AROUND OUR HOUSE AS OUR CAT RUNS INSIDE: https://studio.youtube.com/video/T8MI7QdB_io/edit AMAZING UP CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH BABY BOBCATS: https://studio.youtube.com/video/0FmaVwSlmGw/edit Thanks for joining us today, and as always please hit the like button and share this video if you got a laugh, learned something new or just enjoyed some vicarious fresh air with our team!

Will this be a turning point!? The struggle is real when you live in the middle of the Shawnee National forest and have a super high density of not only deer, but rabbits, woodchucks, crows, and many other food plot eating critters! But I am not giving up just yet this year! This year I promised myself I would be much more diligent with weed competition, soil preparation and ongoing fertilizing! Join me for the whole process to see what went right, what went wrong, the current steps I've taken, some great corn and soybean food plot chronological updates, and and up to the day update as of today to see where we stand! I also put out some 'human fakes,' including several machines and my tractor in the fields to try to at least slow the eating carnage of the corn and soybeans. Also I added 2 new utilization cages to better gauage what I already believe, as far as the devastating critter carnage!

EP #21 of our latest adventure/land investment project from our Southern Illinois farm. Join us today for EP #the21 of our next series of the entire process of building a new VRBO rustic cabin build series from our Southern Illinois land, which is smack dab in the middle of the Shawnee National Forest here in Southern Illinois. In today's EP #21 we'll do another time lapse of the building process as the building crew finishes the rough grading dirt work and then lays out the concrete footers, digs the footer trench and pours the concrete footers for the main cabin concrete slab. Of course we have had lots of setbacks already due to heavy rains, washouts and more. But today we will be all caught up as of June 30, 2022 and we are hoping for a fresh start for July!

The struggle is real when you live in the middle of the Shawnee National forest and have a super high density of not only deer, but rabbits, woodchucks, crows, and many other food plot eating critters! But I am not giving up just yet this year! Join us for a near 6 week process of my corn and soybean food plots as this year I promised myself I would be much more diligent with weed competition, soil preparation and ongoing fertilizing! Without giving away too much information on this very complete and informative video, I did have to RE-PLANT BOTH the corn and soybean food plots! Each for different reasons. My original plan was to plant about 9 to 10 acres of corn and soybeans to try to overwhelm the wildlife grazers with enough tonnage so that I could just get some of the corn and soybeans to mature for some nice deer food plots come this fall. But as usual I was foiled once again! So the soybeans I got were free from a farmer that had leftover from last year. Free is always good, especially when you are talking about commercial soybeans that cost upwards of $50 to $100 bucks a bag! Join me for the whole process to see what went right, what went wrong, the current steps I've taken, some great corn and soybean food plot chronological updates, and and up to the day update as of today to see where we stand! I also put out some 'human fakes,' including several machines and my tractor in the fields to try to at least slow the eating carnage of the corn and soybeans. Also I added 2 new utilization cages to better gauage what I already believe, as far as the devastating critter carnage!

Sharon here, and today I'm trying something new with wild honeysuckle vines I picked from our wooded property in Southern Illinois. What is invasive and not a friend of trees is just what I need to make this unbelievably stunning showpiece! Using hand cut and stripped vines, wire, Gorilla hot glue, fire retardant spray, a box store chandelier, high temp finish and a lot of patience and imagination, I put together a rustic lighting feature that will be perfect in our VRBO cabin build. I don't have a cabin to hang it in yet, but that doesn't stop me from trying to visualize what it will look like in the cabin. Like what you see? Check out our other playlists that have many unique hand crafted furniture and decor, perfect for any home.

Super hilly terrain. Lot's of rocks and boulders. Tight budget. Cutting a new road through the woods. Installing a big culvert pipe across a washed out ditch, and more! Join us today for another very interesting and successful deep woods land management project, and land improvement project as I tackle another day on this client 5 acre property located near the Garden of the Gods in Southern Illinois. This is VERY steep and very remote country here so there is NO excavation job that will be 'easy' to accomplish! In today's mission I'll be using my bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator to cut a new road through the woods, and also fix up an old and overgrown logging road. I'll be using my bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator with my Mongo tilt bucket to improve this logging road and widen it as well. I will also cut a new deep woods loop road around the new campsite that I recently graded and leveled on a ridgetop deep in the woods!

Stay tuned for some great riding videos as Honda invited a small group of unique YouTube channels. The morning ride was totally awesome! We are riding at the Ride Royal Blue trail system in Pioneer Tennessee. All of our channels will have some great content and I will share all the channels soon so stay tuned. Thank you!

I've been waiting for this for years!! Join me today for a very epic land management project as I finally have the weedwhacker from the eternals! For many years I've dreamt of owning a serious heavy duty brush cutter for my bobcat e42 r2 series mini excavator, but until now I have not been able to afford. But today is different!! Join me today in the cab (oh, and some cool drone videos to boot!) of my 2021 bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator as I try out my new Construction Attachments heavy duty 42" mini excavator brush cutter on our severely overgrown pond dams! Today I'll be cleaning up the 'old pond dams,' that have been overgrown for decades. This pond is likely 50 to 60 years old, and has lots of trees and woody brush growing on it. While it is far too late to clear the trees off of this overgrown pond dam, it is not too late to clear all of the woody brush and overgrown brush on it to open up some new pond fishing spots, and some breathing room to be able to walk on the old pond dam! We'll also get some cool drone videos taken from my DJI phantom 4 pro, as well as some great in cab, GoPro Hero 10 videos. I think you will really enjoy this video! And as always, if you do enjoy it, please share it for us, hit the like button and subscribe to follow all of our very unique country living and land management projects! I have not cleared these overgrown pond dams for at least 3 years. So there is significant overgrowth that needs to be cleared and cleaned up!

