Buccaneer is one that's pretty widely available also.

I was just thinking of tubing them for a season or two just because the tubes were easier until they got going. Tell me if I'm being lazy and just need to cage the little devils.

I have plantede about 30 pitch loblolli, white pine and norway spruce around the yard. They are anywhere from 10-18" tall. Ive weed barrier-ed and mulched them, should I go ahead and tube them like I would an oak or chestnut seedling? or go ahead and put small cages on the dang things???? Im...

Very good success rate on cedars. Last year the 2-3' trees I transplanted 2 years ago (2nd growing season) grew 2' with the wet spring we had.

Resident harvest is flat due to decrease in accessibility to quality hunting experience for average guy. They would reduce if there wasnt a LA, MI, MN or SC license plate at every parking lot. I know MANY residents of mo have greatly reduced how much they hunt or quit altogether due to loss of...

This is a survey. I voted as I did to get the attention that something significant needs to be done. A resident first agenda needs to be adopted.

If you have a care about MO regs please complete this survey. MO needs to limit non-resident hunting pressure badly (among many other regulation modifications). Survey period ends March 24th. Any help is appreciated. "MDC is considering a range of potential regulatory changes regarding...
