The issue is the type of grasses that you're fighting. Brome can take a punch of cleth. Generally I use 1 oz per gal of cleth. However, when you are dealing with tough grasses like sedge and brome you need to be hot with cleth to make a difference. In my experience to get rid of that brome...

To kill the foxtail and brome you'd have to go heavy on the cleth. 3 oz per gal. Which that will burn young clover. More established clover will turn brown and burn from cleth but it bounces back within a week. For how heavy you'd need to go with the cleth it would burn young clover pretty harsh.

That bear didn't know he was messing with Randy Johnson!

The cheap black fence holders are nice and easy to use but your line will be on the ground about 20 times during the summer. give and take.

Your picture above is how I did it the first year. Had every deer just jump it with ease. They laughed at me as they jumped. Ha. Have a cool trail cam video of it. Yes, deer go under and they still jump it with ease. You can't keep them all out. Just deter most of them.

This is what I have success doing. 2 rows. Outside row 1 line of poly wire about chest high. Inside row two lines. One at knee height. One at shoulder height. Few feet in between for spacing. On hard corners or where the line will have the most pressure make sure to hammer in T post. If doing T...

Hmmmmm..

A win for the golfers!

I have seen the same results with beans. My largest plot is beans this year. They were wiped out by middle of January. The variety of beans is a really interesting one. I've seen different varieties be hit or miss. 100% up tapped I agree. I've planted the RWW beans in past and haven't noticed...

It was stated about opinions being formed around the "common mans" way of thinking vs the "elitist".. What do you consider "elitist"? Do you think the "elitist" hunters are helping iowa deer hunting or having a more negative affect?

Whose bub?!

No, tags should not be floating from year to year if not filled. Pay for the tag each year. 15 years of age is old enough for youth tags. Many, many reasons why. Buy your 16 year old kid that tag and license... It's memories that will last a lifetime. Yes, raising a family is expensive. And...
