Thank you for your input.

I have 280 acres that is adjacent to this piece, so I'm still able to hunt the same deer. My big concern is the timing of offers and when to actually list or try to sell the Iowa farm. I would like no contingencies on the offer to buy to make it more likely for the guy to accept my offer...

I live in Wisconsin and am getting older (59). I want to upgrade my Wisconsin hunting from what I have. Might have found something new with great deer age structure and neighbors to keep it that way. My problem comes in with trying to make an offer on the new piece. I think the seller wants...

Why do you say not to plant Cave in Rock? I have about 6 acres that I planted throughout the years, and it has worked great.

I just bought some Purina Rangeland Pro. I got it, but the person at the co op said Purina is discontinuing the Rangeland Pro. Sounds like the wind & rain is replacing it. The wind & rain sounds more like a pellet. Any thoughts on what to use if that goes discontinued?

I might have some to sell. I have 50 or so used in good shape and a bunch still in the bag. Not sure on qty. I'm in the wayne county area. They are the greenish, ventilated. Nice ones.

In a way I think those does should be passed up. I thought the big dominant bucks would breed those older does first. I don't know if that is true. Yes those smart ones are a pain in the butt. If not for the breeding thing, whack em.

I use an old drop spreader 5 or 6 feet long. (1960 ish drop fertilizer/ lime spreader) and put a 3 or 4" bolt on each of the knives on the inside. That keeps it mixing and it stays loose enough to drop. It puts the lime where you want it.

are you guys using the silicone as an insulation strip that the window doesn't stick to? If so, do you lay the bead then close the window until it dries and hopefully doesn't stick the window shut. :). Has anybody tried to insulate the inside of a roto molded blind. I use the Sportsmans...

I need to eliminate some coons. I would like to use the dog proof traps but since I am a non resident, the traps wouldn't be checked too often. What is the downfall to that other than lost opportunity. With hides not worth much, not sure if trappers would be interested.

High population, but plenty of food both grains and browse. I would say the ratio is no worse than 3 doe to 1 buck.

I saw over 6 shed bucks on 1 farm. 2 of the biggest were already shed.

kaj can you send me the same as well as location? thanks

I used roundup and crop oil in the spring before the switch germinates. I did this the first 2 years and got a awesome stand growing after 2 years.

must have been being towed :)
