Message @IowaBowHunter1983, he does a ton of TSI in Southern IA, Northern MO. He can probably point you in the right direction

I had one back before I had a tractor. Does it work? Yes. The issues were exactly what you said and also it cuts it too short. I rigged it up to cut higher but it still did just a fair job.

I shoot the G5 mega meats. I have been on a quest over the past few years to find "the" broadhead. There have been many trials and tribulations. One thing I will tell you for certain is that I will never shoot another single bevel broadhead again. It will only ever be expandables. Just...

I am not a western hunter at all, but I do nerd out pretty heavily on arrows as I build my own. Here is my quick advice followed up with my "2" setups FOC matters and doesn't matter. There is such a thing as too much and maybe not enough. I believe the ideal setup runs around 13-16% FOC. FOC...

Rob is spot on. Burn it...one thing that I have found over the years is the areas with little vegetation growth are severely lacking soil nutrients. Basically what I am telling you is that if weeds are having a hard time growing in this area you had better add some fertilizer and lime to it or...

Given the info provided here is how I would handle this: Burn now. By late May to mid June you should be able to see if there is switch coming up. If there is great! Do nothing and watch it grow. If not, spray the field to kill it and drill some right back into it. With you drilling that...

I dont mean to be that guy but cutting trees without chaps or chainsaw pants on is a dangerous game to be playing...

The issue with this is with the "new" switch varieties like Big Rock. Its quite a bit more vigorous and seems to "wake up" a bit earlier than other varieties previously did. I would say burning No later than the 1st in Iowa.

No...late burn as in late spring right before the switch germinates.

I would like to hear from the others that planted Milo this past year on the deer usage?

This is a quick version. Light green=Clover Dark green= Brassicas/dbl tree mix(rotate) Yellow= Grain Orange=Screen(egyptian wheat) Red= Stands/Blinds Purple=Access The reason I would do the southern two legs into clover is because they will be very easy to access during bow season but also the...

I think one thing to note with Skips aerials are that he has "all" the food in one spot. Clover, brassicas, rye mix and grains. I think this is something that is so important. Deer are natural grazers. They are going to eat on all of it at any given time. Granted there could be times where they...

I just looked at the new Stihl catalog....The BR 800x is nearly 3lbs lighter than the C-E. Stihl is diving hard into the electric world. They have a new BRA 600. BRA 600- Electric Run Time- 17 mins at full boost mode Blowing Force- 35 newtons BR 800 x- Gas Run time- Until tank is empty 67.6...

Sure. Screening plots is such an under-utilized tactic. My maps were just suggestions as well. The key point is pouring the food to that place. BUT the one thing to remember, in a bait state no magic food plot will ever beat a corn pile so you will need to incorporate that as well, especially if...

I am pretty sure the guy in WDM is a bit older. But I do know you can specifically call and ask for the lead bow tech