Something different for sure! In today's episode I thought I'd create something really unique and different. Recently my buddy Phil came over with his tractor and planter and between the two of us we tackled about 5 acres of food plots. I started tilling early in the morning with my Kioti RX7320 and Rhino heavy duty tiller and phil brought over his Branson tractor and Tar River planter and came behind me and planted the corn portion of my food plots. Just something different today!

This thing is awesome! Join me in the field and the cab of my bobcat e42 R2 series mini excavator as I take out my construction attachments 42" mini excavator brush cutter for the very first time and tackle one half of our severely overgrown ditches on our mile long driveway to get things cleaned up! In today's episode I will share some of my learning experiences with this 42" mini excavator brush cutter and I will share my experiences with you. I have not cleared these steep driveway ditches since we built this road over 5 years ago. So there is significant overgrowth that needs to be cleared and cleaned up!

After not seeing or hearing any bobwhite quail for the last 2 years I thought that they were all gone! (Quail are rapidly disappearing down here in far Southern Illinois due to habitat loss). But today I Heard some fantastic news! In the last 2 years we have added roughly 15 acres of new quail cover in the form of warm season native grasses and natural regeneration of previous farm fields. So this was very exciting to hear!

Well after being rained out for 2 weeks the cabin build project has started up again! Join us for a time lapse that covers about 2 weeks or so of the excavation of our VRBO rustic cabin build project. Several different skid steers at work, lots of mud, and then the bobcat e42 R series and a skid steer working at the same time. Stay tuned to follow this VRBO cabin build project.

Clearing and grading a new remote wooded campsite on a beautiful ridgetop with mini excavator! Join me today as I continue on a land management project on a 5 acre project property that is located deep inside of the Shawnee National Forest here in Southern Illinois. If you missed the last episode of this project "Cutting a new road through the woods & installing a 20 foot culvert pipe across washed out ditch" here is a link to that project: https://youtu.be/qWpMYdp3fQk Today the very first thing we will do is a follow up look of that new culvert pipe on a ditch crossing to see if it worked or washed out after some heavy rains! Then we will head up a deep woods, old logging trail with the bobcat e42 R series mini excavator up to a beautiful ridge top to start some land clearing, excavator digging and grading for a future remote campsite in the woods at this ridgetop location.

Totally exciting! Join us for the big 3d reveal of our VRBO rustic cabin in the woods build project. So far the very BIG retaining wall is done! Oh, and before I forget if you missed DAY 1 when we got a semi truck and trailer, with 20 tons of stone stuck, here are the first 2 episodes that you won't want to miss! HE BURIED THE SEMI TRUCK AND TRAILER: https://youtu.be/OY-6nCUvVOI OFF ROAD VEHICLE RECOVERY OF SEMI TRUCK & TRAILER WITH 2 EXCAVATORS: https://youtu.be/MYLXcBRU-Xw Join us for our next life adventure project here at the Kapper Outdoors farm located in far Southern Illinois, not far from the Kentucky border. In this episode, Sharon will give an update on the actual cabin structure and layout as she personally designed this cabin herself and had the blueprints done as a one of a kind layout! And of course she will be adding a ton of absolute, one of a kind rustic nature items to totally incorporate nature into the entire cabin. This week the building process will continue since it has been rained out for the last 2 weeks. We hope you'll consider subscribing to join us on this new life adventure! The rough grade is done preparing for the concrete pour, which will consist of a 10' back porch, a 10' front porch, the entire home floor and an additional concrete back patio that will eventually overlook a future pond. Join us for this entire rustic cabin in the woods project and stay tuned for weekly or bi weekly updates depending on the progress that is being made.

I set up a new time lapse tactacam trail camera on our new Rustic cabin in the woods building site, and even though we've been rained out for the last 2 weeks the test time lapse captured some interesting stuff! Mostly critters and deer and of course several great clips of our first deer fawn of 2022! We might have to name that little cute deer fawn since they really seem to live close by, as they show up regularly at the cabin build site to see what's going on! Don't forget to like and subscribe to follow this new cabin build project as we give weekly updates (when progress is being made), and maybe even daily updates if and when things start to really move fast!

Join me today and get out of the house or office for some beautiful sunshine and fresh air coming at you from beautiful Southern Illinois! In today's episode I'll take our my Kioti RX7320 and and old Allis Chalmers no till planter and I'll be planting Milo food plot grain sorghum for deer, quail, turkey, and I'll also drill some Milo in my floodable duck impoundment, aka the duck pond! Maybe this will be my year for success with the floodable duck impoundment experiment!? I am always experimenting on our Southern Illinois 150 acre farm with food plots for deer, wildlife food plots, natural and native plantings and reforestation projects, wildlife ponds, watering holes, and so much more. So a few years back I excavated a floodable duck impoundment and set it up so that I could flood it in the fall from our big pond. But so far I have not been successful in the plan working as there was always some kind of failure on my part, or the the wildlife and deer just wrecked the waterfowl food I was trying to grow! Will this year be different? Stay tuned to find out. Thanks for joining me today in the tractor cab and on Memorial Day! Rest assured that this only took a little while and the rest of the day I chilled out on the farm pond beach and got some rest!
