I stopped pounding a post in when the spade gets about half way in the ground for that exact reason. So far zero effects when removing post on trees. My assumption was the spade wasn't deep enough to get into any serious root issues.

You read my mind! The mix of foxtail looked like bird heaven eating those seeds and brining some diversity into the mix. The brome... that stuff is our #1 enemy lol Gonna burn this spring and see what happens, otherwise fall spraying after switch goes dormant will be done in 2026 for sure!

Goatman on here sent me some of his Sawtooth acorns probably ten years ago and they did really well for me! Waiting on the day I can take these acorns and share them with others and spread them on our own property! Need to get t-post removed from around these trees, they're long past needing...

I don't have an answer for ya T_Max - maybe someone else will chime in. I enjoy seeing other folks update photos to sharing some of mine. Planted July 4th 2024 at the beginning of a long dry spell. On it's second year this year and it's amazing! Got some foxtail and brome creeping in, we'll...

Drilled - and I don't recall exactly 8-10lbs? We had great germination but we lost some due to the drought and weed pressure last summer, I'm sure of that. But it looks like it will work out just fine! In hindsight - if we'd have addressed the weed issue post planting with Duracor and...

Crazy, thanks for sharing!!

Second year RC Bigrock Switchgrass here. Planted July 3rd 2024, right when all the rain shutoff in 2024. It got weedy last year post planting, we sprayed gly/pre-emerge 3 or 4 times last year and it all seemed short lived. Weeds were relentless. Finally planted and then foxtail and weeds...

That's wild!! Congrats!!

Sounded like a perfect spot and stalk chance on that yote!

Always amazes me when birds never make a peep, cool story!

Hackberry grow WELL in our oak timbers, too well. They're fairly shade tolerant and take up the majority of the mid canopy. We cut them any chance we get, otherwise that's all that'd be here.

Love it, congrats!

I enjoy it more than deer hunting anymore! Good luck to ya!

Here's what I got, love it! I wish I had pics of some of the trees I cut down with it, massive for that 10" blade...

Call me crazy - but I've switched to a pole saw for cutting stuff under 10". May be a touch slower cutting but I can work for much much longer without having a sore back from bending over. Also feel like I can trim up cedars and reach the trunks of them better when standing 6-8' away and...
