Just got one yesterday. Close up!

Have both cudde and Reveals. Reveals are the best bang for your buck out there. They have thought of every single feature it's impressive. Have 30+. That said, in tough service super rural areas, having a cudde system where only home cam needs service is the way to go. It's cheaper for a...

100% noticed genetic antler tendencies in. I'll notice it around certain towns vs others, so say maybe 5-8 square mile areas. One area they might disproportionately throw split brows, split G2s, drop tines once they get old, palmation, etc etc. Some take age to express. Seems like frame...

For hand spread - buy a Solo and never need to buy another the rest of your life. I used to burn through the bag spreaders as well and finally spent the money. So totally worth it

Ernst Seed has fantastic service and great seed at great prices. Vast variety of seed options too. They'll cut any size order and even bag up odds and end sized bags for different fields if you'd like. Been using them for years.

White pine licking branch beats an oak branch every time in my experience. It doesn't matter if you don't have picky deer, but in some areas they absolutely are picky and white pine gets them to go when others don't.

I've been tinkering with different combos in different areas for several years, as I'm sure we all have. Big thing I've noticed is some areas deer are pickier than others. In a "not picky" deer area you can have great success with just about anything!! In the picky areas, they will walk by...

Mow it high. Absolutely the best rye establishment method shown by rob

I don't know if this is right but I have 24D'd the crap out thistle and it dies, but more always comes back. SO - just experimented this spring. Had a nasty patch come up in a clover plot (1/5 ac thistles), so I hit that stuff with a HOT mix of Triclopyr and it absolutely stoned it. No clue...

Great idea for a thread! And great story! I'm fortunate to have been raised by great parents who've always drove home the idea of save, save, save. Working and making money growing up and through school, I never spent much on typical kid "stuff" and just slowly accumulated more and more...

That will turn out fantastic. I'd encourage you to plant a few cedars or conifers in the strips as well.

Alpha Nursery in Holland, MI offers bare root shingle oak in the spring. There are a couple Amish outfits that sell 4-5ft tall ones in 3 gal pots for like $10 each as well. Those are in N IN and southern MI. I did buy two large burlaped ones for scrape trees last summer. They were 7ft+ but...

This isn't directly your question but here's my small drill experience: After years of getting it done hand broadcasting, disking, and rocking my 2 row JD planter, finally got a PH drill this spring. Have already planted clover, rye, switchgrass, milo, and soybeans through it with excellent...

Not sure if they come in camo, but the First Lite Sawbuck brush pants are so incredibly nice and would make a great early season pant if you're not a camo pattern diva. I have just the tan, green, and slate colored ones for working and now haven't worn jeans in about two years. They're NICE...

This^ - Could even include some brassicas in the fall mix. Clover will be so thick and lush the following spring you'll be amazed
