Awesome looking cabin

they are tubed, so that should protect from spraying?

What is recommended to spray?

My first tree planting this spring is doing really well. Yesterday after turkey hunting I checked on most of my seedlings. 75 swamp white oak, 25 plum, and 25 white pine. Nearly everything is doing well, just one plum not leafed out and although I didnt check every oak I'd bet 95% + are leafing...

No worries, appreciate the offer. I got them all planted and tubed a few weeks ago. I borrowed a dibble from a fellow Iowawhitetailer, worked great. I checked most of my plantings just yesterday after turkey hunting, 90% + are doing well and leafing out!

14 steps, that had to be a rush , and to fill the tag so early in the morning! Congrats

Coralberry/buckbrush. Lots of it on my farm. Forester said to leave it. Native and is a good foodsource/cover for wildlife. I have seen deer browse on it many times. Good cover, its about waist high when full grown.

I was fortunate enough to fill my 3rd season tag Sunday morning. I had gone out Saturday morning on a different farm that I've fill a tag the past two seasons. It was good morning of hearing a few gobbles, seeing a dozen or so deer, and watching a coyote chase deer around in timber. I did have...

I'd say turkey hunting is more enjoyable to me. The weather is more comfortable, dont have to worry about the wind/your scent, they handle hunting pressure better, you can come & go a lot easier. Throw up a blind to bowhunt out of in the middle of a field and they dont care. Hearing gobbles in...

I dont know much, but I just planted/tubed/staked 125 seedlings this past weekend. About 35 swamp white oaks were interplanted in about a 2 acre section of the timber. Winter 2024 I cut and treated all the honeysuckle and multiflora in that section. A lot more sun is getting to the floor now...

My farm has a really good population fall and into winter. Come March it seems they largely transition elsewhere. I'd love to trap if I was closer, daily trap checks are not feasible for me. Overall though driving around the hotspots where I could count on seeing large flocks of birds has...

It might drop rec land prices some. My down payment was largely money I had invested in an individual brokerage account. For some that may have been socking money away into an account to use as a down payment on a farm and were getting close to maybe buying something this spring or this year...

I've been working on farm some the past two winters on a plan drawn up by my district forester to control invasives, specifically bush honeysuckle and multiflora rose. Have your district forester come out and inspect the property and they will make a plan and then you can do the work and largely...

I looked around, but didnt ask if they carried. Maybe I over looked it. I'll have to keep those other places in mind.

What is MFA? I stopped at Osceola Farm & Home, they didnt carry any.
